- Bad knees. I've had problems before with my knees. Right now, the left is 100% but I've got a little pain in my right as I approach 45 degrees in a squat (coming up or going down). This is a little worrisome as I approach some of the exercises that will make me do that. Not sure how well that is going to go. I think that will be on Friday.
- Time. The workouts look like they are about an hour with 15 min abdominal exercises added on. The Yoga day is 90 minutes. And you work out 6 days a week. I'm starting so that Yoga is on a Saturday. The only time I can really do this is in the morning. If I run out of time, I may be able to push the ab stuff to the evening. But I'm not going to fool myself. Life will make me miss days here and there...there is no avoiding it. You can't just skip a day, so it may push me off schedule here and there.
- Stopping my current workout. I've went through lulls of not working out before. And then it completely sucked getting back on the elliptical or doing weights. Since I won't have time for both P90X and my current routine, I'll have to dump what I've been doing. Although I know I'll improve in many other areas, I wonder what I'll lose by not being on the elliptical or doing weights.
- What to do after P90X. This seems foggy in everything I've read. I'm not a huge workout guy. Once I'm done with this, I know I'll want to keep whatever results I get, but I'm not going to want to work out 75 minutes a day for 6 days a week. I wonder what the next step will be to maintain things.
- Quitting. This is why I'm not going to post any pictures for a while. If I quit, it won't be because it was too hard. It will be because I'm lazy. I've seen that pattern before. Hopefully I won't repeat it. But if I do, I'm not going to have a bunch of flabby pictures of me on the internet. I'll probably start putting up pics after 30 days or so.
Anyhow, that kind of sums up my fears and concerns. I got the DVDs today. The scary thing was when I went to the website and printed up the worksheets that show the exercises for each day. Holy cow. Day one is 24 exercises which consist mainly of different pushups and pullups. Wow. This should be interesting.
I'll post all of my baseline stuff tomorrow. Thanks for reading.
