David Carlton lost over 50 pounds and significantly improved his fitness levels and physical abilities by completing the P90X workout program over several months. He went from 260 pounds to 215 pounds with less body fat, and saw improvements in his waistline, midsection, arms, flexibility, endurance, and elimination of back and knee pain. He credits trainer Tony Horton and the intensive 5 day per week workout regimen for his results. He is now starting the next even more challenging phase of the program to continue improving his overall fitness and sports performance.

7. Increased Cardio –
Running 4 to 5 miles a few times per week…for fun =)
Increased Endurance –
100 push-ups without stopping (couldn’t even do that in the
Army)! During one P90X workout – did 270 push-ups
(variety) within 40 min.
Increased flexibility and joint mobility
Solved problems of chronic back and knee pains (from weak
core strength and joint flexibility).
8. Tony Horton –
◦ Trainer and developer of all of the workouts I’ve
done (and he’s in his 50’s…so no excuses about
being too old!)
9. What‘s Next?
•Finished the first week of this program…and it’s tougher than the last.
•Weight training + balance + isolation + flexibility + intensity = even
better results
•5 day per week workout instead of 6 days (and Yoga is 1hr instead
of 1 ½ hrs Yea)
•More focus on sports performance and overall fitness
10. To friends and family that encouraged me
and put up with my food and exercise priority
changes. Some even changed with me!
You have to be somewhat selfish to make this
kind of change in your life…but you can’t do
it alone (or at least I wouldn’t want to try)!
