  • I'm also interested in hearing about this. I'm assuming a high level of cardio is best.
  • I'm with you on the mirror thing. I keep thinking I look pretty decent but once I see myself in a photograph, I find I look huge! I swear my arms don't look chunky in a mirror but they sure do in a photo! I don't trust mirrors anymore and think they're all part of some conspiracy. Damn skinny mirrors!
  • Or perhaps I could do a combination of the two.
  • mideon_696, Thanks for the input on crossfit. I have heard some good things about it and will eventually try it sometime. But I really like complete workout videos because they really work for me and keep me motivated. Plus I like having a set schedule like the beachbody workout programs offer. I need someone to tell me…
  • isislc, I'm definitely not ready to do P90X, but I'm thinking of doing P90. I did P90X a few years ago and I know for sure I'm not at that level yet! :)
  • Hmmm, I'm leaning towards doing Turbo Fire now. Maybe all of the cardio would be best to get me toned quickly. What do the P90'iers think?
  • I'm in decent shape I would say (not completely out of shape, but not in great shape either). I had back surgery last year and am trying to work my way back into shape. Before my back probs I played soccer and had almost completed P90X.
  • In my opinion, what you get out of the exercising with the Wii depends on your level of fitness. I used to be quite fit (played soccer, did P90X, etc) and found that the Wii didn't do a whole lot for me. I would have to spend a long time on it to feel like I got a decent workout. Then a couple of years ago I had to stop…

  • I'm thinking of starting p90 this week. I have the discs but haven't had a good look through them yet. I actually did p90x a couple of years ago and loved it! Unfortunately I only made it to day 78 when I had to quit because of back probs. I ended up having surgery for a herniated disc (not caused by 90x) a year ago and…
  • The marketplace for the iphone is the itunes app store. Maybe there is another marketplace out there, but I don't know about it. Being able to scan the bar code would be neat though.
  • Welcome to both of you! This site is pretty addictive. Good luck!
  • I just did a search on itunes for "fooducate" and nothing came up.
  • Wow, this sounds very useful! I'm going to download it!
  • Mmmm, sounds good. I'll have to give it a try.
  • I did P90X a couple of years ago and made it to day 78 of 90. The only reason I quit is because of a herniated disc (not caused by P90X) and I eventually needed surgery. That aside, I LOVED the program. I didn't lose a lot of weight but I toned up quite a bit and I felt fantastic! But beware...it's HARD!! They suggest that…
  • I find this very rude too. I have a friend, whose mother had gastric bypass surgery. I'm not sure what she looked like before but she's morbidly obese now, so clearly it didn't work. And she has the nerve to make jokes about how her son is overweight, and he's not nearly the size of her. She's never been a good mother, but…
  • You can get Zumba for xbox kinect too. I've never tried it and I don't know what it's like but I'm interested in getting it.
  • Thanks for the ideas everyone!! :) That should keep me fed for a while!
