TRX

So I just started on this new exercise routine, because Tony Horton and his P90x schtick is really starting to grate on me, and I feel that besides one or 2 of the exercises, they aren't whole body exercises. Plus the fact that they are always a hour long, which means I need at least 2 hours free to do them (shower, warm up, etc) puts a huge crimp in the schedule that I'm doing now.

My criteria for exercise was

1) should be small enough that I can contain it in my carry-on luggage to taiwan
2) targeting the whole body
3) that a workout could be done in 30 min or less. (high intensity)

Enter in the TRX. I'm not going into a informercial mode or anything, but just giving you my experience with it. So far everytime I workout, I've pushed myself hard enough to feel like puking my guts out. It's been years since a workout has done this to me, so I know that the workout is intense, even though it doesn't seem like it at the beginning. The best part? all it requires are a bunch of straps, so I can do it anywhere as long as there is a door or a bar to hang this thing on. And I can do it in 25 min, which means I can do it during the lunch break....suffice to say I love this thing.

now whether or not it will produce results, I don't know. :) we'll see.

between exercising and the regular practice of fasting, I'm not sure how it's all goin to work come down at the end of the internship. we'll see!
