p90x
shmokes:
I'm scheduled to do my first P90X today, but I have a cold so I'm afraid to strain myself for fear of sending myself into coughing fits and making myself worse. Also, my pull-up bar didn't arrive today, as I thought it would. I'm supposed to to chest/back and ab ripper today. Not sure if I even need the bar, but I think I'd better not workout until I'm over my cold.

You need the bar. I'd rearrange the order a bit so the shoulders/arms is day 1 and chest/back is day 3.
BTW, treadmill running is very little work. You're not actually running, you're just stopping yourself from falling. The transition from treadmill running to actual triathlon training was surprising in that regard. The treadmill just doesn't seem like any work at all in comparison to actually being on the road.

shmokes:
I've been thinking that I want to start running outside. I couldn't ask for better weather. And for somebody living in Miami, I have a tendency to get unacceptably pale from spending all day in the library every day. We'll have to see how I feel about it once I start doing P90X.
ChadTower:
I wouldn't want to run much while doing this. Last night after the two workouts I was pretty wiped. That may be even harder for people not accustomed to strength training. If the dude says to pace yourself, believe him, it's a long hour. For the ab stuff I'm doing sets of 10 where they are doing 25. I couldn't do 25 of some of the core exercises they are doing even without a time limit. That will come in time. Core work is the part I've always done the least.
I don't really like running, but in terms of easy access and value, can't beat it.
