Tony Horton Workout and Diet

Of course Horton recommends P90X, but he’s got plenty of other workouts up his sleeve.

Do 10 reps per set. No rests between sets. Repeat entire circuit 1-2 times. It should take about 30 minutes. Do this routine 4x per week for the first 2 weeks, then up it to 5x per week for 2 weeks. If the exercises are too difficult at first, decrease the range of motion and/or do fewer reps.

You’ll need a mat for some of these exercises.
