15 minutes of various youtube music videos to random cardio, jumping jacks, squat thrust, running in place, push ups, sit up than super set a total body work 10 excercises (switched daily) 1x25 of each excercise, with no rest in between, than go up in weight by 10 lbs and repeat 1X15 of the same with no rest. Run 1-2 miles every other day.
Yeah I have one. I find it so hard to use though. I'm in pretty good shape as I keep active and exercise regularly but I still find it really hard to use. My legs get tired after about 5 minutes. I keep trying though, i'm hoping with time it'll get easier.
If you have nothing to lose, you have nothing to worry about.
first workout since i broke my heels 4 weeks ago. i'm sore.
quitting drinking sunday for 30 days to get back in shape. it's night and day results for me with no booze
How'd you manage to break your heel??? :shock: Ouch.
So I'll just lie down and wait for the dream Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me
Wow, some great workouts listed..
I havent really been on a daily regime since living in Tahoe. I may have to move back to for that purpose alone..
Ski a couple hours every morning followed by 40 laps in the natural mineral hot springs pool...not everyone is able to pull it off though due to location and other attributes of course.

i was running some fartleks by a lake downtown and in the midst of a dead sprint i didnt see a small drop off coming. it was only about 5 ft and thought i could just jump and go with it but i was running so fast i couldn't slow down and landed full speed right on the heels. fractured the left and stress fractured the right. pretty awesome.
i'm an idiot
but i'm back, and i run on my toes anyways so i don't need no stinkin heels

Hard for me to get motivated right now. We've had really cold weather. I managed to run 12.5 miles on Sunday and the temp was in the 20's. Yesterday morning there was snow and ice on the ground so I willed myself to go to the gym and get on the dreadmill. I managed 4.5 miles but it took every bit of willpower that I had. I am an outside person! This morning I got on the trainer at the house and completed the daily bike program (but I chose a short one - only 45 minutes). Tomorrow morning the temps will be single digits. I wonder if I can make myself go to the gym again.

30-40 min walks up the hill with jogs on the flat homestretch
Up to 50 laps now in the pool
Ab work (really noticing an improvement there!)
Some squats, lunges etc
Having 1 to 2 days off a week. Been doing that since week or two before Xmas. Feel like I'm toning up which is great!
Thinking I need to step it up though....more jogs, introduce some weights maybe....need more work on my legs and butt....more everything really. I'm getting pretty tiny....but I want to see faster improvement. :x
Serious question here - any P90X'ers here? I'm not a fan of infomercials, but I hear nothing but good things about this, and that even makes me more hesitant.

yes, yes, 100x yes.
The program is great and it works. I use the workouts for my primary exercise routine at home and it works me much better than anything I could do short of invest in a pricey, knowledgeable personal trainer. I was training for and running 1/2 marathons and doing some p90x got me in much, much better shape very quickly.
The most important thing for any program is the diet though.... its about 90% of the importance, so you would want to follow the p90x diet as close as you can.
As far as equipment, it could be very minimal. You can get away with resistance bands and that is it. a pull up bar that fits in a doorway is nice, a yoga mat, yoga block(s), push-up bars,and weighted gloves are all helpful things, not necessarily required that you can get over time. I have an adjustable dumbbell set which is gold for this program.

Awesome. Thanks. I just have a few questions to ask, so I sent you a PM.

I did the program minus the diet part..eat sensibly--lots of protein and watch the carbs, especially in the evening. No real secret though...it requires you to train intensely 1 hour per day 6 times per week...so inevitably a routine like that will improve your fitness level...the plyometrics disc I still use no doubt..

Plan on doing 11 mile trail run this weekend - weather looking o.k. for Saturday - will probably have to walk some of the steep hills.
Working on strengthening shins due to past injuries.
