Measurements and thoughts

First the data:

N: 17.25
B: 15.00
C: 48.00
UW: 47.50
LW: 44.00
T: 25.25
H: 46.00


COMPARED TO 03.29.08

N has dropped 0.5 inches; biceps remain the same; chest is down 3 inches; upper stomach has dropped 2.5% while lower has dropped an inch; thigh is down 0.25.

COMPARED TO 04.11.08. . .

I can also note a .25 drop in neck; .25 drop in biceps; 0.75 drop (from last week) in chest;
a 2" drop in waist and a .5" drop in lower waist; hips were teh same; and thighs are actually 0.25% larger (probably from increased cycling and rowin).


Calipers:
P: 26, 27, 26
S: 59, 57, and 59; and
T: 15, 13 and 14.

Result: 29.03%

I suppose that's a drop of about 1% from the prior 30.19%. Or, perhaps it's only a rounding error.

NEW WORKOUT PRODUCTS

I have considered the purchsae of two new potential workout products. Ultimately, though I think I reject them. However, I did recently buy some rollers from Performance. They Rock --

Rollers
I did also purchase one new product : Rollers (for riding on the bike indoors). I owned rollers (and used them quite frequently in the midst of really loud rock music) for a few years back in Boston. However, while I moved them out to California, I rode more outdoors than indoors, so I sold them off. Now that I often work late, and I don't like to ride my road bike in the dark -- I bought another pair of rollers (incidentally, about $100 bucks on sale, so it was a pretty good deal too!).

The P90x
I did look into the P90x, since it had rave reviews. Apparently it's put out by Beachbody or Beachbody fitness.

The p90x seems to have a rabid followin (e.g., Tom (a hockey player-cyclist, looking to build more muscle); and Kyra's review; a more lackadaisacal review here; and Tamson and Sara talk about it too [though I think they're runners and home workout enthusiasts]; and Rich Bilson has one of the better posts (an avid cyclist who did p90x in his offseason).) And Rich gave a nice shout out to cross-fit. . .
