When I finished doing P90X I was up to 100 pull-ups in the working. Usually 5 sets of 20 w/in 60 – 90 minutes. I don’t think I could do a single set of 20 right now.

Since I have the approximate arm strength of a toothpick regardless of how many upper-body exercises I do, this has been difficult. I haven’t given up, though! I will do a pullup one day.
If I did have to choose which exercise was most like my financial journey, I’d say running. I’m trying to push myself to do a 5k in under 30 minutes. I’ll run fine for weeks on end and then something will happen that knocks me back down a notch on the treadmill and I need to start back from a lower level than before. I haven’t progressed much past 5.3 MPH in the past six months. 🙁

We put a joist-mounted bar in our laundry room last Christmas and it’s made a world of difference. If only my shoulder and ab strains would heal, I’d be closer to 10+ again, rather than the measly six currently.

Haha for real though, it’s a great way to get stronger! And I love the comparison of being financially independent to being physically self-sufficient by using body-weight exercises. Interesting piece!

I just got down and did 30 after reading, no joke. 🙂 I agree with you Ty is that there is no definitive path to physical or financial fitness. Taking action is the only thing that really matters.

I’m still working on being able to do push ups!! 🙂 You are all better men than me. I do have a pull up bar that we bought the kids for Christmas. I use it to hang but I guess I could learn to do a pull up. I’ll report back. 😉

Man that is a really tough workout! I remember finishing just the warm-up and thinking that was enough.

I thought I was a bada$$ by cranking out a bunch of pullups. I’m going to look into these muscle ups and see how hard core I really am 🙂

Right on, Miguel. With fitness and finance, the secret of success is getting started. Whether or not your plan is perfect doesn’t matter because you can always adjust things later on as you learn more or change your goals. Ready. Fire! Aim.

I’ve got the Insanity DVDs sitting in my closet (they’re from the same people that did P90X). I’m just looking for the motivation to open up these discs and start the program.
