How Tony Horton Changed the Face of Fitness-Ep. 101
How Tony Horton Got His Start in Fitness
You’ve probably heard of the P90, P90x, and 10 Minute Trainer programs etc. However, you may not know the entire story of how the creator,Tony Horton, was inspired and came to devise these programs. Due to his workout programs, books, and more, he has completely changed the face of fitness as we know it.
On this week’s podcast, Rob had a lively one-on-one with Tony about his background story, commitment to fitness, nutrition values and most of all- his career. As a result of all he’s done, it’s incredible how far Tony has come as a fitness trainer since the days when he used to work a variety of different jobs just to get by and before he came to Los Angeles to pursue acting.
Further more, if Tony’s story doesn’t inspire you to commit yourself to living healthy, have fun enjoying the activities that you love to do, and pursue your dreams, we don’t know what else will.
