What's your fitness level?

So my partner summarily announced a few weeks ago that we were going to do P90X. For those who don't know, its an 1+hour a day workout regimen that at some points actually encourages participants to "bring a bucket."

Now we're both in shape, and both work out daily, though this is a new level intensity for us both. But it got me to wondering what the fitness level of my fellow ebookers is like.

I don't work but I feel pretty in shape, while at the same time I know I darn well could loss 20 pounds and not miss it in the slightest!!

Sorry to be dense, but what do you do with the bucket?

I generally exercise very hard for 90 minutes a day. I play local sports and like to stay extremely active. I lift a lot of weights. I do not drink or smoke or eat junk food or drink sodas or eat sugar. I micromanage my fluids, fuel, supplements, sleep, and workout. I just got done with the insanity video (same guys who produced p90x) about a month and a half ago. I consider myself to be in great shape.

Aww, I'd not heard about that. I am always amused when the Fit Channel shows his old re-runs. Its like watching Julia Child on the Cooking Channel.

But to veer back on topic, how did you find the Insanity workout? I am used to pretty heavy cardio workouts, but am fully prepared to have my tail kicked and my pride humbled by this experience.

The insanity video is a pretty good routine once you start the second month. I would call it a 8/10 on the hard scale. The first month would be a 6.5/10.
The entire workout to include the diet I would rate a 8.5/10. I loved it because it took out all of the work creating my own routine. I like to lift and am not as use to doing a super amount of cardio.

This type of workout makes good on all of the promises it makes.

I love some outdoor sports as skating or running, and I try to run every day, as time permits. But going to a gym? Lifting weights? Boah, never!

My personal fitness level is poor, but rapidly improving. In the last three months I've lost 30lbs, and now eat sensibly, go for a brisk half-hour walk every lunchtime at work, and a vigorous 6-10 mile hike every Saturday or Sunday with the local Ramblers Association. Great fun, and a great way to get fit. I can't abide gyms - for me, being out in the fresh air is the way to go to get fit.

Right now I'm a great big couch potato, but I'm working on it. I started a new diet the day after Christmas-- eating healthy and tracking my calories on my iPad. So far so good. This week my son is taking me to sign up at the local fitness center. Healthy here I come.
