p90x_red_97_DVDYes, yes – the informercial for P90X is designed to attract people. But honestly, it’s a good informercial. :P I am tempted, so it has done it’s job.

But really, what do you think? Should I give it a go?

Pros:

  • Now is a great time to commit to something like the P90X program. It’s a good time to take action and make a big change in my life. Goodness knows I’ve been griping about my fitness level for a long time.
  • It is portable. Since I travel a lot, this is very convenient. Most hotels do have fitness centers, but they generally suck and/or have creepy strangers in there that make me feel uncomfortable. So mostly, I won’t go to hotel fitness centers.
  • It is hard core. I enjoy the low impact workouts for their benefits and the mental/emotional peace they provide. To really effect a change in my physique, I need heavy duty to challenge me in addition to that.

Cons:

  • I already have a gym membership. I’d like to keep going there at least twice a week, if only for the classes and the pool. I also like several types of equipment they have that give me a workout I can’t do at home.
  • I already do a pretty good job of working out at home and have a couple of fitness dvds and whatnot that supplement my workouts. Do I really need another one?

I am undecided. It is tempting, for sure.
