PowerStands

An Overview: Tony Horton’s PowerStands®

There are many accessories available for the Power 90, P90X, P90X +, and P90X2 programs. If you are able to purchase them all, that’s great! Your home gym will be outfitted to deliver amazing results. If not, however, researching all of the available options will help you understand which accessories would benefit you the most and help you achieve the results you are looking for. Tony Horton’s PowerStands® are just one such option. Made by Beachbody and designed by Horton, these tools are a great way to tone your arms and chest without unnecessary strain on your wrists.

Less Stress on Your Wrists

Tony Horton’s PowerStands® were designed to help you get the most out of your push up workouts. The pushup is a classic exercise move, one that doesn’t only tone your arms and chest, but also works your core. It is used by athletes and fitness novices alike because of its simplicity and effectiveness. You can do pushups without any equipment, just you and the floor. But sometimes traditional push-ups can put stress and strain on your wrists. The PowerStands eliminate this by delivering ergonomic design specifically made to perfect your form and reduce pressure on the wrists.

Greater Range of Motion

When you do a traditional push-up, you may only get down so far. Of course, part of this could be due to your arm and chest strength. But the other part is because your face hits the floor. With the Tony Horton’s PowerStands®, you are given a greater range of motion as it lifts you further off the ground. This increases the potential productivity of your workout. Greater range of motion means you can go deeper into each exercise, getting more bang for your push-up buck!

Quality Construction

The Tony Horton’s PowerStands® are made with high quality materials and build to last. They have a non-skid base to ensure you are completely safe while using them. There are comfort foam grips to make them as comfortable as possible. They are used on the P90X program by Tony Horton, evidence that they are a great addition to your workouts.

Push-Ups with PowerStands® are Even Better!

Pushups are great, but when you add something that makes them even more productive and safer, they become even better. The Tony Horton’s PowerStands® are able to take something that is already a crucial aspect of any fitness program and elevate it to another level.

PowerStands: How to Make the Single Best Workout Move Even Better

PowerStands by Tony Horton

People have been doing pushups for decades. The term push-up was first used in American English back in the early 1900s. But the move itself had likely been used before then. According to Wikipedia, some lizards actually do pushups to attract mates! And really, lizards don’t have to be the only ones using these classic moves to get their sexy on. Pushups (in my humble opinion) are the single best workout move ever. And while part of the beauty of pushups is that you don’t need any equipment, there are tools that can make this classic exercise even more productive.

What Makes a Push-Up So Great? There are few exercises that allow you to tone and tighten so many muscle groups in a single move. Think about it—when you do a pushup, you contract every muscle from the flex of your toes to your straight neck. Everything is firm and taut during a pushup. Of course you are working your arms and chest, that’s obvious. But push-ups are really an excellent core workout too. Perhaps the most common core move, the plank, is simply a still push-up.

So How Can a Push-Up be Better? Well if a push up is excellent, finding a way to take them even deeper would only make them better. And although the risk of injury during a push up workout is pretty small, if you could find a tool that would reduce strain on your wrists, it would be nearly perfect. PowerStands do both of these, allowing you to take your push ups deeper while protecting the wrists from strain.

PowerStands were developed by Tony Horton. Yes, the same Tony Horton of P90X and Ten Minute Trainer fame. He recognizes the beauty of the push up (and the pull up), just check out the P90X workouts and you’ll see. But he wanted to improve upon an already great thing, and he did.

The PowerStands Push Up Bars we offer here are made of heavy duty steel. They also have a nonskid base to make them completely safe and secure. Foam grips and an angled handle make them easy on the hands and wrists. They are designed to be purely functional and to improve the already-great pushup workout.

Push-ups are an excellent exercise with tools or without. But if you’re the type of person that likes to have the best in fitness gear in order to truly max out your results, the PowerStands are perfect for you!

P90X: Get Remotivated!

man_weightThe holidays are over and the New Year is upon us. Your P90X resolve may have dissolved over the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays and now you are looking for a way to get remotivated for P90X. While having motivation is great and it certainly helps the intensity of your workouts, one of the major points that must be learned in order for any fitness program to last is that motivation is not necessary. Having said that, it is a bonus and having it can make you feel better about a workout.

 

If P90X is your workout of choice and you are looking for a way to get remotivated, consider simply watching one of the infomercials from Beach Body. These infomercials are designed to sell the product and they may have had something to do with your decision to purchase P90X in the first place. If this is the case, then watching them again can serve to get some of that initial excitement back once again.

 

Also, take a look at the many P90X blogs online. User reviews and transformation stories can always do a good job of piquing your interest in the program again. Before and after photos as well as videos of progress can serve as a great reminder of why you started P90X in the first place.

 

To get remotivated for P90X, consider setting yourself up with some incentives. Been eyeing the PowerStands for a while? Promise yourself you’ll get them after you get through 30 days. Or think about a new outfit in a smaller size as a reward for your hard work. Call it bribery if you wish but the end results are extremely positive.

 

While being motivated to work out is good, try and remember that motivation is optional. The greatest athletes work out even when they are far from motivated. The key difference between a dedicated fitness enthusiast and anyone else is their realization that working out requires more consistent dedication than it does motivation.
