Working out in front of the tv always seemed a little funny to me. I tried it today though with my bro in laws P90X! We did plyometrics Tony Horton style! I gotta say, this stuff is not for the weary. It is true that you get out what you put in but being a guy who's always up for a physical challenge, I did get to that red zone a few times. The deal is you do these DVD work outs, follow the schedule for 90 days and you are fit. I don't doubt this claim if you have the courage to stay the course. Workout was great but the added heavy breathing in such close proximity to my bro in law I was not ready for. I mean, you've gotta take that kind of thing into consideration when planning to workout in front of the tv with your buddy. Just my advice... Doing the abs tomorrow.
