Tony leads off with something everyone's familiar with: This session consists of 12 different moves, alternating between chest exercises and back exercises.
The workout begins in earnest after a short break. And some experts say that stretching isn't necessary at all.) ( Dynamic stretching's better for you than static stretching. (Trust me: The static and ballistic stretches that Tony introduces in P90X - even the interminable round of arm circles - are a piece of cake compared with the crazy-intense warm-up moves in most Insanity workouts.)īy the way, if you're short on time, you might want to consider skipping some of the static stretches, and focusing instead on the ballistic moves. Wait a second - could it be that I'm actually starting to like this guy? Ohmygod, I do!"Īfter getting over the initial shock of learning that you're going to be spending 60 to 90 minutes a day - for three months - with this guy, you start with some light warm-up exercises. ACCEPTANCE: "Wow! P90X works! I guess Tony's not such a douchebag after all.I just want to crawl back into bed and go to sleep." DEPRESSION: "Oh, God, please end my suffering.If Tony can deliver actual results, I'll put up with him for another few weeks." ANGER: "Stop with the fucking jokes, you asshole! Shut up shut up shut up!".It's odd, but Kübler-Ross's Five Stages of Grief can be applied to my reaction to Tony Horton: But my first impression of Tony - especially when I was just starting out and cursing his name after each set of increasingly challenging exercises - was that he was a smug douchebag who: (1) thought he was funnier than he actually was (2) spent more time showing off than providing proper exercise instruction and (3) needed to shut up once in a while. I'm sure Tony strikes some folks as charming, funny and charismatic.
