P90X, knee injuries and other thoughts

I tore my meniscus and did not get it treated right away, so now my knee is out of alignment.  Fun times.  I have to wear a brace that is pushing everything back into place and I'm supposed to stay off my leg as much as possible.  I can ride a bike at low resistance, and I can swim.  I can also do upper body, which I am doing, to the tune of P90X.  

My rotation consists of P90X Chest, Shoulders and Triceps and P90X Back and Biceps, with Ab Ripper X (I hate this, but man it works) and Cardio Coach and Spinervals on my bike (and the recumbent at work).  As I crave variety, it's a bit tough, but every time I start whining, I remember that I'm lucky to be doing anything at all.  

If you ever thought of doing P90X, but thought it was too tough, or too manly for you (if you're a girl), you might want to rethink that.  Yes, it takes a lot of dedication - an hour a day, 5 days a week - 90 minutes one day for yoga (honestly, though, I sub in other yoga as well) and it's tough.  But, it's a great, great workout, and will teach you how to put together a proper rotation to keep seeing results.  I have had P90X for 7 years now and it's still one of my go to workouts when I need something effective.  

Oh, and girls - you won't get bulky.  That's a myth.  You'll get long, lean and sexy with P90X and other heavy weight workouts.  :) 

If you want to try it - please click on the P90X link at the bottom of my page and order it.  If you are interested in a challenge group - we can do that, too.  Let me know by responding to the post and we can get one going.  By the way - if you already have P90X - you can join the group, too!  I'd love to have a fun group to workout with through my knee recovery.
