Kennett Square, PA My name is Tony Ventura. I have a lovely wife and have two wonderful sons. We live in Kennett Square, PA. I am 59 years old, 5'10", was @220 lbs, and trying to get back to 185 lbs. When I get back in shape, with the help and guidance of Team Beachbody, P90X, and INSANITY, I want to resume Judo, something I did when I was a teenager, and hopefully attain my black belt. The next Judo My name is Tony Ventura. I have a lovely wife and have two wonderful sons. We live in Kennett Square, PA. I am 59 years old, 5'10", was @220 lbs, and trying to get back to 185 lbs. When I get back in shape, with the help and guidance of Team Beachbody, P90X, and INSANITY, I want to resume Judo, something I did when I was a teenager, and hopefully attain my black belt. The next Judo promotional test will be for black belt, so it is definitely within reach. At 216 or so lbs, I am fighting myself because I am so out of shape.
Musically speaking...
I am a Delaware native and graduate of the Philadelphia Musical Academy, and most recently, Capella University (M.S.) and have toured extensively throughout the United States, Europe and China, performing as lead guitarist for such artists as Ben Vereen, Sammy Davis Jr., Melba Moore, Jimmy Darrin and Mitzi Gaynor. These performances also included television appearances on The Johnny Carson Show, with Phil Donahue, Mike Douglas, Merv Griffin and Sammy Davis in Acapulco. In addition to touring, I have done numerous recording sessions in the Philadelphia, New York and Los Angeles areas.
At present, I am highly involved with the advancement of a master’s project (Capella University), which provides instruction in Jazz improvisation to a Web-based audience. I teach jazz-related courses at the University of Delaware, as well as Jazz/Funk performances in the Wilmington, DE and Philadelphia, PA area. My Web site, www.tonyventura.com, focuses on a methodology that helps musicians learn how to improvise through chord changes, from a guitarist perspective.
Bottom line-I am doing my best to spread the P90X and INSANITY message, because of the profound impact it has had, and will continue to have on my life.
P90X, INSANITY, and RevAbs, are among the best things that have happened to me in the past 20 years!!
Thank you!

I started P90X on February 12, 2009. Completing P90X was the beginning of a continuing health and fitness journey. The most important thing to remember is that results will not happen over night. You have to stick with it, eat "smart", and just show up and press play on the DVD player. I am now down to about 192 lbs., feel mentally and physically great, however, I still have a long way to go.
Thank you to my son Maxwell, who is a personal trainer and the person who told me about P90X.
