I'm doing this program at home. And I was wondering how many of you are as well. Would like to chit chat with you and maybe we can support and modify together.

I'm starting week 2 of stage 1 on Monday.

    I am, for the most part it's been fine. I have a barbell, dumbbells and the exercise ball. I don't have a bench, I just started stage 3. The wood chop things of stage 2&3 are kind of awkward for me, doing my home version, but otherwise I've been good.

    I work out at home too. I'm in the early part of Stage 1 also. My big problem so far is the cats watch me with that disapproving cat look their all so good at. :)

    Do you think that the results can be just as good as if we were doing this at the gym?

    I've had awesome changes, great results so far. I don't see why the results wouldn't be just as good, as long as you have a barbell and dumbbells, if you didn't have both, I'd maybe doubt if results would be as good.

    I work out at home too. I have a treadmiill, weight bench with barbell, dumbells (all different sizes) and an exercise ball. I make it work. I think it would be easier at the gym as there would be lots more choices but I've been doing good. I'm just finishing Stage 1 - preparing for Stage 2. Definitely noticed I'm stronger and can lift heavier. Will need to invest in some heavier dumbells soon.

    I'm right where you are. I have the same equipment and Im about to finish stage 1 this week, two more workouts left. I looked ahead at the stage 2 exercises and the look. . . Challenging I look forward to it though. I also need heavier weight.

    I also workout at home. I have a barbell, adj. weight dumbbells (up to 20lbs each) and the exercise ball. I am almost done with stage 1 and have noticed great results!

    I work out at home - am half way through Stage 3.

    I have a bench, barbells, dumbells, a rack, swiss ball and a treadmill. While not perhaps as good as a gym it means I can fit it around the rest of my life more easily and it's harder to ignore the gear all sitting waiting for me than it would be to simply not front up to the gym.

    I do it at home as well but the only thing I don't have is a squat rack. My hubby has to step in and assist me with that part.

    Hi ladies ... I'm doing it at home too, just started stage 2. I've been modifying to make it work and I've gotten great results so far. I can't make excuses as to why I didn't' get the workout done when they are all here waiting for me!!

    Here are some great alternatives to those who don't have a barbell or squat rack (like myself) to get through deadlifts and squats:

    Great post! I was just wondering the same about this! We have a piece of workout equipment that has a Lat Pull Down, Bench Press, Leg Extension, and some free weights. And from this post it sounds like that is enough for me to be able to follow this...??

    The only other thing you will need is an Exercise Ball (or as the book calls it, Swiss Ball).
