Do you think for a lazy ass like me, doing p90x is a better idea? I mean, I wanna get cut but I think lifting is more extreme. I think with p90x I just do it for 90 days and watch what I eat going forward. [/quote]
(Gonna go with likely troll here, but…)
Do the extreme thing; lift for awhile, fix your diet. Then go hit on women in the Zumba class.[/quote]
Not trolling bro. I really don’t wanna spend too much time working out as I have a lot of classes and other school activities I participate in, I am enrolled in a masters program…
But I know I need to get in better shape. So I was curious about whether lifting of a program like p90x was better suited for my needs. I understand most of you guys probably aren’t in the same boat as I… But I still wanna get input as to the pros and cons of each.
And laugh all you want, chicks were hot in that zumba class.[/quote]
Push ups, Chin ups/pull ups, bw squats, bw lunges, sit ups, lying superman( lowback excercise ) can go along way if your only goal is to be “in shape”. Also a simple Bodyweight routine done every other day can build a decent base of body awarness and some strenght that will come in handy if you decide to start lifting weights later down the road. I am not strong by anyones standards, but I am alot stronger than I started and I did mostly chins and push ups my first training year and I gained something like 7kg and I even increased my bench from a pathetic 6x40kg to ( still pathetic ) 3x60kg with mostly push ups in a year with a complete crap diet( read way to little food ). So just do something as simple as doing some bodyweight excercises every other day and you will probably look a little better and be a little stronger.
The point here is that doing something beats doing nothing everytime!
Good luck.
