Tony Little Interview-Interview of America's Personal Trainer Tony Little Pt.III

Here is the continuation of Tony Little's Bodybuilding Interview, Part II.

Hugo: Tony shifting gears, you are an incredibly looking 53-year old guy. Now let’s talk about your current training and nutrition because I’m certain that a lot of baby boomers would love to know what you are doing for that.

Tony: You know, a lot hasn’t changed. I am still using split routines. The difference is, I incorporate more cardio -- at least 25 to 30 minutes of cardio in the morning and one body part. And then I come back at around 3:00 pm in the afternoon and do another 25 or 30 minutes of cardio and one body part.

Hugo: Great. What about your weight training?

Tony: And my weight training -- I’m not doing as much as I used to but I am doing more quality work; less sets…but more focus. I am also eating right, obviously. I still say what I’ve been saying for years, “I’m definitely not Jack Lalanne” -- and he is a great friend of mine. But I am not Jack. Five days of the week my body is a temple and two days a week it’s an amusement center and that’s the way I live my life!

Hugo: I love it! [laughs]

Tony: I’ve always told Jack I couldn’t pull one boat behind me; I’d drown.

Hugo: You and I both, I cannot even float, I’d sink to the bottom.

Tony: I can relate.

Hugo: Oh my goodness, God bless that man; he’s amazing!

Tony: Yeah, he’s funny when he comes into the shopping channel and he’s working. He’ll call over to my green room, if I’m there, and say “Hey what’s going on! Can I come over?” He’s a cool guy…just the coolest guy.

Hugo: He’s very humble and down to earth. I love that.

Tony: Definitely.

Hugo: As a final question Tony, is there any advice that you would like to go ahead and share for anyone out there who’s looking to make it in this industry.

Tony: Making it in this industry?

Hugo: Yep.

Tony: Don’t ever take “no” for an answer and try every option.

Hugo: Awesome advice in my opinion!

Tony: Even back when I started in this industry, I took a hell of a lot of “no's.”

Hugo: I know.

Tony: But I don’t take quite as many now. It’s just one of those things. You obviously try to identify a product that has a large, not short, demographic appeal. Make it simple and present it.
