P90X - the workout program from hell

Just started the P90X Lean program.  It's about 60 to 90 minutes per night, 6 nights per week.  For those who aren't familiar with it, the idea is that it will reform your  musculature into a work of art in 90 days - hence the "P90X".  There are something like 10 different workouts, each specifically targeted to a muscle group or a form (e.g. kenpo, core, etc.), and they're mixed up in such a way that you won't plateau.  It includes a realistic nutrition program that doesn't involve company-specific product purchases, which is better than most package deals.  It's INSANE.  Everyone in the videos is a fitness model. 

Results not typical.

I'm 3 days in; I've done the STRETCH, the CORE SYNERGISTICS, and CARDIO X workouts.

Yeah, right.
 Unfortunately, there is not enough room in my apartment for some of the moves, so I've had to improvise by doing backwards kicks into the shower (almost knocked over the laptop a few times)...and damn there are a lot of pushups!!  I hurt in all kinds of places, but in the good, "that was an awesome workout" kind of way.   

My room.


My goal is to successfully complete the 90 days, become a fitness model (haha) and to maintain afterwards.  So far, I LOVE it!!  We'll see how long that lasts.   Wish me luck!!
