Yeah, some co-workers are thinking about utilizing our time offered for working out and starting insanity or some other fitness program... thinking I should join, at least I'll have someone besides myself to keep me accountable.

Good luck. After a 45 minute tape I would collapse into a pool of my own sweat. But about 20 minutes later you feel awesome....

I did the whole P90X thing while on deployment. Just let it slip when I got home, too many other things I'd rather do with my time.
Now, my gut is telling me that I need to choose something else to do with my time, and that it needs to be exercise!

I feel ya man. My gut has been saying that for a long time.

Yeah, I have a couple of friends on P90x now and it seems like between the massive diet restructuring and the workout schedule, it is a pretty major undertaking.

Still a black belt. Still teaching on occasion (not daily like I used to... Having a family changed that). I have to start varying my routine. My body gets used to shit and finds new and creative ways to gain weight.

OR as we age our cells become more and more insulin resistant leading to carbohydrates being stored as fat more despite us not increasing our caloric intake...

Yeah, I never did the diet part, just the workouts. Probably why I saw the muscle mass increase and tone, but didn't really cut the fat like they say, huh?

Anybody going for strength? My personal trainer and coach is an 84-year-old who competed in Olympic-style lifts and can still lift some heavy weights. The main thing he teaches is to do the lift correctly.

My favorite is the clean-and-press. As a scientist, I love the physics behind it. Gravity, inertia, momentum, speed and balance (sound like motorcycle riding?). It's also a multi-muscle exercise. It's an incredible warm-up exercise when using light weights. And when you put some heavy weight on, you know you have exercised. It's the difference between weight training and weight lifting.

So Coach says I should enter a competition. I checked the world records http://www.iawa.org.uk/IAWAUK.html for the lifts I do, and for my weight and age the record is hundreds of pounds more than I can lift. Except for one. The strict curl. I do curls after chin-ups. I've curled 132.5 lbs and the record is 40 kilos (88 pounds). That is, after I get my weight down from 212 pounds to 198.
