Ten Minute Workout

There is no doubt at all that Tony Horton is a legend when it comes to home training fitness regimes. The popular Power 90 and P90X training programs were his brainchild. But he has many other fitness programs to his name, one of which is the 10 Minute Trainer.

This fitness program is exactly as it’s title claims. It’s a training routine designed for a 10 minute workout every day. It was created with busy professionals in mind, people who feel guilt about finding the time needed to work out every day. This short 10 minute program condenses a lot of effective workouts into simple 10 minute bursts of exercise. Read More →
