I remember after the first day of P90X when I was grossly out of shape.
My entire body fucking ached and I couldn't even get out of my chair 
Well that was three years ago! Now I have to work hard to get sore. |

After my firs 90 min Muay Thai class, I really thought I might die. Dizzy, couldn't catch my breath, etc. Could be I went into Crossfit pacing myself a bit instead of trying to go all out on the heavy bag from the jump

If your ass isn't kicked after every workout, you are doing it wrong.
 I can't really recall a session I wasn't on the floor for a few minutes afterward.
Major soreness will subside after the first week unless you injure yourself. Compete with yourself, not everyone else. |

prepare to be sore for approximately the first 3-4 weeks of doing it.
Then you get sore after particularly bad WOD's every now and then. |

Can anybody recommend a good physical training program for someone who is terribly out of shape after almost two years of laying off working out due to heart problems? No way I'm going to be able to start cross fit or any high-energy workout program, but I need to start somewhere to get back into shape after upcoming heart surgery. I've lost almost all my upper body strength plus most of my lower body strength as well, and I am no where in shape enough to go eight to ten miles in a long lunch hour run like I used to.
Anybody got any good recommendations? My ultimate goal is to get back to as near my peak form as possible Would I be a good candidate for working up to a crossfit program or should I look towards another program? |

What I did after my cardiac surgery ( 2 catheter procedures for A Fib and an open heart procedure to remove a growth from my aortic valve ) was LOTS of biking using a Heart Rate monitor to keep myself in a "zone" to build my cardiac endurance. After the open heart procedure the surgeon / cardo doc told me not to do ANYTHING for 6 months that would raise my HR. I followed his instructions to the T and put on 40 lbs in those 6 months. It has taken me 2 years to get back to where I started. I'm now trying to improve upon where I was and get back into BETTER shape than I was in in my 20s when I could drop down and knock out 80 pushups in 2 min. I think it is going to be an uphill climb! |

This is a precursor to P90X and will help you get in shape gradually. I started with P90X 60 lbs over weight and it was tough. I honestly couldn't do one pushup when I started. I lost 60 lbs in 6 months, went from a size 42 waist to a 33, and reduced my body fat from 27% to 13%. I could do 30 pushups in a row easily after P90X. Hell, I was even doing clap pushups. After P90X I did Insanity followed by P90X2 and Body Beast which I really like. Presently I'm doing a workout called Les Mills Combat. The key is to mix it up and not get bored with it. |

Tabata is not an actual exercise... it is a WAY of exercising. Same basic premise as HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) You can do Tabata/HIIT on any exercise. Its basis is multiple high intensity/slow intensity segments one after another for about 20-30 minutes. It is controversial, because everyone talks about EPOC (Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption) which is a theory that certain exercises will put you in a state AFTER exercise to continue to burn calories to a greater extent, regardless of the actual calories burned both during the exercise itself and the amount of calories burned in the post-workout activity. Something along the lines as 'the whole is greater than the sum of the parts' kind of thing. EPOC is controversial, because it's thought of in some ways almost 'religiously' and yet, there have been a couple pretty good studies out which have shown it to be a false assumption. Regardless, Tabata/HIIT is a good exercise system for pounding out a hard workout in a short amount of time. |

When you can walk a 20 min mile (3mph) increase the length of your walk to 3 miles and repeat. When you are walking 3 miles a day at 3MPH for a week... THEN think about getting in a gym. |

Once you get through your onramp, ask your coaches for a supplemental strength program (if the box does not have one). Go in 30-45 minutes before your class and complete your SWOD (Strength Workout of the Day). You should be doing something similar to "Starting Strength" (3x5 of Squat, Press, Bench, with 5x3 of Power Clean and 5rm of Deadlift, and then some heavy Front Squats, OHS, Thrusters, Snatch, ect). Make sure you learn the proper form before going heavy! 1-2 times every 3 day cycle is enough for SWOD, otherwise 2-3 times in a 5 day cycle. Again, I will say it... Form, Form, FORM!!! |
