My name is David. I am a 31 year old computer programmer. I have bad knees and a lower back pain, which I've always had. I attribute the back pain to poor posture and being 6'3" in a world that was designed for short people. The knees seem to be worse than I remember, and I'll attribute that to age, and that I am now pushing 250lbs.
In high school, and through college I maintained a 200 to 210 weight. Then I got a desk job, stopped moving, and had work instead of school. Like I stated, I'm now 250, and by BMI standards that puts me into the obese category. My father has developed Type 2 diabetes, and I want to loose the weight to put less stress on my body, and hopefully avoid that, as well as other things.
I recently got P90X from a co-worker who it was too tough for. I'm going to give it a try, as a friend dropped a bunch of weight with it and was happy with it. I've heard it will kick my ass, and be painful, but my current path won't get me where I need to be.
We currently have a treadmill and a weight bench. I have been using the treadmill for 20 minutes and then 20 or 30 of different arm based weight lifting a couple nights a week, but I want to step up my game. I'm planning on getting things setup, watching the first video without doing it so I know more about what's coming, and aren't constantly watching the TV while trying to do the routines. Then the process is setup for 7 days a week (7th day being rest or stretch) for 13 weeks, or 91 days. Hopefully I can keep up with it.
