Tony Horton shares fitness techniques

(FOX Providence) - Living a healthy lifestyle is one of the best things you can do for yourself. Your diet is one component to get you on the right path, the other is exercise! No one knows more about fitness than P90X creator Tony Horton . Horton joined The Rhode with some of his techniques to get in shape!

Tony is known for helping people get fit all over the world by keeping them motivated in health, physique, and lifestyle. Over the last 17 years Tony has acquired, perfected, and shared his fitness expertise with countless individuals across America. From professional athletes, sports teams, television and major movie stars, recording artists to the average American, Tony has helped people turn their lives around with the perfect mix of encouragement, humor, discipline and fun.

While on The Rhode Show Horton demonstrated a series of four exercises, that he says should be done in order to achieve optimal benefits. The first one is a "push-up side balance crunch" that works your core muscles. Horton recommends 10-15 repetitions. Next is a "freeze sprint" that targets your core and helps strengthen your balance. The "freeze sprint" is followed by an exercise called "motorboat" that intensely works your abdominal muscles through a series of open and closed leg motions. Finally, Horton finishes up the circuit routine with "spiderman squats", an exercise that will have you looking like a super-hero in no time!

You can check out these exercises and more with Horton tonight. He has a free workshop at The University of Rhode Island at 7pm. He'll also talk about his new book "Bring It" .
