In hopes to save some $$$, DH and I are looking at dropping our gym memberships. I get plenty of cardio from running and cycling, but really need to incorporate weight training. When I'm on my own, I tend to neglect the weights. So, I've been looking at some different dvd options and the P90X program looks pretty comprehensive: dumbells, plyo, pull-ups, push-ups, core, yoga, etc. And it looks pretty "home gym" friendly. We have our garage sale set of dumbells with various weighted plates and a pull-up bar, which it appears is all we'd need. I pass the "qualification" test for initial fitness, thanks to the 100 PUPs program. :)
Anyway, just wondering if any of you have experience with this program and whether it is worth the $$$. I'm just thinking that having the structure of the dvd's would help keep me on track with doing the strength training. But, I also wonder if it is too intense to do and still have energy for cycling and running. I have had trouble with overtraining when I incorporate weights into my program, and finding myself too depleted to keep up with cycling and running. I need to find a balanced program!
Any thoughts?
P.S. I'm not looking at getting "ripped." Just want to increase my strength and keep my bone density from falling . . .
