p90x
shmokes:
BTW, I had been bugging my wife to start for a couple weeks and couldn't get her to display any interest in it at all. After weeks of badgering, we started the program Sunday. Monday morning she said, "I'm not even sore at all." And I smiled and said, "Wait till tonight. You'll be sore. And then wait till tomorrow and you will be SORE." So, we skipped last night cos I had class till 9 and went straight to a friend's birthday party till about midnight. And get this . . . today my wife texts me from work and says, "I'm so sore. I love it. Let's do it again tonight." (Come on . . . get your heads out of the gutter . . . she's talking about P90X :) ). Then I had lunch with her and she said that last night she wanted to do it without me, but didn't know which exercise she was supposed to do next.
So . . . it's at least good enough that it only took one workout to take my wife from reluctant to excited. Kinda cool!

I was surprised to see this one at my local Walgreens:
Iron Gym Total Upper Body Workout Bar
When I started this routine I realized that a pull up bar and dumbbells would be the last workout equipment I'd ever need/buy, so for my b-day I bought myself a set of these:
Sport 5.0
Day two is when I realized this program was the real deal.
(The soreness you get from day 2 can’t be mentioned in this thread without it going straight into the gutter.)

Hopefully I can get some more sleep tonight than I did last night and bring it more for Cardio X.

I got a used set of those Power Blocks from Play It Again Sports about a year ago. They're insanely expensive to purchase brand new.

Right now I use 10s, 15s, 25s, 30s and 35s.
As I get stronger I'll need to keep adding more.
They’re cheaper than a gym and cheaper, cleaner and cooler, than having dozens of dumbbells. My buddy has an assortment of dumbbells and his workout space is littered with them.
What really sold me on the block was while I was researching them I found some YouTube videos where people were using the block for advance p90x pushups:

Did the first hour of Yoga. Did so much better than last week, but still, an hour is all I have tonight.
