        That's awesome Jeff

        What are the major principles of that diet? Same as Caveman diet or are they the same thing?

              Anyone have any opinions on programs like P90x or Insanity?

                I have p90x.  It does everything I need it to do, but I'm a push up, pull up, sit up kinda guy.  It provides useful variations for me, and I like their "Ab-ripper X" to burn away all that beer.  If you have IPtorrents, I say its worth the 7GB freeleech download.

                I don't care for all the talk during the video, so I just mute it.

                  From the reviews I've seen it seems p90x is longer workouts and requires extra equipment and Insanity is more cardio based and doesn't require anything

                  Just wanted some first hand experience

                    OK, first hand experience:

                    p90x does require equipment: pull up bar, dumbells, resistance bands, chairs for push up variations and various dumbell exercises, push up grips/stands, stools for leg kicks during plyometrics, yoga mats/shock-absorbing mats, heart rate monitor if you want one.

                    Each of the 12 videos are about an hour long (except the cardio and abs videos).  you will need water and a towel too.

                              Thank you to everyone who has contributed their workout regimen and plans here and in the GORUCK thread.  It seems kettlebells are pretty popular, and I have been curious about them for a while now.  After looking through everyone's posts, and watching hours of video on technique, I purchased some CAP kettlebells tonight.  I'm really looking forward to giving them a go later this week.

                              Extra S/O to Doug for all the great advice.

                              Oh, and same/boring/old pushup routine today.

                                Since I started working back in the city a little bit a go I've been cycling to work daily. Am back into an hour of cycling a day with a few bursty/steep hills each way. 18 months of commuter cycling, 4 month long distance cycling, and now I'm back to commuter and my legs are rubbish again. Really surprising considering I was riding further and doing more, a different kind of work out I know…..

                                Enjoying it again, painful getting back into it, but not rushing anything and enjoying the pain as process as much as possible 🙂

                                      I've been doing Skogg (roots and intervals so far) for three weeks and I'm finally getting it.  After years of lifting weights it's hard to get used to hip powered swings.  Now that I got it its kicking my ass in a good way.  Those high pulls are killer!  My advice is to work on the swing until you are sure you have it, I jumped right in without having the foundation down cold.
