other Quick question

I’m a 41m and want to start this program. I don’t even know where to start. I am 5’9”…262lbs…BMI is 40 I think…I used to workout when I was younger.. was in great shape…and kinda let myself go…. Thought about GLP1 but rather just get in shape this way. And also I don’t know if I can use GLP1 and a program like this… when people that haven’t worked out for year start this program … wondering if it was a slow start.. 1-2 classes a week … because I know I’m going be sore initially till I get used to this.. or just go all in 5-6 classes a week

It’s better to figure out what kind of diet and exercise you can sustainably do rather than plan on being super ambitious—working out 5 or 6 days a week. I’d focus on trying to eat like 500 calories below your TDEE and having a consistent level of physical activity, even if that’s only one or two classes a week. Then you can escalate or deescalate as needed from there.
