Really, it is extreme.But, one of the good things about it is that many of the workouts aren't undoable at a low-level of beginning fitness. You might only be able to do 6 reps of the exercise, while the people on TV are doing 25. I'd suggest doing the fit test before investing, if you have any doubts:<a href="http://www.beachbody.com/text/products/programs/p90x/p90xFitTest.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.beachbody.com/text/products/programs/p90x/p90xFitTest.pdf</a>Here's how I did with my beginning fit test:<a href="http://www.totalbullgrit.com/2010/02/22/p90x-fit-test-and-first-workout/" target="_blank">Total Bullgrit</a>Note there were a couple of the tests I didn't "pass" before I began the program.But but, there are some exercises that can be hard on the joints. Plyometrics (jump training) comes to mind. *I am not a doctor,* but I think unless you have some kind of damage/injury to your joints, you should be ok with the exercises if you do them properly.I wouldn't suggest P90X unless you are interested in going into something hardcore. If you aren't willing to push yourself, and keep it up for weeks on end, it's a waste. I've learned of at least three people I know who have started the regimen, but didn't complete it.Bullgrit</blockquote>
