geting back in shape

I might try the p90x as well... Sounds interesting.

I'd suggest checking out the Schwarzbein principle - it's a food plan that really helps you lose weight.

Also Tai Chi and Yoga, 3+ times a week will quickly lend stabilization and tone to your body.

The first phase of P90X is great for getting rid of some fat (it's the low carb, high protein phase). The middle phase is good old healthy eating and exercising lots. There's also a 3rd phase for loading if you want to do that, only for 4 weeks though.

I'm going to finish this round of P90X then start specific training for a Tough Mudder event next June. Lots of running up hills and stuff...

The P90X program has 3 muscle-building days built into each week, 3 muscle-toning days built in each week, and 1 rest/stretch day.

I mention this because Yoga is one of those muscle-toning days. You get Yoga in it, too! Haha.

Sure!

I'll go through a cycle of it with you (I'm currently in the middle of it, but I can start over, too).

Let me know when you're ready to start and we can keep a thread open here to track our progress (and maybe some other Jedi will join in with us, too).

I have to get it first! @_@ is this as cheap as it gets?



omg I'm scared, I've never done this before.... I think we can do it though!

I'd never heard of P90X before, how am I the only one who doesn't know what it is? :laugh:

So from what I can gather, it involves watching a DVD of a workout and doing the workout yourself in front of the TV? For 90 days?

I don't think there's enough space to do a workout anywhere in my house, let alone right in front of a TV...

The guys at the firehouse are doing the Insanity workout. They swear by it and it shows in their work.

My way of getting in shape is watching them workout while eating chocolate cake.

Hey, round is a shape!!!
