    I like her workouts. But why pay $9.99? She posts free workouts everyday....

    I would like to follow a program, let someone else (better informed) decide the best sequence and process. I don't think $9.99 for 8 weeks is much to spend, and I don't mind supporting a great service.

    @jojoeastcoast‌ , I did not lose much weight with it, merely 2-3 kgs. But I lost inches all over. Within 2 months, my husband (who typically sees me everyday, lol) said that I looked slimmer. Also, the program is great for cardio conditioning and building overall strength too. My shoulders and back have never looked more chiselled, and I can atleast do 7-8 full form pushups at a go now :)

    For 10$ it is a steal given no workout is repeated and since experienced trainers have decided upon a schedule, a lot of risk w.r.t injuries resulting out of overuse/ less rest can be ruled out.

    That's perfect @tgoila --- I have some weight to lose (about 10-15lbs), but I don't expect it to come off in 8 weeks (hopefully in 15 though!)... but getting in better shape, improving my endurance and increasing my energy are definite goals with this program!

    I checked it out and just bought it! I have to wait until after Easter to start so I can buy my own dumbells, but it looks so exciting! Please, share your progress!

    @katiely95‌ Will do! A local BFF is doing it with me. I'm excited! I just did Day 2 of their free 5-day challenge and loved it (even though I am sore from Day 1)!

    Bumping this as I'm starting this week and still looking for accountability buddies!

    I'll post the (laughable) results of the starting fitness test when I complete it. :)

    One more question...do you know what kind of dumbells are needed? Lighter for endurance, or heavy for strength?

    From what I've seen so far, their motto is lift as heavy as you can. Reps seem to vary from 8-12 for strength. There are deadlifts so you may want some heavier ones. I have 5, 8, 10lbs pairs and then bars/plates for heavier but I haven't needed them yet, lol.

    Thank you! They just say "dumbells" in the description. No mention of what weights may be needed.

    I haven't looked too far ahead at the workouts, but I'm guessing it is similar to those in their 5-Day Challenge for Busy People and I just completed day 4 of that. :)

    Reporting my starting fitness test results:

    I don't have a treadmill and the weather is crap so instead of the 1 mile run I recorded how many steps I could do in 20 mins of my elliptical at a level 2 resistance:

    2382 steps in 20 mins
    15 half push-ups
    70 squats (thought I injured myself on that last one!)
    63 second full static plank
    -0.8" stretch

    Measurements:
    Bust: 40.5"
    Belly: 38" (2 fingers below my navel)
    Hips: 41"
    Weight: 154lbs

    Yep, I'm an apple...
