I spent $40 on free weights (the kind with handles and clips on the end so you can slide weights on and off as needed), $10 on resistance bands and $30 on the pullup bar that offers standard, narrow and wide grips. Oh and $15 on an exercise/yoga mat. Nothing fancy but it does the trick...

Oh my friend, I did use limewire. IM talking about the people who didnt. I bought regular weights on 2 different weights, it came out to 120$ and 15$ resistance bands. And as I got into P90X deeper, I bought more weight.

Those adjustable weight set is 350$ at Costco. And I believe the weight only come to 1lb -50lb thats it

Random stuff I've been doing off of working out at the gym/home for you guys. Last Saturday I did the cn tower climb in Toronto. If you guys don't know what the cn tower is, just wiki it Finished the climb (1776 stairsteps) in 17min 40sec! Pretty proud of myself but wish I did it under the 15min mark. Glad to have been a part of the fundraiser :P

Was at the gym twice today. 2nd time around, had a plank-a-thon with the trainers and other ppl there who were working out. Came in top 3 and was in plank position around 6min 30sec. It's 3 hours after the the competition but I'm still feeling the effects of it in my lower back and core The last 2 people lasted almost 9 freaking minutes!!! I got it all on camera so when I have some time, I'll post it online for all of you to see

A friend of mine wants to a month's worth of MMA training in the summer time....... I love MMA and all but I've seen their training...... Shit ain't right! I'll have to think about that one lol

Keep active and stay positive ya'll

Nice man.

I'm on week 4 still, I missed 2 days this week which sucks... back on it in a few minutes.

I have to start trying to eat better still - not seeing the results I want around the mid section, but that's the price you pay for goooood fooood.

I don't know what you look like, but i didn't have the cleanest eating habits. If i did the midsection would be more cleaned up. I might up some cardio and possibly watch food for a month. DOubt it though heading into the summer

[mdrivera]

Anybody willing to send out the workout? Tried to dl it but school has an annoying limit on size/week. I'll cover the shipping and materials!! THanks and keep up the good work everyone--impressed with the commitment and looking to join you guys soon!

I hear you. I think the diet aspect of p90x (and really fitness in general) is harder than the physical training. I'm definitely eating way healthier than I used to, but my sweet tooth still gets me sometimes. To counter any bad eating habits, I do extra cardio on top of the p90x program. I do the workouts in the morning and at nights I do light cardio (2-3 mile easy jog) and the ab ripper if it is scheduled for that day. Recently I've also been working in some hard interval runs becuase i'm getting bored of the jogs! I'm midway through the phase 2 recovery week and little by little my abs, chest and arms are getting more defined. I'm hoping to have a true 6-pack by the end of the program...

Any who wanted to share my stats.

My stomach h hasn't been this flat in 3 years, so that's pretty exciting. Ill be starting month two soon and plan on upping my weights cuz I want mass. Oh yea and I'm 6'1 and doing the Classic version. Good luck guys!

Lmao. Keep it up.

Post some front pics

[bletzm3]

you all sound like you're doing great! The only problem I ever had was sticking to it. Making excuses will hurt you. I'm starting week 5 and the switch is tough!

[Evice]

I am actually starting the program on Monday. I ripped all of the P90X Dvds into ipod format so that I can do the parts that you need pull up bar etc. in my gym. While listening to the semi annoying guy

My Start up Specs(!):
A fat @ss. 5"6' -- 177lbs.
Target: Drop to 155lbs. in 90 days. Gain muscle mass.

I also attached a file to log your progress. It is a Excel Spreadsheet to track your workouts.

PS: After saving the file to your computer, you need to rename the file extension from *.DOC(word format) to *.XLS(Excel format), I had to rename the extension of the file so that I can upload it. Somehow, Excel files are not permitted.

And No. I am ashamed to post a picture of my gut
