There's a lot of these high energy, supposedly rapid benefit classes out there, but very few people stick with them because it's just unrealistic, they are not aimed at people who are not already at a certain level of fitness. Personally I question the qualifications of some of these people leading these classes if they don't check peoples basic fitness before accepting them in a class.I'd say that you really need to ease yourself back into things. There's no fast fix as such, but once you start you will be surprised at how soon you will start to see and feel a difference, probably within weeks rather than months if you watch your diet at the same time. I can only really speak for myself but when I decided to try and get my fitness back (March or April this year I think it was, I waited three weeks for my waterrower to arrive) I could manage only 10 minutes on the rowing machine, now I can do an hour of rowing intervals without any problems, yesterday I did a 25mile run out on the bike and I feel so much better than I thought I could back when I started, so it's worth sticking with it even if you don't see immediate benefit.Keep it up, and don't get disheartened too easily</blockquote>
