"Insanity is a really good cardio/toning workout if that's your end goal.  Some people have mentioned P90X.  I like combining both, along with going to the gym.  I've memorized/written down most of the P90X upper body…"

Charlie commented on Chris Weitzel's blog post The Lost Art of Self-Reliance
"I like your ideas here.  I think for most guys they just do a cost-benefit analysis of time and effort vs. money.  Money usually wins as the answer to their problem.  Other times it's convenient.  I learned how to…"

Charlie replied to Justin Cook's discussion Pick your poison

Charlie replied to lycan91's discussion Any advice on being alone

Charlie replied to David Terry's discussion Summer Reading for Men?
