DVD review: 10-Minute Trainer or P90X -- which Tony Horton workout is for you?

Sure it's an infomercial but there's something about those P90X  commercials that suck me in every time. Perhaps it's the transformations, the motivation. Perhaps it's Tony Horton, the hunky 50ish personal trainer who leads the charge.

But there's no way on Earth that I'm ready for that level of workout. So when Beachbody came out with Tony Horton's 10-Minute Trainer I was thrilled that I could work out with Tony at a lower level.

But 10-Minute Trainer's lower level is still a butt-kicking workout. It's just done 10 minutes at a time so you can see the end of the tunnel with the countdown clock.

I did the Total Body workout and I can't believe how sore I am today. It's a blend of push-ups, crunches and resistance band moves that I sandwiched into the warm-up and cooldown segments. Tony and his workout partners show you modifications but there are no sissy moves here. The key to making the segments so effective is that these are compound moves. While you're working your arms, you're also working your core, your glutes and everything else.

There also are 10-minute segments devoted to abs, cardio, lower body and yoga flex (power yoga, something Tony's especially good at). The set includes a resistance band, a 10-day diet and recipe cards.

Once you have become a muscular, lean machine, you can try Beachbody'sP90X system. The set of DVDs is packaged in a sleek black brick and feature a dozen workouts including core, yoga, plyo, legs and back, chest and back, abs, cardio and lots more. The industrial set features Tony and his workout buddies laughing it up while working out HARD. You also get a great comprehensive nutrition plan designed by Carrie Wiatt, probably the best nutrition plan I've ever seen packaged with a DVD set.
