P90X Creator Tony Horton on Covid-19, Staying Healthy During Quarantine, Boosting Immunity, & More
Description
Tony Horton is a legend and the most influential name in the world of health & fitness. He’s the creator of the P90X at-home extreme fitness series, he’s a motivational speaker, a bestselling author, he’s been on countless television programs, he’s traveled the world training hundreds of thousands of people…
...and he’s stuck at home just like you and me.
I am extremely fortunate to say that over the last two and half years of pursuing my own personal goal of becoming an American Ninja Warrior, Tony has become my mentor and friend. And today’s conversation is simply two guys chatting about how to better manage the mental and physical stress that comes from living through a global pandemic.
If you logically understand that focusing on your fitness, diet, and health are more important now than ever...but emotionally you’re struggling to find the motivation to exercise without your workout buddies, or you’re stress eating, or you don’t like working out at home, or you’re distracted by family, or you find it nearly impossible to maintain any level of consistency...Tony is here to help you get back on track.
And remember when all else fails...do your best...and forget the rest!
