Journey to fitness

I have recently begun P90X - it's a dvd fitness program. The X is for EXTREME - I assume the P is for perspiration, and pain, and the 90 is because your body feels 90 years old.

There is an hr long work out every day. My modified program: 15-20 mins of work out at least 3 x week. My excuse is that I use my body all day as a massage therapist and can't afford to not be able to life my arms. Also, I leave usually at about 8:30 AM and dont get home until abut 7 or 8 PM... so fitting in an hour is complicated.

So far my week 1 has lasted about 3 weeks. And, plyometrics, and Ken Po are by far the most taxing things I've ever done physically - including 4-day backpacking, swim team, and swimming against a heavy out-going tide to get to shore after a terrible surfing lesson. I'll leave the gory details of my physical un-fitness out .. its the kind of thing you sweep under the rug and hope no one ever finds.
