Getting Started

Alright guys, the P90X movement is finally on!!

As we talked about already, we will be using this week to really get ready. What we should all do is:

1 – Carve out the hour per day that will be used for the program. My time will be at night after Daisha and Chelsea go to bed. During that hour, you should watch the video for that next week. It is not required that you do the workout with the video, but I think that I will. At least do some of it. It helps when you know what you’re getting into and all that you need.

2 – Look at the nutrition guide and map out what you will eat next week. This is what we’ll do every week. At least that’s what I’ll do, I’m going to plan my meals for the whole week and shop every week to get whatever it is that I need. For those of us that go out to eat, taking the girl out or whatever, just plan on where you’re going, know what is on the menu that you can eat, and then get that. It takes all the spontaneity of your eating, but its ok. It will probably save us all money from eating out for lunch.

3 – Get all the equipment that you will need to do the program. While checking out the dvds, you will see the different pieces of equipment needed. I got most of the stuff, and here is what I found that would work. I got a pull-up bar from wal-mart for $12. I also got some dumbbell bars at $5 a piece and I would suggest getting eight 5lb weights. It also suggests buying mats to do yoga or whatever, but my carpet is good enough for me.

4 – Take some before pictures of yourself and put it up on this site.


I was looking at the program plan and saw that there are three different ways to do the program. They are Classic, Lean, and Double. I’d like to change this to a 180 day program. We do the lean program first and then do the classic. We’ll use the lean program to slim down some and tone up which will help us when doing a more muscle building Classic program.
