Tony Horton is everywhere. POLITICO’s Patrick Gavin recently stood up with Tony and talked to him about P90X, the workout program taking Capitol Hill by storm.
“It all started with Heath Shuler and Paul Ryan,” said Horton. “They’d go into the congressional gym, and they were doing P90X while everybody else was sitting on the elliptical or treadmill or working with a trainer. … For most folks, all you need is a pull-up bar and a floor and a couple of dumbbells or bands. … There’s so much pressure in this town, so it’s a form of release other than a couple of cocktails at lunch.”
And who’s the the toughest member of congress?
Horton wouldn’t weigh in on which political client is the most in shape, but he gave some hints.
“I gotta say, Sen. [John] Thune is tough. Aaron Schock is strong. Paul Ryan is another one. Kevin McCarthy, he’s not ripped necessarily, but he works really hard. … He looks good in a suit, and he feels better.”
