[@rubenmolinar1035]

I saw Tony at Golds gym and he was doing these back and forth crawling on the staircase. Great shoulder and chest workout. I copy that workout to this day and still do AB ripper. “I hate it....but i love it”. Glad he’s better

[@ChrisGaultHealthyLiving]

Glad Tony is feeling better. He's inspired me to get and stay in the best shape of my life which is important since I'm only a couple of years away from 60. Thanks, Tony, and hope to see you at 100% soon!

[@stevenpeterson7234]

Tony Horton is one of my hero's. I love all of his P90X 1,2,3 work out videos. He's the guy I would love to meet in person. Since he's been doing P90X I've always want to workout with him some day.

[@JaviEnding]

Glad to see he's well again. Tony's a national treasure and had a very positive impact on my life.

[@JH-qt4cu]

He's 60?????

[@dawkinshater101]

i think thats what most people could look like at 60 if they ate a healthy diet and work out 5-6 times a week. most people look older than they are because of bad health decisions, like smoking, drinking, bad diet, sedentary.

[@Aritul]

I know! He looks amazing.

[@iouboxingfactz8381]

@Timothy Two Gun Thompson it's not just the hair dye his physique is more lean and complete them some 20 years old. Plus alot pf 60 yeae olds are not as vibrant and alert I think when we are suprised that he is 60 isnot just based on his look but his vibrance for life its rare

[@jazthing1]

This does not surprise me because 60 is not old. It's just that people don't take of themselves... don't workout or eat right and end up aging prematurely.

[@robertarbelo9695]

He and Hugh Jackman are my Heroes.🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@dustinweber1945]

I started my weight loss journey about 10 years ago with Tony's videos and went from 240 to 160lbs. Always kept me interested. Thanks Tony

[@LifeDIY]

Tony, you are my INSPIRATION to workout again after my health issues took over my life for far too many years. I had done P90x in 2011 - lost 12 lbs and 12 inches in 90 days and developed a nice set of abs which I never had before ever, even through my time in the military. My health problems still impact me now but I am modifying and doing P90x again - on week 2 now. It is not easy but it is so worth it. This program is incredible - even if it is from almost a decade ago. I am so incredibly inspired by Tony Horton as I didn't realize his actual age until recently - and my mind cannot fathom it! The only way I can live a similar way - being healthy as I age - is by working out now and basically forever. If anyone is thinking of doing his program, DO IT! Don't give up. Modify, shorten workouts as needed - just don't quit!

[@michaelsparks8632]

Wow, I had no idea. Like so many others, Tony had a huge impact on my life also. The best thing I ever did was order P90X way back when. I watched that commercial sooo many times and just couldn't bear spending that money (tough times). After diving in I have since bought every thing Tony has ever done probably and don't regret any of it. It literally saved my life, forever in your debt. Cheers Mate!

[@David-bg7ei]

"If you need a break just pause and when you're ready we'll be right here" looks like Tony took his own advice

[@leahw6354]

So glad he's doing better and look forward to hearing positive updates. I did p90x for years and now p90x3 is still my regular workout.

[@luckyfamilyman]

“Do your best forget the rest” Great job of applying that Tony, you the Man! 😎👍

Love Tony. 62 year old dude that got a 4-pack thanks to him and P90x. Tough to keep it up but still a great program and Tony was the best!

[@amallibeckham2726]

What a guy!! Most of us would not have come back from an illness like that. Wishing him nothing but the best of health. And looking forward to more awesome workout from Tony.

[@ab-bc2gr]

P90x is incredibly effective. I did it for a year (3 rounds), got in great shape at 53 (better than in my 20s) and then none for two years. Still in great shape. Starting it again at 56 to freshen up and maintain. Never lost my P90x base. Looked at his new product "High impact plant protein" ... Cant imagine ever paying $140 a month for two jars (15 days per jar) of this stuff. Pity it's so expensive - would help us oldies. Seems Tony has mostly recovered ... might see him up skiing one day.

[@captsomeguy1]

He's pretty active on his KZbin channel these days. Still teaching people how to do yoga and pull-ups, just like always.

[@ea_dreamz]

Awesome man! Keep pushing. I've hit play on p90x3 for 6 weeks now. Thanks for everything

[@BobPritchard]

I've been a P90x fan since it first came out - is that over 10 years?! My past regimen was to do P90x one day and then run the next with one day off a week. I ran 2 marathons a year. During intense training for the Boston Marathon I came down with shingles. OMG it hurts and in my case the intense pain was about 2 weeks and ongoing mid level pain for about 9 months. The doctors suggested the stress of marathon training lowered my immune system and made me vulnerable. At this point I no longer want to stress my body with marathoning but P90x is still a valued part of my program. The only P90x video that I avoid is the Jump Training/Plyometrics. That led to a herniated disk that required surgery. The surgeon said that at my age (I was in the mid 40's at the time), I shouldn't be stressing my spine in that way. The rest of the disks are great but I avoid Plymoetrics.

[@pasispeeders2117]

Shingles is no joke! My 97 yo Dad is recovering from Ramsay-Hunt Syndrome caused by Shingles. After hearing Tony's story, I'm surprised my Dad is still with us. He's still having nerve pain but, hopefully, will make a full recovery. Thanks for sharing your story Tony.

Here's how I almost lost it all: *Getting married* Anyway, if Tony's body wouldnt have been strong he likely wouldn't of survived his illness. I started P90X in 2011 around the time my divorce started. In a year I lost 40 pounds and had muscle and abs. I've slipped a couple years ago, but I've been back training for two months. Thanks Tony.
