Some Ideas on the Best Way To Approach Ten Minute Trainer with Tony Horton to Get Best Results

Over the last couple weeks, my research for a series of articles on the most popular fitness programs from Beachbody.com has taken me to the Tony Horton Ten Minute Workout known as “10 Minute Trainer”.

What I wanted to find was some tips and strategies to maximize the workout. Mainly, I fell in love with the concept of what the Tony Horton 10 minute workout represented.  The idea that you could get in and get out in that amount of time and still get a workout that had much of the same effects as P90X is too attractive to ignore. 

I am a P90X graduate myself and I know first-hand what the workout can do.  Tony Horton to me  is the best trainer out there because it is all about results and he knows how to achieve them the quickest way possible. This approach makes great sense because from an economic point of view, your survival and abundance of sales depends on customer satisfaction and word of mouth.  

With the Tony Horton 10 minute workout “10 Minute Trainer” there is a general sense that it is competing against lofty prestige of P90X. How does a person get those results or something close to them? How does a person maximize the Tony Horton 10 minute workout?

To start with, it is important to maintain perspective on what 10 Minute Trainer is capable of. You will not get equivalent results to P90X in 90 days or less. At the same time, both workouts have a foundation in the same basic principles: muscle confusion to keep your body off balance and changing, expert instruction during the workout to maintain good technique and a well thought-out and tested schedule.

To maximize 10 minute trainer, consider the following strategies:

--Do your first workout before you eat in the morning. The workouts are short enough, that no fueling is necessary. This will help speed up your metabolism.

--Consider doing multiple workouts in a day. More is better with workouts this short. You don’t necessarily have to do them stacked consecutively though.

--Keep careful track of each experience. Right when you cool down after  a workout, take 5 minutes or so and review your performance in each exercise and make notes. Look for ways to modify to make it harder or to help you achieve better form the next time.  Put an emphasis on incremental improvement in degree of effort or form in each session.
