My muscles are too big to work out.

Is there equipment required? I want to do this after I finish my current program but I don't wanna buy shit :/

Looks very cool

I am down 20+kg (40+lbs) since October last year. Started off with P90X and moved onto Insanity now and next is Tapout XT.

Mix in a bunch of walking / surfing with that over summer too, now that it is getting cold, no more swimming for a few months!

i confess no swim today, fuck me

Go do it, you'll feel a million times better for doing it.

Getting there is half the battle :2 cents:

1. watched puta mow lawn
2. made memes

I run like 2 km every morning and in the evening i go to the gym. Cant wait for the summer, i go for 3-5 hikes / summer.

fitty motivational threads :sleep

You always get the top of page 2, do you live here?

For P90x, you'll need:

1) Iron gym pull up bar - $20 on amazon

2) Dumbbells (get some 15's and some 25's to start off with) - $30-40 a set or so

3) Not completely necessary but your wrists will thank you - a set of perfect push up bars - $30-40

4) Mat (for yoga and the ab ripper stuff) - $20

YES, "there's no place like Home Dorothy" :Graucho

You can get a gym membership for a year for that price!

just got up and got myself a coffee.
thats all for today

Dunno, a gym around here is $20-30 a month easily plus I go home, take care of whatever I have to take care of, get dressed and start working out in my living room vs having to go to a gym and then come back home as well so it works out for me pretty well.

i'm surprised you are poopooing this. :Oh crap

p90x is the best workout system i have ever come across. part of the reason is how cheaply i put together the needed equipment.

my dumb bells are a hodgepodge of iron, some a bit rusted, and concrete, a couple are cracked. who gives a shit, not even olympic, so what, 25 pounds = 35 pounds.

craigslist for everything, the DVDs, plates mats, dirt cheap, sometimes delivered. i didn't get push up bars until later, i like them but there are ways to protect your wrists doing push ups without the bars.

pull up are one of the 3 most important exercises one can do and they are embarrasingly hard to learn and get going on in the gym. i can bang out pull ups now. and that's because of p90x.

very recommended if driving to the gym/going to the gym doesn't work for you.

Fuck yeah, great point about the pull ups.

:thumbsup :thumbsup

Agreed, P90x is fantastic, but gets boring so need a few different bi-monthly workouts to run through.

i made my own program. i agree, i got bored too, i've done the 90 days many times so now i only cycle the chest and back routines, the leg and yoga routines, and whichever cardio sounds like fun that day.

i've also dialed it way back, 25 minutes, no warm-up or cool down. + abs

when i go on vaca, i dial it up for 30-45 days prior and bam, ready to hit the beach.

i wouldn't recommend this until you get the full system under your belt a few times.

Have done p90x twice and just about finished insanity for the first time - tapout xt next.

But yeh I liked quite a few of the routines in P90x, only negative was 90mins of yoga - loved how flexible I became, but 90minutes :mad:

Insanity does not put any focus on weights, however it absolutely kicks your ass. I thought I was getting somewhere with P90x smashing out pushups and then tried insanity, by the time they start doing pushups in a routine i'm barely getting 10 to 15 out... It is tough, but loving it.

Found myself eating quite a bit more with insanity too.

i might have to give that insanity prg a whirl eh!

Yeah, have a crack at it, be interested to hear what you think / thought of it.

step 1, imagine this a fixed distance in front of you:

step 2, go towards it

Nope not poo pooing it at all, its a great program. Especially if you cant get to the gym. More of a personal preference...I think p90x is a great supplement to a weight/workout protocol. But to stay in shape it most certainly does the trick :thumbsup

The total max cost listed in that guy's post was $160. Gyms where you are only charge less than $200 bucks for a year?

wow.

Here they're all like $400-$500. Over $40 per month.

That's crazy expensive...the most I've paid is 32/Mo at LA fitness, I've got it down to 17/Mo through referrals. I wasnt being literal in the sense but its pretty expensive to get started at home with stuff. The price of dumbbells is redic. Best place for that stuff is craigslist, never buy new.

2.2 km swim, now gonna go drink without quilt.

No squats?

You're on house arrest?

What is that?

it's the nike fuel activity monitor with the accompanying smartphone app

Not on this full body day. I have a 25 day workout plan I follow, 3 weeks of split workouts followed by 1 week of full bodys. Oh boy is there squats in there....TOOO MANY SQUATS

sounds like a variation on the 5x5 ?

Sounds cool. Never seen one before.

they are getting a lot better these days. another good 1 is the jawbone up, if you are considering picking one up. it monitors your sleep patterns as well and diet.
