p90x Lean vs. p90x Classic - Why I chose Lean

OK, this time around i'm going to give p90x Lean a shot.  The first time I did p90x classic. I was 4 years younger, a little bit better fitness coming into the program.

The biggest difference I saw between Lean & Classic is that the Plyometric routine of Classic is replaced with CardioX in "p90x Lean".  

First of all, I LOVE the plyometrics routine!  But over the last 4 years I've lost a little bit of strength overall, have less leg strenth, weigh a little bit more and have had several 'knee' incidents over the past year.  Grinding and popping in my knee with some sticking.  I've decided to lose a little bit of weight first and gain some more general body strength before resuming teh plyo routine.

I may switch it out partway through and add plyo in for the 2nd training block, we'll see how it goes.

Tomorrow I"ll be taking my before photos, with a copy of the newspaper for 'proof', and doing my fit test and measurements.   

What will you be doing tomorrow?  :)
