Congrats man. I did 2 months and quite, but for the last month or so ive started doing some of the exercises i like the most about once a week, plus ive been working out at my friends home gym. I also ran in a 5 mile obstacle course race about a month ago, which is the most ive ever run before. This is a tremendous change from my previous lifestyle. I avoided any type of exercise at all cost, i would even avoid riding a jet ski because it would make me sore.

My plan is start back up and do the full 3 months once its full on winter and theres less to do outside.

Probably copyright protection. I have software to take care of that.

You know, for making my own backups and archival purposes. :cheeky-sm

Yeah I've got software too to break the protection but for some reason these discs just won't copy right.

A friend of mine copied my dvd's with no problem, but hes pretty good with them computers. I will see if i can figure it out, but ive actually never used my dvd burner or have ever held a burnable dvd in my hands before. I watch less movies then anyone i know.

Is your finger better? Also didnt you break your arm from lifting before? When are you trying to start?

Also i know a lot of people that go to bittorrent.com for movies and stuff, i would bet theyre avialable there.

No, broke the arm at work 2 years ago, fell on a freshly-mopped floor (no warning) while carrying 2 boxes weighing a little over 70 pounds. Boxes came down on arm that just nailed the floor...it didn't have a chance. Had to get a plate and screws to fix it and then there was some legal "activity".

Finger is buddy taped. Feeling a little better, still missing some range of motion too but they said it could take a couple of weeks.

So, won't be doing P90X for a little while anyways.

Getting old blows...I work out all the time...when I don't get stupid injuries.

[MTK]

Did you have a comp claim Buster? Not sure about PA laws, but in NY that injury is worth some $$.

[Monkeydad]

Yep. It all worked out well for me.

5 days into the X now, it's definitely a quality workout program. I'm glad I worked up to it, because as much as it's kicking my butt, it would be much worse if I dove in head first without having a decent baseline to start from.

Think I broke one of my toes last night though, not from the X, just stubbed the ever loving crap outta it. It's swollen and bruised up today, definitely feels broke. Just hope it doesn't hinder me too much. I think I can push through, it's just annoying type of pain, nothing major.

Can you move it? If so, it's probably not busted.

Damn man, that sucks. Pretty X like to push though, Awesome! Rad! INNTTTTENNNNSSE!!!!...... Poly is gonna be tough, i would think.

I hadnt touched a weight in about 10 years when i started p90x and felt soreness i didnt think was possible, espicially in my hips. Keep us updated on how it goes.

Also are you using weights or bands or both?

When you posting pics?

[MTK]

I'll post some pics once I'm done with this 9 month journey

I can move it, it's just the tip around the nail that's bruised and swollen. I can tell it's broke, if I give it a little pressure it hurts pretty good. I've broken toes and fingers before.
