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 . . .
