Ha ha! I've been doing something orange and martial arts-related for months now, just picking and choosing from a bunch I downloaded.

I love you P90X
Highly recommended- some Disks are easy- most are very difficult

We should start a group here because I will be curious to see how this will negatively/positively affect my running.

3 office duffsitters I work with tried P90X 3-4 monthes ago. They all lasted about 2 monthes and then 2 of the 3 ended up hurting their backs. The 3rd gave up due to lack of company. I would sit in on the easier stuff, the yoga and stretching. It is pretty intense stuff and if you aren't active or used to that sort of thing, it seems like it could be conducive to injury.

I was intersted in P90X based on things I heard. Rumors if you will.
I clicked on this thread to learn more.
I didn't read anything after this post from page 1 because P90X is now dead to me.
they have tons of disclaimers about how intense it is... and they recommend you pass a fitness test before you even start it. I am sure that people get injured, but I just think you have to be smart about it. Don't do the exercises with poor form... easier said than done, though.
Well, that's a problem/risk with lots (all, probably) of the do-it-in-your-living-room dvd programs... exercising with poor form leading to injury. Not just this. Yoga is notorious for that...
I haven't gotten into P90X mostly because it sounds like a watch or a gps.
(ok, not really. Last year, it just sounded like The Next Big Trend. And it has been. Bets being taken on what's next.)
I've got a fever...
I'm placing my bet on P91x.
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

There's already P90x+ but it's designed to be sort of a "maintenance mode" thing after doing P90x.
This is their new hardcore program.
