Tony Horton Kicks Off Fundraiser Event for the Trumbull High School Athletic Department

    TOPANGA, CA, July 20, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Fitness trainer Tony Horton, creator of "P90X Extreme Training System," will lead an open workout and live fitness seminar Saturday, September 17, 2011, at Trumbull High School.

Come join in an open workout with Tony Horton to raise funds to benefit the THS Athletic Fund, tickets are $45 dollars. "Tony Horton has become an internationally recognized fitness expert and the Town of Trumbull is fortunate to call him a native son," stated Trumbull First Selectman Timothy M. Herbst. "As someone who is currently engaged in the P90X exercise program, I am thrilled that Tony is coming to Trumbull on September 17th to help support and raise money for the Trumbull athletic program. I look forward to welcoming Tony back to his hometown."

THS has a "play to pay" program where students pay a fee to participate in sports. Over the years there have been increases in these fees, so it makes it harder for students to participate in sports. One area that's been hardest hit has been equipment. Any donation made to the program will help the school purchase items such as soccer and field goal posts, which are hard to get with our current budget.

Come out and Meet Tony Horton, the master behind the best selling fitness program in America P90X . Tony helps 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. "I'm thrilled that I can come back to my home town, share what I know about health and fitness and help raise needed funds for students and athletes at Trumbull High School," said Tony.

Tony is looking forward to working out in his home town, followed by a one hour Q&A all while helping participants incorporate more fitness and motivation into their lives. "It will be a day for Trumbullites to come together and see first hand how he makes exercising fun, and to get his tips on health and fitness. Tony has helped not only me - but thousands of people get healthy and fit," said organizer and THS graduate Anne Fers. His P90X DVD's emphasize "muscle confusion," a method of cross training and periodization achieved through switching the order of exercises and incorporating new and varied movements. Muscle confusion supposedly prevents the body from adapting to exercises over time, resulting in continual improvement without plateaus.

Doors open at 8 a.m. and the event starts promptly at 9 a.m. with an open workout, 11:00 a.m. - 11:45 Fitness Seminar by Tony and then at 12:00 p.m. Free Photos with Tony by Professional onsite photographer. There will be no cameras aloud at the event.
