Tony Horton’s 10-Minute Training program is a BeachBody product that you may have seen on TV. BeachBody also makes the extremely popular P90X (review here) and several other fitness trainer DVD programs that you’ve probably seen on infomercials.
The cost of Tony’s Ten-Minute Trainer program is about $85 (cheapest here on Amazon.com) and you get a couple of resistance bands, a workout calendar, guidebook, recipe book, and four ten-minute workouts including: Total Body workout, Lower Body workout, Cardio workout and the Yoga Flex workout – all designed to be your blood pumping and muscles working within a ten-minute time frame.
There are ups and downs to the product.
On the up-side, you really can get a good workout in only ten minutes if you do it every single day. Getting your heart pumping and your metabolism burning helps you burn more calories and have more energy throughout the entire day – not just thouse ten minutes.
On the down-side, it takes a lot of room to do most of the exercises in this program so don’t expect to be able to workout in a small living room without moving around some furniture. Also, don’t expect to get a great workout if you’ve already been active and exercises for years.
Overall, it is a great product for people who have been leading sedentary lifestyles and who want to get into better shape on limited time and a limited budget. It is very convenient and easy to get into – much easier and more convenient (and cost effective) than joining a gym. However, you will outgrow this ten-minute workout routine within three months and will be ready for something more challenging.
We advise fitness newcommers to get something like Tony Horton’s Ten Minute Trainer Program to get started, but if you’re already getting into the gym, running or doing other activities a few times every week this product isn’t for you. A more challenging BeachBody’s fitness program is the P90X DVDs, which you may have also seen on TV, also one of the First Page FItness product reviews.
