Thank you all for your help and advice whilst I have been doing stage 1.

I have decided after reading and researching a lot that I will not be doing Stage 2 but I will be attempting Strong Lifts 5x5. As I work out in the morning, I wanted something nice and simple - stage 1 was, but stage 2 looks more complex and time consuming.

Hope you all have fun and thank you so much for your help and tips along the way

    You must tell more? Why no Stage 2? I start stage 2 very soon and I want to know your reasons :smile: . You can message me if you don't want it "public".

    Thanks :)

    Nothing major - just the time I have read that it has taken people and how some have found further along in the programme more complex.

    I like stage one - as its fairly simple, and at 5.45 in the morning I NEED simple. Looking at the exercises further along, when it calls for balancing on one leg during one exercise, I just something that is simpler so that I can focus more on form and less about remembering what comes next.

    I have really enjoyed stage one and I may go back to it when I have more time. I work out in the morning to avoid going when it is busy, but it has given me LOADS more confidence since starting it! I never thought I would be able to walk around the weights bit AND move things!!

    How are you finding it? xxx

    I have loved it so far. I finish Phase 1 this week. I move to phase 2 next.

    I considered moving to Strong Lifts. Keep me posted on how you like it. I would really like to finish the whole program, just to say that I finished something, lol. I tend to be ADD and I lose focus with one thing and move on. I REALLY want to stick it out as a test of discipline.

    The timing for me on Stage 2 went as follows: Work out A started at 40 minutes, then 35, the last two were 30 minutes. Workout B started at 50 minutes, then forty minutes and the two were 35 minutes. I did not do the interval training. The times of my first try of both workouts were longer as I learned the routine. Hope this helps!
