in Introduce Yourself
Hello! I am getting my holiday weight gain on. I am usually very active, but lately with sick kids and the holidays I don't even want to break back into the routine of working out. So far my weight gain has been minimal, but I can tell the tone I had is getting squishy. :)

I've had P90X for over a year now. I've made it through one week.. once.... but I am wanting to commit to doing P90X starting either the 2nd or 3rd of January. I'm ready to do the before/after pictures.. the whole bit. I have 3 small children and will have to get up by 5am to insure that I get an hour of time to myself. My husband works unpredictable hours, and I can't tie him down to being on kid duty for at least an hour a day.

Anyone else out there have the program and want to start out with me in 2011?

    I have the program and currently doing P90x, by 2011 I should be done with 90 days but I want to start a second round to tone my muscles. I can start it with you :) the first time around I did the lean version because of my knees but now that they are stronger I want to try the classic version.

    I'm in the same boat, I got the system at the beginning of 2010 thinking it would change my life, but quit doing it consistently after 30 days because my partner quit, too!

    I like the idea of doing the before/after pictures, too... that's encouraging, and it motivates me knowing other people are going to be seeing me! I'd be down with starting in January!

    I would like to do this too. I will have to do the lean program (my back went out last month) and I will be on vacation without a TV for ten days in February. I will need to dust them off.

    I'm ready to start P90X in 2011!! I have started it a couple of times... never have completed. I may start out with the Lean program and throw in the Plyo as a sub for the Cardio... but maybe I'll have a better chance at sticking to it if I begin with the Lean. I HATE pull ups and I can do a couple without the chair/stool... but... I'm still waiting to break through and be able to do a nice set of assist free pull ups.

    Anyone ever completed the really long yoga? I've usually subbed a different video over the yoga. Yoga is not a favorite of mine, and when I saw the timer for an hour and a half....??? I got about 20 minutes in and said forget it.

    I really think that if you start with the Lean program you will be able to stick to it, that is the way I started because I knew that if I started with the classic I would not stick with it. I am almost done with my second month and cannot wait to start my last month so that my next round I can do the classic.

    One of my goals is to complete the yoga exercise I have not been able to complete it due to time issues, I work out at night so by the time I start working out is 10 pm if I do the long yoga I would be up til like 1 in the AM and I have to get up early the next day so only an hour is the max I have done :)

    I recommend that you use the resistance bands to do the back exercises. If you already have the DVD's take a moment, check it out, and you will see that there are ways to modify the classic program.

    I started my second month of Power90 this week, and will finish it all up at the end of January. I'll be able to start P90X the start of February...hopefully about the time I am also close to my first goal of 200 lbs.

    Though Power90 doesn't call for pullups, I've already got the bar and have started working on them to give myself a leg up when I start P90X. So far, I can do 4, but am hoping to do quite a bit more once I've lost another 18 pounds.
