How Fitness Changed Tony Horton's Life

By Tony Horton, creator of P90X^®

I'm learning that when you decide to eat right and exercise regularly, the person you become will have it pretty easy, and life will no longer seem quite as hard. Until I got really fit, I used to have so many problems. Everything seemed difficult and daunting. There was a lot of drama and conflict. I was lazy, tired, and overwhelmed. I didn't have the feel-good brain chemistry of a person who was firing on all cylinders from making better choices. Life was a struggle. But I had no clue that my poor diet and erratic physical activity were the reasons for my misery.

In my late twenties and early thirties, I began to eat better and work out more regularly. Oddly enough, new opportunities began to come my way. My confidence improved, and the drama began to fade away. It never occurred to me that healthier food and physical activity were responsible for the shifts in my life. I chalked it all up to luck, nothing more. Sometimes, for brief periods of time, I'd get lazy, eat garbage, and blow off workouts. And guess what? Life got hard again. But I still hadn't put two and two together.

By the time I made fitness my true vocation 13 years ago, I was in much better shape—not perfect, but pretty good. Those early days of creating my at-home DVD routines were fun and exciting. I was in the right place at the right time with the right experience to be able to help my business partners create something different and better when it came to at-home workouts. We were striking gold where it had never been found before. You'd think by then I'd have a clearer understanding that my regular exercise and healthy eating had something to do with my early triumphs, but the answer was still no. More great luck, right?


Turns out the more consistent I was with my workouts and the better I ate, the more opportunities came my way. Only in the last 2 or 3 years have I truly begun to appreciate that by exercising 6 or 7 days a week and eating wholesome foods, I have the energy and enthusiasm for a life I enjoy.

I'm not telling you this to brag—I'm sharing this experience because I want you to realize that life can be incredible, and not through luck or upbringing or even education. I know plenty of people who have degrees from top schools and who make tons of money—and they're a mess. Joy, happiness, opportunities, success, and the life you want come from switching to a lifestyle that involves regular exercise and whole foods. What seems hard as hell at first will turn your life into a carefree world of endless experiences and plenty of opportunities, and will give you the energy and enthusiasm you need to enjoy life for the rest of your life.

How My Roomate Lost 115 Pounds Using P90x in Less Than a Year !

A little over a year ago, My friend and roommate Miranda Schmidt set off on a weight loss journey.  Little did I know that the end result would be her losing 115lbs. She has definitely inspired many people along the way, including myself!

At Her Heaviest-260lbs

 

When she decided to make a change in her lifestyle, I had no doubt that she would achieve her goal. I had a copy of p90x lying in my room, and she asked if she could borrow it. I of course said yes and then saw how determined she really was. She followed the p90x meal plan word for word and never missed a day of working out, despite working long hours at work. She even started Shakeology to work with her so that she can have a healthy meal instead of eating fast food. Here are her Day 1 before photos.

Over the course of a year, their was no workout that she wouldn't try. She did 2 rounds of p90x, and 1 round Brazil Butt Lift. She was even able to conquer Insanity. The end result was Miranda losing 115lbs.

P90x was declared the winner in P90x vs. Gym war

Last night was such an awesome night! We went out to Tao Nighclub, here in Las Vegas. One of our friends told us that there was a Hot Body Contest, and she knew my friend Ryan would be perfect. Ryan is a Beachbody Coach and he used P90x to get in awesome shape. Ryan's competition was a Bodybuilder and he was huge.

Harvey, one of the judges on the hit show TV The Biggest Loser, was the guest Judge for this contest. The prize money from the contest was $1000. I was watching on nervous as hell.His competetion was twice his size, and I think he was juicing.

When Ryan stepped on stage, the crowd went bananas. The girls lost their mind! I was cheering at the top of my lungs. When the bodybuilder got up there, I got a little nervous because he was so huge.

When Harvey came back with the final decision, Ryan was the clear cut winner. Harvey said that he liked the natural look. We got to network with a lot of people and spread the word about P90x.

Can You Sacrifice An Hour A Day?

Over the past couple of weeks, I've been talking to lots of people on Twitter, and it seems like the biggest problem for people is staying consistent with their workout program. They start p90x or Insanity with the intention of getting ripped, but then life steps in the way. You miss one day, and then another. Before you know it, weeks have gone by and that program you paid for is collecting dust.

So what is the solution? The only solution is that you have to commit to the program. If you want the results, you have to show up everyday. If having a beautiful physique was easy, everyone would be ripped. If you walk down the street, you quickly realize that this isn't the case.

When I first started my weight loss journey, I started and stopped Insanity at least 3 times. It wasn't until I made getting in shape a priority that I started seeing results. I decided that for the next 60 days, I would find an hour to take care of my body with exercise. Sometimes you have to sacrifice things you like doing like watching TV or chilling on Facebook, but the results are more than worth it. If you want more self esteem and confidence, find an hour a day.
