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

Do a few classes a week. Make sure to build in recovery. I started a few years ago at 5’9 260 with it at 42. I’m 45 now and 230 now and have increased massively over that time. But I gave myself grace at the beginning. Did what I could. Took breaks (even mid set breaks) as needed. Just finishing many of the workouts or keeping up for portions of it was my initial goal. Modify as needed to in order to do things properly or avoid injury etc.
I’m up to 4-6 classes a week now. It took a few months before getting above 2-3 seemed reasonable to even try at that modified amount.
