I've been thinking of getting this myself and starting it, but although I see a lot of positive comments on it, is it really worth the money and do you have a workout partner to keep you motivated?
I am on week 4- no weight loss yet .... My body looks slimmer but the scale is up... I know about water retention and all that, but 4 weeks in and no weight loss ? did this happen to any of you guys ? I love the program, and i can see that endurance is much much better, i can do stuff that couldn't do the first few weeks. but the freaking scale isn't moving :huh:
Except for that total body circuit work out in the alpha round. Ugh!!
^ I start week 5 of Alpha today. Down 8 lbs so far. No idea on inches yet. Haven't measured. It's tough but it works. The Alpha phase is very focused on lower body. Be weary of your calfs and achilles. I tweaked my achilles in week 2 doing the high kicks in Alpha cardio. Don't push yourself to hard to early. I also recommend doing a "zero week" which you just do the week 1 schedule of videos at 75% intensity and let your body get over it's initial soreness. Then repeat week 1 at full intensity. Going full out from the start is going to be a tough transition for your lower body.
Mine should be arriving in the mail today, and was planning on starting Monday, but this seems like sounds advice, I may try to get a workout or two in this week yet to lessen the pain of next week. Thanks for the tip.
Except for that total body circuit work out in the alpha round. Ugh!! I dread that one. I'm on the final week of Alpha and I have to do it three times this week including tonight! The oblique knee pushups at the end are just plain evil!
