Going into this, I had no workout routine in my life. I work out here and there, when I can and how I can. Sometimes it's power-walking, sometimes it's Spin, if I'm ambitious it's a run. Suffice it to say, making myself work out every day for 30 days was a daunting task, but the shorter workouts in the beginning made it seem less scary.
Keep in mind, though, that while these workouts aren't difficult per se, I would consider them slightly beyond a beginner workout. There were several things I just couldn't do because I didn't have the strength for them (this is where the modifications are a savior). I also modified a lot of moves because I live in a third-floor apartment in New York City and doing jumping jacks is a surefire way to get my downstairs neighbour to send the super to yell at me.
You will still get an excellent workout even if you're using the modifications. Don't feel bad for needing to use them.
What will keep this plan from working, though, is if you don't pair it with a healthy-eating routine. I had recently started a low-carb diet (not quite keto because it felt too extreme for me), and doing that in conjunction with this workout plan felt really comfortable for my body.
