He had just finished running his first test group through P90X, and he told me all about the program. Tony’s and my personalities just clicked, and we became fast friends. Not long after, P90X came out and I was among the first 100 beach body customers to go through P90X (which gave me some incredible results).

While at the 2009 Grammy Awards in February, singer and songwriter Sheryl Crow was caught on the red carpet talking about her workout regimen with E! presenter Giuliana Rancic.  Sheryl was asked what she does to stay in shape, and she replied,

“I used to be a runner, I used to run all the time, but since Wyatt (her son) came, I’ve gotten kind of lax about it.”  She continues, “Recently, a friend turned me on to this P90X, it’s a workout series—it’s ninety days. It’s every different kind of muscle group—Pilates and yoga and weightlifting too…It’s just everything!”

P90X is a system of 12 sweat-inducing and muscle-burning DVD workouts that are to transform your ‘normal’ body into a ripped up and toned machine in 90 days.  Exercises include plyometrics, yoga, Kenpo (type of martial arts) and weight training. There is a three-phase nutrition plan, supplement options, an accompanying fitness guide, calendar and even online support with the celebrity trainer, Tony Horton.  The exercise program is to be followed six days a week through out the 90 days.
