Home Exercise Equipment: Waste of Money or Worth the Investment?

Turn on the television at any given time and chances are you will see a paid advertisement for the hottest new home exercise equipment. Often it only takes 15 minutes of these high power ads to have us nearly convinced that we need to invest in a large piece of hardware in order to get fit away from the gym. While a large piece of workout equipment can help you get fit, it is far from necessary. Many of us who have purchased home exercise equipment know that we never really stay dedicated to it long enough to make it worth the investment or the space it takes up. Often it ends up gathering dust or dirty laundry in some seldom seen corner of the house.
 
If you are willing to invest sometimes thousands of dollars into a large piece of home exercise equipment, you should be able to justify spending a fraction of the cost on something that you are more likely to stick with and that can multiply your results. P90X is just that item. With P90X, you become the home exercise equipment. With just a few small tools and your own body, you can transform your appearance without having to assemble a thing.

Many people who invest in home exercise equipment think that by investing a large sum, they are guaranteeing big results. This is not always the case. In order to see big changes in your body, you have to work and work hard. Trainer Tony Horton know the power of hard work and is certain to teach you about it through the 12 DVD workouts included in P90X.

You certainly can’t pack up a home gym when you go on a business trip or vacation, but you can pack a P90X DVD to ensure that nothing will stand in the way of the hard body you are after. Home exercise equipment is made to replace gym equipment. P90X is made to improve on the results you could get at a gym.

The next time you are up late and watching paid advertisements, feeling the lure of a giant piece of home exercise equipment, consider this: you are likely to spend 10 times as much on a large piece of workout equipment than you would on the entire P90X series. You will see bigger results and be more likely to stick with the P90X program, with the motivating assistance of Tony Horton. The P90X series is totally portable and does not take up an entire room of your home. Finally, P90X will push your body to places it has likely never seen before, multiplying not only your physical results, but your confidence and improving your overall health and attitude.

Who Is Tony Horton?

When you see someone like Tony Horton in action you immediately assume that he has great pre-disposition for a buff body. You might be quick to think that “bringing it” has always come easy for Tony. The truth is that Tony Horton had to work for that beach body just like the rest of us. Like many kids, Tony grew up loving fast food and dreading exercise. Horton was a typical bony “weakling” and probably never thought he would bring a fitness phenomenon like Power 90 or P90X to the world. Not even interested in sports, being a fitness icon was never at the front of Horton’s mind.
 
One thing Tony did like was acting, so no one was surprised when Horton moved to Los Angeles to pursue his dream after graduating from the University of Rhode Island. He quickly realized in Los Angeles, it pays to be fit. That’s when Tony’s quest for fitness began. Horton joined the famous World Gym in Venice and began transforming his body. Studious by nature, Tony read books and asked questions of the pros at the gym gaining insight into what would one day become his own claim to fame.

Preferring a lean strong look to the stiff compact body builder image, Tony Horton stuck to activities that would improve his cardiovascular fitness while giving him the flexible streamlined but muscular look he desired. As Tony transformed his body dramatically, he also started transforming his life and outlook. People noticed!

It was the attention Horton got from his personal transformation that led him to become a sought after personal trainer. Tony Horton has trained celebrities such as Sean Connery, Tom Petty, and Shirley MacLaine, to name a few. His on camera work began when he represented the face of the Nordic Track in the late 1990s. Following that he transformed the cast of the action film The 13th Warrior, creating bodies worthy of the “warrior” title.

Amidst all of the attention, Tony met Carl Daikeler, CEO of Beachbody. The two immediately recognized the potential for a life changing relationship and joined forces. Since that time, Tony Horton, has gone on to create some of the most successful at home fitness programs available. 

 

Power 90: The first in the P90 series, Power 90 Boot Camp brought easy to incorporate but high powered 30 minute workouts to people craving better health around the world.

Taking what changed his life, combining his winning attitude and the dream that propels all of the products that carry the Tony Horton name, Tony has become the face that thousands associate with their fitness success.
