Commitment

I'm trying to figure out what exercise regime to go with. My mom uses Jillian Michaels, which is a 30-day thing which she just continued after the 30 days. She's been doing good on it, but I'm concerned that my raging knee problems lately would be tough to get around because it doesn't offer any low-impact alternatives for knee problems. That and I think that it would be easier to lose motivation on that one--I'm not a huge fan of watching peppy girls prance around, you know?

My brother's recommending P90X, which is incredibly more intense than that one. It's a very big commitment, that one, and I do worry a little that it would be too much for me. I did the fitness "test" that accompanies it and I passed (though I can't do any pullups, but it notes that it isn't absolutely necessary for that one. It wasn't a hard test, though (15 from-the-knee-up pushups, jumping vertically, etc.), but I think that knowing how far gone some people are it really could be a challenging test for some people. It looks like it offers low-impact options. The biggest problem for me is how long it is per day. I don't know if I could do that one until I figure out my work schedule and see the hours I'd be working and such.

I could make up my own routine, but I just don't know where to start and I'd rather get in on a program and deviate and adjust it to my needs than to make my own from scratch.

Still watching my food options. Yesterday was weird--I was hungry every couple of hours! I'm hoping my stomach slows down today. >.>
