hello fellow P90Xers!

Today I recieved my EXTREME home fitness program aka P90X. I'm really excited about this and ready to kick some butt. A little bit about me, I'm 17 years old (turning 18 on august!).......This iphone edge connection is pissing me off! Sorry about that. Like I was saying I'm 17 looking at 5'10" and weighing approximately 178 lbs (just hit the scale today ). I have to say I am in the best shape now that I have ever been. And guess what, I'm unsatisfied with my appearance (someday, hopefully, I will be honored to be considered a Spartan........). so I'm all hyped up about this.

I'm looking forward to taking the fitness test tomorrow just need to stop by and buy a heart rate watch, plyometric mat and some protein bars at a local store. I'm planning to do my workouts early in the morning around 5 am. Considering that I still have 2 more weeks of school and going to be working during summer vacation. I work from 7am - 7pm (my fathers landscaping business, looking forward to finding a different job when I go to college) well the first thing I looked at was the nutrition plan and I'm pretty much having the most trouble trying to set up my weekly schedule on what I will be grubbing on. I'm looking around to get some tips for my plan. I'm not stressing out considering I just got It today. But I will have it ready by Monday because I know it is an important role of the program. Well I will be starting on Monday and will post some recent pictures soon hopefully my Internet is working by Monday so I don't have to use this crap edge......

Just wanted to say to be careful with those protein bars. There are some good ones out there, but you have to look closely because some of them have more sugar than protein in them.

That said- glad you've decided to join. I'm roughly the same size as you (just 7 years older) and my official start date will be Monday as well. Hopefully we can push each other.

Thank you for the precaution. I have been reading around the forum a bit, since I just joined yesterday. I seen a few other members are also starting on Monday, May 26. I will definately be checking up on your progress mailbox and giving you feedback aswell so it can keep us pumped up throughout the whole 90 days. Seriously I started feeling all pumped up from just reading around the forum, imagine how I'll feel when I'm already working out. Well I'll keep in touch daily so I can give and recieve this great support. For those of you who are already on it just remember, keep pushing PLAY!

Welcome

a word of advice watch the dvds before starting, it's helpful. and if you have time try doing one of the exercises i recommend Plyometrics only because it's the toughest.

Sparta Bound!

Thanks for the tip les, I will be looking forward to watching the videos before i start to see what I'm going to be doing so I won't be too worried when I start my official day

I heard about you guys making a Spartan army, I will be looking forward to joining the army in the future.
