Tony Horton Goes to Washington . . .

First, the House of Representatives does P90X®!

It's true. Our very own, uber-fit celeb trainer led fifteen Members and staffers of the House of Representatives through a heart-pumping, hour-long "X"-treme workout.

The Reps, including Loretta Sanchez (D-Calif.), Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) and Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), Heath Shuler (D-N.C.) and Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), impressed Tony, who commented, "If you have a fit Congressman, a healthy Congressman, a flexible Congressman—maybe it's a bit far-fetched, but—maybe we'd have a more efficient Congress."

Tony also shared ideas with Members, including Senator Jack Reed (D-R.I.)—from Tony's home state and who's a member of the Armed Services and Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions committees—about how P90X® is a great fit for the military and how overall fitness should be part of health-care reform.

It absolutely should be a part of the overall Health Care Reform. You should get breaks on your insurance if you are doing such programs as P90X as a preventative measure and keeping yourself fit and healthy.

I also agree with the fact that Military should be trying to incorporate P90X into it's physical fitness programs. Being a prior Service Member myself I can tell you that P90X would be nothing but a benefit to a Service Members fitness training.

Way to go Tony!
