You make it what you put into it. That is the beauty of the BeachBody workouts. They almost always have a modified version of the exercises. And you can take it at your own pace. Just because Tony Horton can do 100 pushups in 60 seconds doesn't mean you have to. You may only do 5 the first time you do it. You may do daisies (on your knees). You may pause the video to catch your breath.
But you keep at it and keep trying and over time you will improve. Soon you'll be doing more pushups, more situps, and maybe even a pullup nearly unassisted.
P90X is pretty advanced, but the beachbody company has many video series. Slim in 6 is a good starting point for people. I have known people who have progressed thru the various series of videos. (although that can get expensive if you buy them).
The first time I lost weight (10 yrs ago) I used TheFirm videos and they did a fabulous job. Although I don't think I could stomach watching the skinny girls and their spandex and leg warmers and the music. But their newer series are a little more modern.
