I feel there must be a starting point in what I got...so what is it fellas...I mean like an intro to Yoga etc.

So which one didyou start with?

[Dorling]

Which videos did you get? I know if you by the pack you get a selection of beginner and intermediate ones.

If you have a workout called the diamond dozen, start there.

Then Fat Burner, Energy and Red Hot Core.

Once you're happy with those, move on to Strength Builder, Below the Belt and Stand Up.

After that, Diamond Cutter. Double Black Diamond is last and one that I am yet to try.

As long as you do the Diamond Dozen first, the rest of it doesn't really matter TBH. Every workout features modifications of the moves that DDP does (one of the people on the video is in the 'modification zone' of each workout) if you can't quite manage it, and he talks you through how to adjust the positions so that you are more comfortable.

The best advice is to just get in there and do it!

[Trumpers]

I believe I do! Cheers mate!

I know the spacing messed up slightly on here, but still think you can see what it means. Hope that helps!

[Trumpers]

I got that as well, but I think I was missing half the key! lol! Hence NOW it makes sense as oppossed to looking like my 5th grade report card.

[T-Birder]

My computer tells me the DVD is a virus...

[Dorling]

I guess I'm the only one that actually paid for the DVDs then?

[T-Birder]

They're expensive and I'm a poor post-grad...

Got a friend to find them somewhere else, 5 hours to download lol.

[T-Birder]

Got them and tried the first one. Gonna follow the schedule and see what happens.

I find myself wondering if I'm doing these moves right. Guess I'll see.

[Jack Benevolence]

I recently turned 30, and as the many of us here that are 30 and up (there's many of us...right?) will tell you, there is sort of a mini mid life crises that comes with that.

I've always kind of thought to myself, 'I'm out of shape now, but I can drink some water and do a push up or two and be back in shape.' Now that I'm 30 and I'm looking at the shape I'm in, it's starting to click that it's going to be very difficult to turn things around if I don't really act.

I know I've posted "I'm starting again..." about 8 different times on here since starting this topic, but I'm really starting to feel depressed about the shape I'm in. I've gained back almost all the weight I've lost in the past and I can't tell you how disappointing that is.

I guess at the end of the day, this is yet another 'i'm going to start getting in shape again...' post.


I've been pretty healthy since I turned 30 on Saturday and am about to go for a very short, quick, jog to get the blood pumping before heading out to work.

[Doug E Fresh]

I'm 10 months away from 30. But I had that realization when I was 25 years old and 50 pounds heavier. We are fully capable mentally of pushing ourselves but physically age just doesn't allow for some things. Its a very slow deterioration at first but for example, I'm lifting 5 days a week right now and there isn't a day I don't wake up in some kind of pain. When I was younger I'd recover faster.

Point is for everyone, push yourselves now to do something if you want to. And kudos to everyone who already is. I love seeing this thread bumped and reading all the different things everyone here is doing to stay in shape. Much love.

[Drama Queen]

Just broccolied the above two posts because this shouldn't just be a "so I'm currently doing this, this and next week going to try that" thread, it's good to hear views on the mental aspect of it all.

I really hope this serves as inspiration and does not come across as boasting but at 36 I am in the best shape of my life. There life after mid-life crisis guys

[Jerry McClean]

Well that's a nice and depressing chat guys. Cheers. That's more likely to push me to drink than to exercise >_>

[Cory]

Doing my own modified version of P90x and I'm down 12lbs in 3 weeks, keeping strong.

[Drama Queen]

What's going on slackers?

Cory how is your P90X going?

What's the verdict on DDP's yoga guys?

I just completed day one of Insanity. More cardio based than P90X of course, but a big plus is the work-outs are more intense but shorter, because let's face it sometimes there are not enough hours in the day.

Refereeing season is starting up again for me soon, that will keep me nice and fit even when I don't have time to work out.

Just been on vacation in New Hampshire, camping up in the mountains, did a lot of hiking and treetop adventure/zipline obstacle courses and was glad of my fitness level, it helped a lot.

Gary, where you at these days, miss you bro, you have been one of the most inspiring people in my fitness quest.
