So, I have (obviously) been running in an effort to increase my abilities, stamina and speed. But, like most people I am an instant (or quick) gratification sort of person. I would like to grow stronger, lose weight and run further NOW. (This probably helps to explain how I manage to over do it and cause myself injury on a regular basis. My wonderful wife put a lot of effort into keeping me from hurting myself just after my surgery.) I started to do some research into exercise programs that could be done at home to increase my strength and lose the girl-scout-cookie fat that likes to stick to me. There are three main ones I have looked at so far: P90x (heard incredible things from several people on this), Cross Fit (I have come to the conclusion that this is something like a cult and you can't figure it out without help. I have no idea what the "exercise of the day" is, or how you find out) and Insanity (I liked the commercials).My first priority is that it has to be able to be done on my own, at my house on a varying schedule as my family's schedule is anything but consistent. The second aspect is that it can't require much in the way of the equipment. I don't have the money to buy much equipment, nor the room to store it. And third, it has to be something I will actually do. Unfortunately this one will only be tested by time.
