If you haven't been doing HIIT (high intensity interval training) style work-outs before, imma be honest and say yes. I had been doing HIIT and cross-fit style exercises for a few months before p90x. BUT the good thing about it is its done at your own pace and but you can still follow along and/or do it with a group. You will eventually work your way up. It is a commitment though. I would say your beginning level does not matter as much as your commitment level. If youre not committed to working out 6 days a week (sometimes 2xs a day) and eating 200% healthy (minimal sugar, minimal salt, lean meats, 1 cheat meal a week), i'd say don't do it. Its a lot of work and there are other exercises you can do in less time that will get the effects youre gonna get doing 90x if you half ass do it.

If you spin then youll be able to keep up.
As weird as it sounds, thats what i dont like...the soreness after working out.

running motivation

no excuses
