Embarking upon a new fitness program can be a challenging task. Here are six steps to ensure you start down the right path to health.

1) What's your starting point? Before embarking on any fitness program, it is important that you first assess your own level of health and fitness. If you have not been regularly exercising, you should check with your doctor before taking the next step. At the very least, plan to start slow and build your way up.

2) Set your goals. What are you trying to achieve? Weight loss? A more muscular body? Write down short term concrete goals that will guide you. One goal might be to lose ten pounds. Another might be to move up to a more difficult level on the stationary bike. Goals are important for several reasons. They motivate you. They give you something measurable to evaluate your progress. And keeping them short term gives you the ability to more frequently enjoy the wins as you reach a new level.

3) Do what you'll enjoy. It's important that the fitness program you choose actually incorporates activities you will enjoy. If you hate the gym, find a program of home and outdoor based exercises. If you dislike jogging, focus on swimming or biking. The key is to choose activities that won't bore or frustrate you.

4) Mix it up. And speaking of boredom, it's helpful to incorporate a range of activities so you can mix up your workouts. Swim one day, bike the next. Not only does this keep you from falling into a rut, but it also forces your body to adapt to different types of movement and muscle use. For example, a program that alternates swimming with biking will ensure that you are working almost every major muscle in the body.

5) Check your wallet. You need to find a program that falls within any budget constraints you might have. If a gym membership is out of your price range, invest in a program that concentrates on exercises that can be done at home or outside. It makes no sense to invest in a fitness program that emphasizes the use of gym circuit machines if you can't afford the membership.

6) Just do it. This is the key step. After doing all the homework, go for it. Actually get up and start the program you've selected. It's time to get physical and follow through on your fitness goals. Start slow and build intensity gradually. What's the payoff? A future that includes a healthier and happier you. And chances are it's a future that will last longer than if you don't get off the couch.

Well, when Reebok decided to make a big duffle bag, they achieved their goal. This bag is enormous. With almost as much compartment space as a small piece of luggage, we'll be surprised if you can actually fill this bag. It's big, and it's durable, and priced to move. Get yours today!

The P90X Chin Up Bar is a highly recommended piece of equipment. It's main use is to help develop your shoulders, back and arms. Installing it is actually quite easy. The ingenious design allows nearly all of your weight to be distributed to the outside of the door frame, so only two small brackets are necessary.

These brackets mainly support the weight of the bar itself, preventing it from physically sliding down the doorframe, and allowing you to easily remove the bar when not in use. First follow the included instructions and assemble the P90X Chin Up Bar.

Next, you need to locate a suitable doorframe. Choose one that's out of the way from high traffic. You may also want to consider a location that's near your TV where you'll be following along with your P90X workout. The bar fits residential doorway openings (trim required) 24" to 32" wide (supports up to 300 pounds), so be sure to measure your doorway. Next, you need to install the included brackets for the P90X Chin Up Bar either directly into the top trim or right above, into the wall itself.

Be sure to install them on the appropriate side of the doorway that is the side that the door opens in to. Now, standing on a stool or step ladder, measure to find the center of the top of your door frame. From there, measure roughly 4" to the left of that point and 4" to the right, and mark each of these locations. This creates 8" of space between the brackets. Next, screw in the 4 supplied screws per bracket and you're done!

Now all you have to do is grab your P90X Chin Up Bar and guide the flat top portion through the opening of the doorway and "hook" it firmly on the brackets. Feel free to pump out a few chin ups as your reward!
