Life gets in the way and I end up missing a week and then fizzle out. However I am determined to get back on the horse and hammer out the rest of the 60 days I have left. The hardest part is finding the time between the wife and kids to do an hour workout via DVD every day.

All that said I ! It has to be the best I have ever done. Click on the image to see all the reviews at amazon as that helped me in determining which program to go with.

One of the best parts of is the music and Tony talking you through every step. It makes the workout fly by and you don;t have to focus as much on how bad it hurts. Just power through and X it.

I have a found a few resources to help out with making it easier to keep track of . Here is a P90X Spreadsheet to keep track of progress which has has all the pre/post test info you can put in as well. My good friend Matt has a blog post about P90X that outlines all of the extras he bought for using the program. I ended up just purchasing basic dumbbells from Wal-mart and a yoga block (needed because I’m not flexible at all!). If you have any questions about what I use or getting started leave a comment and I’ll respond back to you. Good luck with and not fizzling out like me :)

I know what you are thinking. It’s a new years resolution that will be short lived, but I think I’ve come to the point where I’m sick of being sick and tired. So I set out to find a few articles on getting back in shape without having to pay alot of money to the gym. The consensus is if I can get 20 min or more of intense cardio 3 times a week a could be loosing fat and staying fit. Here are some of the links I found that helped out:

So there is no more excuses for us geek not to do something about our health. Get out there and get moving.

I’ve seen this info in a couple of places but stumbled upon it again today. Take a look see. It is abasically saying to take a nap after drinking caffeine as a way to get a extra super power nap. Basically you drink a cup of coffee, soda, etc that as caffeine and then take a 15 min nap no longer no shorter. Interesting indeed. I think I might try it.
