Hi Ladies:

Just wondering how long your stage 1 routine takes, I timed mine last night and it was 24 mins. I dunno, I'm used to being a cardio bunny and working out for 45mins+, i feel like I'm not doing enough.

Anyone else feel the same?

Anyone with awesome results, please feel free to tell!

    Thanks for asking this question. I take about 20-22 minutes for Stage 1, and I feel like I'm slacking!!! Oh, and at first I was losing weight really well, but now I've plateaued and this week the scale is going up! I'm ready to scream!!! But I will not give up! :explode:

    Don't worry they get longer and harder! Enjoy the "easy" workouts while you can! You will love the results, just keep going! :wink:

    Weight lifting can cause you to gain weight due to water retention in muscles. It's normal, so don't give up. The water weight should come off in a couple weeks.

    I gets progressively harder...my wife thought the same thing when she started and then I looked at the program and just told her to enjoy the "good times" while they last. It's kinda like the first few weeks of school...you know...before all the **** hits the fan. Pretty soon you'll be begging for your life if you do it right.
