    And at the end of it when you lose weight and get all ripped, they'll want to do it themselves!


    I'm not denying it's benefits at all! I want to lose about 15 pounds and just get away from the running thing and I just quite frankly don't have time for a gym anymore. I know people will always say you can make your own time, but I guess at this point I don't want to contribute 3 hours to the gym considering travel time, showering, etc.This at an hour a day or so in my own home I think will be great. I'm so sore today.

    The only part of the program I won't be following is the diet. My metabolism still seems pretty high and I'm a picky eater so I'll control that.

    I'm the same way. First of all gyms are disgusting. Secondly, I don't have the time to go to the gym. Thirdly, I don't want to pay a gym membership that I probably won't fully take advantage of. Oh, and it's a great program in the Arizona summer where if you run outside, you will literally die! :D
    1-1.5 hours a day in my living room is far more practical for me. The workouts are great (though there are some that I don't like :lol: ) and the program WORKS!

    P90X was awesome! While I didn't lose a lot of weight (didn't have much to lose in the first place), my strength, flexibility and endurance are all so much better now. Oh...and I also have upper body muscle now! :lol: Shoulders, arms, and abs are really defined and toned!

    I took a month off after my first P90X experience and I'm at the end of the first month on my second go-round. I really look forward to it!

    Beachbody has some good programs!

    That's why I did it too...and I really think that it's the best workout you could get in such a short period of time. Anything that gets you sweating like crazy just after the damn warmup is intense for sure! It goes by really fast too, which is nice. Just make sure that you go at your own pace, I had a friend try it with me once and he ended up puking 15 minutes into it because he was overdoing it.

    I used to have a hockey coach that would make us all run at full speed until the first person puked then he scaled it down. I bet you he can't get away with that shit today anymore. :lol:

    Yeah, my high school coach used to do the same thing. We'd be like 6-7 miles away from school on a 10 mile run. Someone would get sick and he'd just leave them there. One dude, by the time he got back to the school had to be taken to the ER! That was totally normal stuff back then! :shock: :lol:

    Dig Deeper DS!! :lol::lol::lol::lol:
    This shit is hard. Had to take a few days off due to a prolonged migraine, but I'm glad I did because it gave some time for the quad soreness to go away.

    Mamasan, thanks for the heads upon the I hate Tonya fb page! Can't stand her grimaces- save those for your porn career bitch, we know that's where you're heading :lol:

    My numbers better go up with the second fit test if I have to watch her through it again.

    Oh, anyone notice the poor girl Rachel who bears an uncanny resemblance to Casey Anthony? :shock:
