I have done it...its amazing. I went from 158 to 147 in the 12 weeks but I lost 19.5 inches. I was sooo strong. Its started my bodybuilding facination.....after getting married and having a kid...the way my life is right now I can't do Body For Life...I've tried twice...I wish I could because I LOVE the program.
This program is VERY hard and not for the timid....but it truly does change your body!0 -

I second that sentiment. I really enjoyed it and learned alot along the way as far as exercise regimens go.0 -
Attempting the BFL program in any amount will benefit you. I gradually started it & maintained as much as I could...better to do something than nothing.0

My husband and I did it for only 8 weeks and it was great. But the holidays hit and we fell. Now we live where we don't have access to the weights like we did. But it is a great program and the book is wonderful and if full of good information0

it sounds great! being not very knowledgeable about exercise, do u reckon it would be ok to do both cardio and weights on the same day, so working out hard three times/wk. then on the other two days i could do pilates and a walk or similar? just cant get to the gym itself six times/week.
thanks guys appreciate it!0 -

My regimen is as follows:
Monday - 30 minutes cardio, upper body weights
Tuesday - 1 hour cardio
Wednesday - 30 minutes cardio, lower body weights
Thursday - 1 hour cardio
Friday - 30 minutes cardio, upper body weights
alternate upper and lower following week
This is not exactly by the book but along the lines somewhere. Yes..you can do cardio and weights and you do not have to be as strict as the book says. I altered my workouts to fit my lifestyle and it shouldn't be a big deal if you do too.0 -
Let me just say that you need to compensate more exercise with more calories. I ran into this problem....I would do Cardio in the morning, weights after work and then back to the gym for an hour of medium cardio at 8pm at least 4 nights a week.....I gained weight....more specifically I gained FAT. So just make sure if you are working out twice in one day, add an extra meal.
Also, I found it really hard to get to my FULL 10's if I would do HIIT and then do weights afterwards. If you spread them out ie, morning then evening...you should be okay...but the point of doing it on different days is so you can give it you ALL.0
