301. P90X Creator Tony Horton on the Power of Exercise to Change Your Life

301. P90X Creator Tony Horton on the Power of Exercise to Change Your Life

When it comes to health and fitness, Tony Horton needs no introduction. For over 40 years he has been involved in the fitness industry, and continues to be a model of health well into his 60s. Tony became a household name with the development of P90X, and has worked with a number of celebrities including Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty.

Although Tony does not run competitively, he explores his local California trails on the run each week as part of his regular fitness routine. Tony has long emphasized becoming a well rounded athlete in body and mind, and his training reflects this.

My discussion with Tony focuses on the mental and physical benefits of fitness. Without both elements, the journey is less valuable and meaningful. Some of the topics we delve into include:

  • How Tony got immersed in the world of fitness
  • The early impact of fitness on both his body and mind
  • The development and evolution of the popular P90X training system
  • How Tony has continued to evolve alongside the fitness industry
  • Why consistency and flexibility are key to making fitness a lifelong practice
  • The importance of optimizing essentials like sleep, diet, and recovery as you get older

Tony's message is valuable and relatable for all athletes. Enjoy our discussion!
