My workout with Tony Horton at Wide World of Sports during WDW Marathon Weekend

[ptaylor]

What a great Expo this year - Tony Horton (P90X) held a workout on Thursday (and again today). Sign up was at a tent near the front of the complex, and the actual workout was on one of the sports fields behind the buildings.

What a great experience. Tony is EXACTLY like he is in P90X. Very motivational, shows how the moves are done, and always entertaining.

I hadn't planned on doing an intense 1.5 hour workout at the Expo, but really glad I signed up. There were only about 40 of us, and the workout was a mix of P90X and P90X2.

It was a real honor to be able to workout with the man. Thanks Disney and Tony Horton for a great experience!

My husband was quite jealous to hear this! We did the marathon last year and hope to do it again in 2013. Hope he is there next year!

Yep, same, it sure was a lot of fun!!! Glad I heard about it, because I didn't see it advertised anywhere.

Tony is a bad . I like him and wish I could have been there.

I don't know if Disney booked Tony at the last minute, but it seemed like they announced him being there only a day or two before Marathon Weekend started. I was down in the area for work, and the half too, but if I had advanced notice I would have surely changed my work schedule around to make one of the two workouts. I'm not trying to be negative here but I really think they would have had a better turnout with more notice . . . but again, they might have booked him last minute. :shrug:

My theory is that they didn't want too big a turn out. If they had given much more notice it would have been full of locals and the runners would have been shut out. I'm sure there are thousands of beach body coaches in central Florida. It could have been absolute chaos!

I thought about doing it, but I didn't want a huge workout the day before the half. Something about that screamed "bad idea" in my head. It's enough of a toll on the body to be out in the parks the day before a race, much less do a P90X style workout. If it'd been like a good stretch session or yoga, I might have tried it out...

I am glad to see he showed up to lead the crowd in stretches prior to the 1/2 though.

Not at all interested in Tony Horton, but I did hang out for quite a while with Ryan & Trista Sutter...very cool & down to earth. Quite an athlete in his own right.
