Weighted Vest
I have lost almost 40 pounds in the last few months. It is getting harder to get my heart rate up where I want it when doing some of my cardio and "aerobic/bodyweight/Kettlebell, etc" workouts I do.

Tai Chi
I have been thinking that I would like to learn tai chi. I have heard good things about the benefits to the mind and stress level and also for fitness. I have not seen any "how to" DVDs out there. Does anyone know if there are any? Will I have to go to a class to learn? I would rather do this at home, not much time in the…

Does workout water count?
I do a lot of cardio and sweat a ton! (I change socks 2-3 times during a sesion becasue they get soaked). I have a 20oz bottle that I usually go through 2 times during my workout.

How would you record.....
Powerade Zero? I drink at least one, sometimes two of these after my morning workout. There is not much in it other than flavor and some vitamins. I had been listing it under food, but I have not been listing at all lately. Could I consider this in my daily water intake? IT makes it harder to meet my daily water goal,…

Question for P90X users
Due to an injury my left elbow is not what it used to be. The Army has said I can not do pushup and can not lift heavy. I do push ups occasionally, but not many and my form sucks. I can curl light weight and do over head tricep extensions, etc. The question is with some limitations like this, would I be able to do enough…
