Something you actually do is worth 100% more than the perfect program you don't do. My body is still holding together without much damage, though I have modified the situps slightly by bending my knees. Only thing is I can no longer even get close to chart 5, where I managed level B+ for a time. The running on the spot with knees to waist height is a killer. I'd love to know if anyone ever did chart 6.CanadianInvestorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05645767559302303541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-13072753595424418752010-01-19T00:53:35.452+00:002010-01-19T00:53:35.452+00:00@Angus: you forgot about the Green Hair. ;-)@Angus: you forgot about the Green Hair. ;-)Travellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17263645693176777616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-86214336133622737742010-01-19T00:50:44.957+00:002010-01-19T00:50:44.957+00:00Take one of the infomercial.<a href="http://www.xtranormal.com/watch/5974049" rel="nofollow">Take one</a> of the infomercial.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07183219862679520786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-46090997359711827012010-01-19T00:30:54.285+00:002010-01-19T00:30:54.285+00:00I think P90X is the program you are thinking of. ...I think P90X is the program you are thinking of.

I'm sure there is an app for that as well. I use the Online version for tracking my weight.

Finding out what it stands for satisfies a curiosity I didn't realize I've been carrying for more than a quarter century.<br /><br />The other piece of reading material there at the time was a guide to Glacier National Park, mentioning the "40-odd glaciers" within its borders. Today, it's more like 20. (Ten years from now it might be zero; another ten years and it will be.)Anoynmoushttp://anoynmous.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
