I am nervous!

Not really fit at all, but feel that I can do the modified exercises safely (at least I hope). Am I insane for getting this program?

    Just go by the directions. It's a great program. I bought it years ago and I still have it now. Push yourself but don't overdue it. Good luck

    Also, don't feel bad if their pace is too fast. I tended to feel pressure to keep up with them and then I'd keep stopping. Go at a pace that's comfortable for you, even if it doesn't match the pace they're going on the DVD. Modify as needed and remember that any exercise is good for you!

    Don't be nervous, tons of people have walked this path before you and wherever you're at today I guarantee someone worse off than you has done it. Just push play everyday - it's that simple! You got it!

    I understand completely how you feel! I really hesitated to get P90X, but I have also had it for years and love it. I agree with previous posts, push yourself - but don't over do it...modify when necessary. Keeping track is a good idea so you can watch your improvements. good luck!

    That was my very first program. It took me a couple of times to complete it, but I did. Don't be nervous. One day at a time. modify when you need to, eat right and hydrate. Good luck!
