Anything you can do to improve your cardio is a plus. If possible, I would suggest swimming. Head to the Y, and that's something you and your wife can do together.

man, I remember when I was a competitive gymnast, our 'strength conditioning' was after practice; shit like 3 sets of 25 overhand pushups, 3 sets underhand, 3 sets of 25+ of dips on the P-bars, 3 sets of regular pushups; 3 sets of the triangle pushups; mountain climbers on a big 3" foam pad; 3 sets of 1 minute L holds......6 days a week fo 30 minutes after a 3-4 hour practice..
I'd die now if I even attempted that. our coach wanted us to be strong with our body weight, and not so much 'ripped'. though I was lol. lol. my shoulders are still very broad; and my lats are still large. being 16 with a gymnast body ruled lol

The best way to train yourself to do more pullups is doing a bunch of pullups. Do as many as you can (if it's 2, that's fine) and then do some more by jumping off the ground to get up and then lowering yourself slowly. You can also do some assisted pullups with a resistance band.

Ideally, you'll have more energy once you get going with the program and you'll want to start adding other physical activities to your daily routine. Again, figure out what you enjoy and what works for you. |

In the end though, it's all about doing what you want to do... I'll skip certain things in those videos, not do some of them, modify some... make it enjoyable.

I did the ab ripper x the first time and almost went to the hospital the next day because I though I tore something. Turns out I was just really out of shape. P90X is an awesome workout.
The hardest part of any new workout plan is just getting started and getting past the first week. Good luck with whatever method you choose. |

I think I'm just going to go for it. If my wife wants to participate, fine. if she wants to do her own thing, that's fine too. Hopefully if I'm seeing results, it will be motivation for her to do it as well.
my biggest challenge will be learning how to eat right etc. I'm going to hit the treadmill this week to sort of dust off the cobwebs. and or, take the dogs for a walk.
