BIG PIC

Tony is the perfect mix of fitness, health, fun, determination and knowledge. I have done three of his workout programs over the past decade and he is the only trainer that I'll really listen to during the workouts. I found myself searching for quotes from the workout series and never considered reading his books. I believe things happen for a reason and this happened to be the best time in my life to read and absorb this book. Tony dives into solutions to problems that most people don't realize they have. Because of Tony's approach to fitness and health, he reached me like nobody else has (first through his workouts). To be able to hear these laws from the man himself in a book vs an hour sweat session fulfills me. Tony gets it and this book will help you get it, too. I suggest getting a notebook and taking notes throughout the chapters to thoroughly contemplate the message that he is trying to convey. Thank you, Tony!

I really enjoyed this book, but to be honest, I was already a huge Tony Horton fan. This book was very motivating for me and when life got in the way and my workouts took a back seat, reading this book helped me refocus my mind set and get me back on track to achieving the goals I had set for myself and tweaking or re-establishing new ones. This book is not just about health and fitness, but is written to assist in all aspects of your life. There are some very interesting insights into Tony’s own life and how his philosophies relate to his own success. I think this makes it easier to relate than some self-help / motivational books out there. Having previously completed P90X I recognized many of the one-liners that I hear regularly during the workouts, it was interesting to have many of these one-liners placed in perspective and to hear some of the origins behind Tony’s mindset. The passion and devotion he brings to the table is to be admired, if everybody attacked there lives with the same amount of passion we would have many more successful people. I still have a long way to get to my goals, but whenever I need a pick-me-up and a little extra motivation, I know that I can re-read this book and it will help me get right back on track. Overall I would highly recommend this book to anyone needing some additional motivation to not only get fit and healthy but to also provide some inspiration to achieve your goals and be successful in life in general.

I've been a fan of Tony Horton since Power 90, P90x, and now am half way through P90X3. When I saw this book announced on Facebook, I downloaded it to my kindle and finished reading it within a few hours.The structure of the book is about Tony's "11 Laws," more like the principles he recommends for a better life. It isn't too in depth, more like a roadmap than a detailed guide. Nothing he said surprised me-- it certainly sounded like Tony. You'll recognize some of his one liners from the DVDs (for example a whole chapter on "do your best, forget the rest"), and some other insight on how is attitude toward yoga evolved. Also interesting is insight such as how he developed these programs for "in home" use (he was a trainer to Hollywood/music stars; they can't go to the gym or go for a run around the block -- they have to work out in their living room!).This book is definitely centered around fitness, and reads almost like a beefy intro you might read before opening the plastic on a DVD to get you motivated -- with perspective and balance.Overall, it was an interesting and easy read, filling in and adding color to what we thought we already knew about Tony.

I got this book because I wanted to learn more about the man who created P90X. It was a program I was going to do at home since Covid-19 closed the gyms. You learn a lot about how Tony thinks. How P90X came to be and how to be successful both in and out of the gym.I've read this twice. Once to read it and then once to really get the information from its pages. (Read w/a highlighter!)

I started P90X well over a decade ago and worked through all of the sequels. I'm a Tony fan and after months of hearing the same cheesy jokes over and over again still never got tired of them. All of that said, this book was more than I expected. It was easy to read and yet packed with some great insights that expand beyond fitness. Would definitely recommend.

Love Tony Horton. Have done three rounds of p90x and finishing first p90x3. Had to purchase the book. Much of his philosophy is integrated into the videos and the Beachbody website. But was nice to have it contained in print to copy and refer back to.Sometimes a bit repetitive. Also think that much of it might be preaching to the choir. Chances are if you've done any of his programs, you are already using his laws. But for those who are considering taking the plunge and trying out the programs...I think this is a great way to know Tony and understand the thinking behind the way he works out.Five years ago I had two herniated disks in my back and was advised by three surgeons to have spinal fusion or surgery. The fourth told me to work on strengthening my core with something like p90x. I took his advice and went from missing two weeks of work on a couch popping pills to three rounds completed and loving every day! Good stuff.

This book is a great, easy read for those who are looking for some ideas to help guide them in their search of becoming a better, fitter person. Tony lays out simple ideas to follow that make sense, aren't too philosophical, and can be put into action by anyone.If you are a person who believes that fitness and being healthy aren't a priority than this book will be a waste of your time. Tony is in the fitness business and his ideas for becoming a better, more successful person are based around living a healthy lifestyle.If you are too lazy to want to change your life or would rather complain about how you look or feel than do something about you won't get much from this book. However, if you value your health and want to better your life and the lives of those around you, this book has great insight into how you can use practical ideas and implement them into your everyday thinking.Great advice Tony. Keep doing your thing!

I enjoyed Tonys book and like him as motivator as I have used everybody products for a number of years and Tony H and Shaun T have helped me stay fit . The only issue i have as I am of similar age to Tony in the book , is i can't recommend exercising at least 6 days out of seven as Tony stated in his book not for a 55 year old anyway . I think this would be hard on most men of similar age. Plus reading between the lines i am not sure if he has any heavy family commitments which does make a difference as it written from a single man's perspective . A good book but a bit out of touch with reality from my point of view.

Book finished in 2 days.When I started P90X there's no way I thought I'd be buying his book. I couldn't abide Tony Horton.That is until I started actually doing the workouts. I think if you just watch them to get a feel then the only thing you're concentrating on is the spoken words from the TV, and probably subconsciously treating it like a TV show.But when you're training, your focus shifts to where it's meant to be and Tony then becomes fantastic.The book is a great addition to P90x and everything in it just clicks and makes sense.Highly recommend.

You either love or hate Tony.I love him and his enthusiasm and have done P90x, P90x2 and P90x3.If you like those and Tony’s approach to life, you’ll enjoy this book.

Easy read

Get this book. Read it and be inspired. It's also quite funny. I did laugh out loud at some parts...Tony is a funny guy ☺
