Tony Horton himself describes his love-hate relationship with Ab Ripper X quite literally:

“I hate it, but I love it.”

But we’ve been down that road before.

Any boxing superfan will tell you that surviving ten rounds in the ring without a K.O. is the mark of an elite prizefighter.

And, if you’ve caught wind of the 10 Rounds boxing-centric workout program, you might have a few questions buzzing through your mind.

Joel Freeman is ripped (there’s no disputing that).

But was this the program behind his bulky yet cut physique? Is it a fun way to stay active, or will it leave you in beach-ready shape? Does it actually shed stubborn body fat like the ads suggest?

Some of the leanest and most fit people on the planet are those in the military. It then wouldn’t be a far stretch to use that type of training style to improve your cardiovascular fitness, right?

The grueling Tough Mudder – 10 Miles of running, obstacles, sweat, and maybe some pain, too. But what if you wanted to skip the pain pulsing from your muscles and lungs?
