I used to live in Milwaukee so I can empathize with your struggles.  It's hard to pass up good beer and good food. I’m sure if you were to do your workouts down in the McKinley Park/ Lake Park area you’d find someone to join in.  The art museum may even make a better backdrop than all the photos with the ...

 Keep it up James!  I got a few weeks in again and had to switch my focus to swimming because I did the swim leg for a relay in the Chicago Triathlon.  Now, I am doing p90x but trying to use TRX type moves when possible.  The plan is to switch back to the FORCE program after p90x.  I think it'll work out ...

Thanks!  I find it funny that Brad posted this "showcase" a few days after I asked the question.  I have the jungle gym and have been using the TRX Force workout book for workouts.  I really like what both TRX and Lifeline USA's Jungle Gym have to offer.  I have not seen the TRX in person and ...
