  • Thanks for the responses. Canadianlbs, I can see how you would be confused by the way I worded that. I meant to ask if I should do away with my classes that involve a lot of bodyweight exercises if I add free weights and machines to my routine.

  • I started Insanity on August 27, but that's pretty close to Sept 1! I did day 12 today. Stats: I started at 142, completed a Chalean Extreme challenge, did most of P90X, and some Turbo Fire.
