I got a set of the rubber tube things last week. Me and the wife have been learning how to use them during our nightly workouts.
I realize I am not ready for p90x, because my flexibility is HORRIBLE. I will injure myself for sure. Before I even attempt that, I will be doing Yoga/Pilates for a while to limber up.

They have another program, Power 90, that is also out there. A lot of the articles say it's the stepping stone to p90x.
Phase I ends for me tomorrow... I'll get a bodyfat reading then. I can see a lot of fitness improvement so far. I think the biggest benefit I have gotten is balance. I had some really strong areas and some not so strong areas before. The weak links are disappearing and I can definitely feel the difference. And even though I had pretty decent cardio before it is definitely much stronger now. I've never been all that flexible either except in the hips (heavy barbells squats will do that) and that is really improving too. I can do a lot more things with straight legs that I could never have done two months ago.

I'm only on break. Finals will be over the 13th and I'll be back into it. I can't wait.

Amazing you’re at Phase 2 in only 30 days…
I fell off the wagon, I'm back down to once/twice a week.
I've been getting to bed late and because of the cold weather, blah, blah, blah.... I haven't been able to wake up at 5am and drive 15 minutes to work out.
This year I’ve only taken a few long weekends so I'm taking the last 2.5 weeks of December off, so I don’t lose my vacation days.
Next week I'll be back on and hopefully 2.5 weeks without interruption will build up my tolerance for waking up at 5am.
I can't believe you did the stretching. According to the guide you can either stretch or take a rest day.
Needless to say the stretching DVD has never left it's sleeve.

After the first couple of weeks the Stretching isn't just on the rest day anymore. It mixes in with the rest of the stuff. I did take the rest days until that happened. It begins to move to Phase II in workout terms towards the end of the third week.

Are you doing pull-ups yet?
