It is very intense! You might want to google the fit test and see If you can do it. If you can't, try Power 90. It is the lowest level of Beachbody.

I'm actually doing the p90 now it's not as intense and I still get in a good workout. After this I'm going to go to the p90x I think you should try this one

I've done P90X a couple times. It is intense - however you can tailor it to you & your level. I didn't even bother with the fit test. If you can't do pushups on your feet do them on your knees, if you can't do pull-ups yet you can use the bands attached to your door.

I think it's totally worth it. I've done the program on 1200 calories/day - but I was wondering about doing it on so few calories, but again you can tailor it to your fitness/energy level. Tony Horton has low impact or modified moves for almost everything. So I do recommend the program if you're interested in really working hard. His Power 90 is a pretty good workout as well.

I have also done P90X and it is in intense. The thing that discouraged me most of the time was not the exercise, but the amount of time that you had to devote. Some of the workouts are like 40 minutes, but then he wants you to pop in the ab video for another 30 minutes and the yoga video is a full 90 minutes. If you have the time, I say go for it, but it was a little too much of a time committment for me. I have seen him recently on an infomercial where he has a new program and the videos are 10 minutes in length. I'm sure you stack multiple workouts on in a day to get what he calls "muscle confusion" If you google Tony Horton or Beach Body, I'm sure you will find it. Good luck and in the words of Tony Horton, "do your best and forget about the rest"

You can download all of the P90, P90X etc. online. Worth doing. They are very good programs and you can always modify. Just keep moving :)

@Erin6573 - you're totally correct - it is a big time commitment. I think that is why I never made it through the full 90 days. I'm thinking when I have the surgery and have been cleared for lifting - once I start to see a stall I may add 1 P90X workout into my workout a week just to try to prevent a plateau or get me out of one. I'll see. But definitely - the time commitment is huge!!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
