I have till January. It is currently August so about 5 months to go from fat to fit and I mean all fitness aspects if I started. I know the programs have different intensities from like 1 to 5 If I started at level 1 and did a higher intensity program every month, which programs should I pick to accomplish a goal? I also have bad posture that needs to be corrected
Can anyone help me pick about five programs each with a higher level intensity?

Without doing some sparring you won't be able to do it no matter how great the Darebee fighting programs are and I'm telling you this with thirty years of martial arts training.
That said, I'd go straight for combat programs if one of your goals is to learn how to move a certain way. They're excellent training programs in themselves, so you'll improve your conditioning and even learn some combat moves along the way.
The order of difficulty is this:

These are just a few scattered ideas.
Thanks. I meant having the fitness to be able to defend myself. I'm already taking a boxing class where I spar regularly but I've got so many posture and joint issues and I'm trying to figure out my conditioning outside of there. I will work up to these programs but I sound like if you start it from like the level 1 programs on intensity that things like square One is the name of one of the programs and then went to level two, three, four and five. How would I do it? I also am working 70 hours a week and have a family so I'm trying to figure out how to do it around that too. But thank you for respondingWithout doing some sparring you won't be able to do it no matter how great the Darebee fighting programs are and I'm telling you this with thirty years of martial arts training.

This is the first one to do because it has a demonstration video for each day, which is very very helpful.Combat HIIT

From this perspective, I can tell you that Darebee's combat workouts are much gentler on the body; you can adjust the intensity, and the end result is still good physical condition.
I used Darebee's programs for years without doing anything else, and when I returned to the gym to take a Muay Thai class, I was doing better than guys half my age. So, yes, Darebee's training works, and very well.
If I understand correctly, what you want to do is start with level 1 programs and then increase the difficulty. That's a good idea; I did the same: I started with programs I was capable of doing and then increased the difficulty.
Maybe try taking this test to understand how you are physically positioned:

It's a bit difficult to give you a precise schedule of programs to follow because there are so many and a lot depends on personal tastes. It's important to do a workout you enjoy because it really helps you persevere.

Five months is definitely enough time to make noticeable progress, but it’ll take consistency and a balanced approach, especially since you want to address both fat loss and overall fitness. Starting at level 1 makes sense to build a foundation, but as you move up, it’s important to listen to your body — you don’t want to push too fast and risk injury. For posture, incorporating mobility and corrective exercises alongside your main program is key; things like core strengthening, back stretches, and shoulder stability work can make a big difference. Are you planning to follow one program continuously each month, or mix different types of workouts like strength, cardio, and mobility?
