Just started week 5 of P90X. For those of you worried about whether or not you are in good enough shape...just do it. The trainers demonstrate multiple ways to do each exercise so you can tailor it to your fitness level. For instance, I do the pullups with my feet on a chair (providing just enough assistance to pull my chin over the bar). You can do pushups on your knees, use lighter weights (or bands), etc.

It is an investment of over an hour a day, but I work 13 hour days and go to grad school in my spare time so it can be done. My abs are starting to make their first appearance in years and I still have almost 50 lbs more to lose. What I've found interesting is my weight loss on the scale slowed when I started P90X but I can see visible changes in my BF% and my clothes are falling off of me. Past diet/exercise programs I'd lost lots of weight but probably half of that weight loss was muscle, and I eventually put it back on. I can tell I'm building muscle while losing fat on P90X.

Another interesting part of the program is that even after a month, I am mildly sore every single day. With other programs I am typically sore for the first week, then my body adapts. P90X mixes things up constantly so you never adapt. Don't be intimidated by the soreness. It's a good kind or sore that tells you you've done something. I am not affiliated with the producers in any way and I wholeheartedly endorse it.

There are a few P90X groups on MFP to keep you accountable or you can start your own group. I expect it will take two trips through the program to reach my ultimate goal, but I have no doubt I'm going to get there. Stay tuned for pics this summer.
