Last year I wrote a post on Jack LaLanne and how he was a staple in many healthy households of the 70's and 80's, promoting good eating choices and daily physical activity. Part of Jack's approach was that everything we need for health and wellness is well within our grasp - we don't need a gym membership or a weight/calorie tracking prepared-food service or even a tread mill in the basement. All we need is conviction and some good guidance.
Thankfully, some things never change - and there are great resources readily available regarding in-home workouts. Have you heard of P90? P90X? Or Tony Horton? Well, you have now... Tony, at 56 years young, is relevant, engaged and vibrant, and subscribes to very much the same health and wellness philosophy as Jack LaLanne: Everything we need for great wellness is right at our fingertips. Having been a personal trainer to movie moguls and stars in California, Tony has gone on to create a whole genre of workout videos and resources. He has been featured in numerous national publications, news programs, and on all the national networks. Learn more about Tony's background and accomplishments from his website or Wikipedia. He has a great YouTube Channel, with lots of cool videos as well. Check out the one about him here.
What I like about Jack LaLanne and Tony Horton is that I can relate to them. They come off as regular guys, even if they are actually exceptional and do awesome stuff. Nonetheless, I can relate. I just want wellness to be a key part of my life. I'm into healthy eating and having my days full of activity (physical, social, spiritual, community and beyond.) And when I look at what guys like these are promoting, I see many of the same things.
I haven't yet subscribed to P90X or a new release of a simpler, more user-friendly version, P90, but maybe it's time. Maybe you're at the point of getting some great guidance from resource like P90... take a look, and maybe you'll get the bug to jump in.
By the Way
Have you heard of Beachbody? This infomercial-producing corporation thrives on the very kind of resources Tony Horton produces. Some of their best-selling workouts are the P90X and P90 series. Joining Tony are others like Shaun Thompson (with his T25 and Insanity workouts), and Chalene Johnson. If P90 isn't quite for you, maybe there are other Beachbody resources that would fit (pun intended.)
