How do they do it? (Biggest Loser type progs)

From Day 1 they are pretty much chucked in at the deep end and expected to exercise like a crazy person.

Pruhealth & Virgin Active
I've never been a gym goer as I've always worked out at home using p90x, Insanity and similar. However, 2 years of doing that fairly relentlessly has ruined my knees.
