If you're thinking of having "Get in Shape" as one of your New Year's resolutions, my I humbly recommend CrossFit? No matter what shape you're in, this program will make you better... if you follow it. This program was used to get the guys in shape for "300." This is also an exercise program that can be done by kids and older seniors. It's all about scaling. (By the way, the guy doing the training in this video is 61! The woman he's training? She's 77.)
Scale workouts to fit your current fitness level. However, if you find the workouts are too easy, then you probably need to ratchet up the weight/intensity. This means make them challenging. Of course, most of the workouts are done as a race against the clock, so you can always try to go faster and harder. Don't take it easy on yourself and you'll be impressed with the results.
CrossFit is quite a bit different from other types of workouts. It's not a mind numbing routine. One thing it does emphasize is a definition of fitness that is broad, general and inclusive of many different types of sports and activities.
If you want to get in shape, and you don't want to be bored, give it a try.
