p90x

Sure.... it was the computer's fault.  ;) ;)

Our stocklister at work says that all the time.  ;D


I 'acquired' the p90x system, but doubt I'll mess with it. I'm just doing the bike and treadmill right now.

I won't be able to deal with machines for a whole winter.  Not after training outside all this year.  I stored all of my freeweight stuff so I'm looking for something I can do indoors, without leaving the house, that is new to me.  I've never done a program of mostly bodyweight stuff so I should be able to keep interest.

I’m interested!

I have really fallen off the p90x wagon.  From doing it twice a week to once a week to not having done it in over a week.
I didn't realize how good it was until I stopped doing it and returned to my natural shape.

Two weeks after starting p90x everyone was asking me what I was doing.  I told them I just gave up soda and walked during my lunch break.  A week after that they knew I was lieing because you don’t get those results from just eating right and walking so I told them.
This weekend my brother asked why I stopped working out.  Ouch!  He was worreid I was sick.

Two months ago I was hoping Shardian would give me updates to motivate me to keep going.  Instead the only time he mentioned the workout was to tell me he ‘acquired’ it.

We can turn this thread into a REAL last man standing thread, where the point of the thread is to keep each other "standing".

If anyone is interested we should post weekly updates(every 7 days of working out) to keep everyone else going.

I was going to start back up on Monday(after my brother’s comment), but ended up staying up late Sunday and Monday night playing GHWT, so I couldn’t wake up at 5:00am to workout.

This morning(before even reading this thread) I’ve made up my mind to get to bed early tonight.
Tomorrow I’ll post my starting weight and the max # of unassisted pull-ups.

It doesn’t have to be a p90x program, if you are doing anything just post your updates.

If my brother's comment wasn’t enough to motivate me maybe making these announcements to people I’ll never see will.
 ;)

I can only do this work out about 3-5 times a week at most, so if anyone can do it every day they should be able to catch up to me by the third or fourth week.

It’s only 90 days people…
BRING IT!

You'll need dumbbells and a pull-up bar, if you don't have those or space for those tension bands will work too.  The aerobic workouts don't require anything but water.

ChadTower:
I still have free dumbells and enough small plates around to be fine there.  I will have to work out a pull up bar, though.  I used to use a barbell in the top rung of my squat rack but I sold the rack.  I have some corrugated pipe around - I should be able to mount one to the rafters in my basement somehow.  I'm not paying $50 or more for the pull up bar on their website.  I already have a bodyfat meter and scale.

I checked the fit-test starting point and I can do all of those things easily.  They aren't very advanced.  3 pullups, a 5" vertical, 15 pushups, within 6" of a standing toe touch, 60 second wall squat, 10 two-arm curls of 20lb, 25 crunches, 2 minutes of jumping jacks with final 30 seconds at max speed.  The only one that even remotely concerns me is the wall squat and that's only because I haven't tried that since high school.
