in Fitness and Exercise
I am on week 2 of the Body by you. I don't have money for a gym membership or "heavy" weights/barbells. The Body by You allows me to use "body weight". I am doing about 30 mins of walking/jogging on my off days. I am able to do the full 12 reps of each exercise in my time allowed intervals. I guess I should advance to the next exercise? Right?

Also, I would like to know, is this really effective? I am doing TDEE - 20% (1856) for calorie intake. I am 201pds, 5'6, 46.3% body fat (according to fit 2 fat military calculator).

    Maybe start another post entitles - You are your own gym'. This I think is more popular. Have you searched on the forums for older threads.

    I just ordered this book (should be here today or Monday) and will do it! I've heard great things about it though so hoping it will help build some strength!

    Yes, if you can do all twelve reps X2, then move up.
    I'm on week 4 and love it. I'm definitely getting stronger. I'm not sure I can see any physical changes yet, but I'm eating at a deficit (also TDEE-20%), so I am not expecting to build muscle, just protect LBM whilst losing fat.
    Good luck and enjoy.

    Edit: meant to add, you don't have to wait until you can do all four exercises before moving on, you can go up on one whilst staying the same on others. For example, I am stronger on my legs than arms so have progressed more with the squats and bending than with the pulling and pushing.
