Fight Against Government Flab

I love reading articles about people getting fit, it really excites me to see that the military has taken notice of the challenge that P90X program, which trainer Tony Horton, designed for Beachbody.  Tony Horton has worked with the military before, which I wrote about on this blog previously, he also travels around the globe to work with troops as seen here in this Stars and Stripes article written by Grant Okubo.

Reading the Wall Street Journal  article, written by Elizabeth Williamson and Patrick O’Connor, was very informative.  Learning that this program was used by and recommended to others by a Green Beret and a Navy SEAL, well that says a lot about the workout and how much it is appreciated.  A snippet from the article can be read below:

“Mr. Ryan started on P90X two years ago after two buddies—a Green Beret and a Navy SEAL—recommended it. Mr. McCarthy saw Mr. Ryan doing the workout and asked to join him, as did others. This fall, the new GOP in-crowd strutted its buff stuff on the campaign trail, waking hotel guests with the travel version of the workout—a frenzied mix of jumping, push-ups, pull-ups, weight training and 300 punishing abdominal moves.”

When I first came upon this program I felt the same way about workout DVD’s that Rep. Aaron Schock (R., Ill) was quoted as saying he felt; that they would be like the old style Jane Fonda workouts.  This isn’t the case, as a person who had spent a plenty of time in the gym, I was surprised at the level of workout I experienced the first time I used this program.  I have said it before, at my age and after years in the gym, I am in the best shape of my life and loving it.

I recommend this program wholeheartedly, when people ask me what I am doing to keep fit and in shape this is the best and easiest way to put someone on the right path.  The P90X workouts are easy to follow, the support you get with the online message boards is excellent, walk around wearing anything P90X related and people will suddenly strike up a conversation with you.  This program is on the tip of everyone’s tongue; they are either doing the program, wanting to do the program or know someone who has had amazing results from the program.
