Pilates DVD recommendation?
My boss is asking me to find a Pilates DVD for him. He's been doing it at the gym with a trainer, but has decided he'd rather just do it with a DVD to save the expense of using a trainer. I've never done Pilates, so I have no idea what to get for him. I'll be doing it with him and we're both in good shape, so we're looking…

What do you do on days you don't lift?
I just started NROL4W last week and I'm lifting MWF. I'm trying to figure out what to do on days when I'm not lifting. I generally run 2-3 times a week, but at least one of those will be my warm up for NROL. That's what I did on Friday and it worked fine- a 3 mile run as my warm up and then Stage 1 workout B. I was doing…

Starting NROL4W today!
I have been slacking recently on my workouts, but today I am starting NROL4W. I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to get in 3 workouts a week since my gym is at work and I only work Mon-Thurs. I'd love to get a weight bench for home, but it's just not in the budget right now. I need to check our gym here (it's…

NROL for Women
I'm thinking about starting this program- or at least getting the book and reading it. I do most of my reading on an e-reader, but is this a book where I'll want the actual paper book, or would I be alright with the digital copy? Also, I only have access to a limited amount of workout equipment at my work gym. We have a…

Protein Bar Recommendations?
I've been eating mint chocolate Market Pantry protein bars from Target that I love, but they're 210 calories. I'm trying to cut my calorie intake, so a lower calorie protein bar for after my workouts would be a good start. I love the mint chocolate flavor, but not the 210 calories. Anyone have a lower calorie protein bar…

Workout Planning ?- P90X and Running
I'm training for a 10 mile race on March 3. Right now I can only run about 4+ miles, so I really need to run to get in shape for that race. But I also really want to do strength training. I did P90X last year and am planning on using that for my strength training. Ideally I'd do 3 P90X strength workouts and 3 runs a week.…

Recommend your iPhone armband, please
My husband and I both want to get armbands for our iPhones that we can use while we run. I have one now, but I don't like it. When I do longer runs it rubs on my inner arm and hurts. I need something that's going to protect my skin. Does anyone have an armband that they love? What kind is it? Thanks!

Low calorie snack ideas
I'm looking for low calorie, high protein snack ideas. I always tend to get hungry in the afternoons before my Insanity workouts, but I don't have a lot of calories to spare most days. I've been eating Kashi Peanut Peanut Butter granola bars, but they're 140 calories and I'd really like something around or under 100…

If you've done Insanity, question for you
I just got Insanity in the mail the other day. I've done the Plyo Cardio Circuit and Cardio Power & Resistance so far. I like them even though they're really tough. But here's my issue- on work days I normally work out with my boss and he's not in very good shape. We've been doing P90X workouts and he can't keep up with…

My first NSV :)
I'm just over halfway through P90X- today is day 50. On Saturday I was wearing my favorite pair of shorts and noticed that they were a little loose. After having to repeatedly pull them up at the grocery store when I got home I tried pulling them down without unbuttoning them- it worked, no problem! Yesterday I was in…

Dragging today...
I am totally dragging today. I didn't sleep well and I have no energy. I'm trying to figure out what to eat for lunch to give me some energy for this afternoon's workout. I'm at work, so I can't cook anything, but I can get out to get pretty much anything that doesn't have to be cooked (including hitting the grocery…

P90Xers- anyone use iPhone app?
I'm trying to decide if I want to get the P90X iPhone app to track my workouts and food (along with using MFP, of course). I have access to the DVDs for workouts, so I don't need the workouts on my phone, so I'm wondering if the app is worth it as a way of tracking workouts and food- or if I'm better off just using MFP…

HR Monitor and Protein Shake recommendations
I've decided I'm going to do P90X so I want to get a HR monitor to wear while I do the workouts. I also know I need to start using protein shakes for the days that I do the strength workouts. I plan on going to ****'s Sporting Goods to get both of these things (I have a giftcard), but I don't know what to get. Anyone have…

I need breakfast idea help.
I eat breakfast at work in the mornings. I don't like to eat when I first get up because it upsets my stomach, so I wait and eat at work. Recently I've been eating English muffins with cream cheese, but I think I need something different. What can I eat for breakfast that's filling and I can prepare it at work? I don't…
