I'm a fan of kettlebells, particularly like the kettlebell workouts from www.artofstrength.com i have Providence & New Port workouts and only do the Providence one at the moment.

P90x does look interesting might have a look at that too but i love working out with kettlebells, i have a 16kg one and a 12kg one. Have never been strong but i plan to work my way up to the 24kg as soon as possible.

Matt Furey's "Combat Conditioning". 3 CORE exercises nicknamed "The Royal Court": Hindu Squats, Hindu Pushups, and Bridging. No equipment necessary. Advanced exercises which also need no equipment: One armed pushups, and pistols.

Oh man, pistols are insane. You also need flexibility here!

I actually use a band and loop it around one of the studs in my basement so I have a bit of help in staying in balance with the pistols. Otherwise I always fall backward. I can change the slack on the band to increase/decrease intensity as needed. I figure if I keep doing pistols and add trapbar deadlifts, I'll have myself a nice leg workout.

After doing P90X for the prescribed 90 days I was sold on one-armed pushups as well. I've worked up to 13 per arm (I do all the reps per arm, then switch). My goal is to get to 25.

I'm refusing to drink anything unhealthy. I'm sticking to water, and riding my incumbent bike.

The Australian Government gave us some "economic stimulation money" early this year, which was just the right amount for us to buy an exercise bike. We got a nice quiet one and ride while watching TV

I am 7 months post op of major back sugery. So I just got released to do the balance games on the Wii and walking. To those who just sit around, you don't know what you have till you have almost lost it.

Looks like Patzer and others here share my passion in fitness.

Since this thread was resurrected, wanted to report my progress.

I've worked up to 3x12 on TBDL at 195 lb, and using just a single band (instead of looping it around and grabbing onto both) with pistols. Just today I set a new personal best with one-armed pushups at 2 sets of 17.

I only lift Monday and Thursday -- full body, big lifts. Tuesday I wail on my heavy bag for 30 minutes and Wed/Fri I hit the treadmill and do interval stuff.

I got some kettlebells for Christmas and work those in a bit -- nothing too serious with them at the moment.
