Looking forward to the report.
I doubt it.
Did you pirate it?Are we going to get a weekly report on your progress?
Yarrr.Sure, I'll give updates.
Where? Are these the torrents everyone speaks of?
Everywhere.Just completed "core synergistics" (about an hour with some small breaks along the way). Some of it is fairly easy, but there are a few moves that are nearly impossible for a beginner.Having done two of the modules so far, I can tell you right now that this will get you in shape. The problem with it, I think, is that the curve is very steep. Unless you are already in decent shape, you'll never get through it.
They use a mat (simple yoga variety), some free weights (5-20 lbs.), a pull-up bar, and push-up bars. You can substitute an elastic band for the weights in most instances, and the push-up bars are pretty much optional. They use the pull-up bar a lot, and that is probably what most people don't have available. They show a variation where you loop the band around something on the ceiling to simulate the motion of pull-ups, but I don't think this would be nearly as effective.For most of the exercises, you don't need any equipment. The core synergistics workout didn't use much at all besides light weights.The Z Machine said:
That was my issue as well. The time is a MAJOR commitment.If you look at the thread I linked it gives you the breakdown of exercises weekly.
Start with Slim in 6 from the same company if you aren't already in good shape.
Black effing dot.
Been looking for an excuse to get back in the gym. Running alone isn't cutting it anymore.Where does one procure a pull up bar?Mr. Pickles said:Giant Wooden Badger said:

I haven't gotten that far yet. I'm still reeling from yesterdays "boat-to-boat" set. I can barely bend at the waist.
You may want to visit the official site for the program schedule. I'm pretty sure core work wasn't introduced until the 4th week, with a lot of pullups coming early on.Been looking for an excuse to get back in the gym.

Took a couple of days.Downloading. 7GB? See you boys in 2008.
50% when I woke up this AM.Took a couple of days.Downloading. 7GB? See you boys in 2008.
Hopefully done when I get home tonight.
Not a fan of bands.How heavy are the weights that I need? Wife may try it as well. What about for her?
For her she should try the LEAN program. I'll try to remember to post that routine late tonight.Depends really - for example the only weights you use for chest and back weeks 1-4 is for lawnmower and I think back flys.The rest for that day is all pushups/pullups.I would suggest - not sure what you lift currently but - 10-30 pounds. SOme excercises I use the lower weight (usually for shoulders).
Are these routines you speak of from the P90X Fitness Guide that I keep seeing references to? That's the one thing from this program that I can't find to download. I have the calendar and the worksheets.As I type this I see a LEAN routine on the calendar PDF. It's there with CLASSIC and DOUBLES. Is that what you're referring to?
Yes. I posted the Classic up a few posts. My wife actually purchased this for me. I did it for a month - hurt my back badly doing something else and have not got back into it in about 2 months. There is also a dietary guide that I followed to a T and GREAT RESULTS the first month. I only lost maybe 5 pounds but lost many inches in the spots I needed
Everyone who tried this is dead.
Just about. If you follow the workouts to the letter, you'll damn near kill yourself.
