Video link: "This is the P90X for gals" says Tony Horton

I will apologize in advance that I wasn't able to sit through the whole thing. Dr. Pelz' voice is like nails on a chalkboard. It's long and you could put it on 1.5X speed to get through it faster.

The PERFECT WORKOUT PLAN | PowerSync 60™ Program with Tony Horton and Dr. Mindy Pelz

The workouts are tailored to a woman's menstrual cycle.

I'm currently doing a modified version of (the guy's) P90X. I love the workouts, but Tony gets on my nerves.

ETA: I found a free PowerSync 60 workout. It has the dreaded white set.

If anyone tries this system, let us know your thoughts.

I am so used to youtube workouts with timers and % completion with no nonsense talk. It's hard for me to go back to the old days. I timed the shoulders and arms workout -- one rest time was 80 sec with 30 sec of work in between (wide curl and oh tricep extension). I just cant' handle that

And here I was thinking P90X was the P90X for gals. 🙄

You, me, and all the women who appeared in the videos and the testimonials.

Yeah. What the?

There's a reason P90X has the "Less Tony" option!

After menopause, you become invisible. So, why work out? {rolleyes}

Hahahahaha.

Does it come with a cycle tracker and a little pink diary, too?

They might be very good workouts, but this seems pretty gimmicky to me.

And don't forget Tony's skin care line.

TH Care

I don't think you have to be hormonal to use it.

He teamed up with Mindy Pelz??? Wow that is a .... choice.

I once joined her FB page because someone had recommended her. Here was me reading some of the ideas she and her "followers" espouse -------->

To say she embraces pseudoscience is an understatement
