metabolism aftershock - Does it work?

I will keep you guys posted once I get it. I will continue my current exercise program, regardless of results. Just hoping it will enhance my current program. Maybe a good supplement for hectic weeks that swimming at the gym or walking the dogs are too much. Thanks for the feedback. Hoping someone who has actually tried it will respond.

I currently swim 3 days a week, I walk a 3 mile trail with my dogs at least once a week, I have dramatically changed my diet and have remained consistent for 60 days now and have lost 9 pounds. I am not looking for a miracle, I know there is no quick fix magic move or pill and will have to work for what I want. I also plan to start doing the dance revolution on Xbox once my kinect comes in. I just get bored easy and get discouraged with slow results when it comes to exercise, but my diet has done wonders for how I feel. I enjoy my cheat days, but I regret them the next couple of days. Even my cheat days (Sunday) are not as bad because the way it makes me feel is not worth the splurge. I also struggle with the fact my left elbow and left knee are damaged and I have to accommodate them when trying to exercise. The pool has helped them both, but I cant support my weight, push or pull with my left elbow. Doctor is talking about doing surgery since physical therapy is not helping. I have been rollerblading and riding my horse. I stay active, but routine exercise bums me out. The quick 15 minute workouts with encouraged rest is what pushed me over into buying it.

My arms and legs are jello. I did exercise 1A. So many squats, push ups and batmans. I have never hurt so good! My arms and legs still look pumped, I woke up in the best mood and I love the burn and ache when I walk and go to sit down. Feeling really confident and radiant today. I went ahead and watched the video for the next time, and my shoulders and hips already ache. Gonna be a tough one. I did much better than I expected to. My husband found it very challenging, too. I am really excited!

He stresses that a lot in the video as you go. I was much slower than the video. They get through 3 or 4 rotations of each movement, I usually only got 1.5 sets. I focused on form and soon had to go to my knees from full push up position. I am very serious about doing this right and getting the most benefit I can, safely. I was very worried I would not be able to do the squats and push ups due to bad knees and an elbow injury, but taking my time and focusing on the form and keeping tight kept me from rushing and over burdening my joints. I did not realize how much difference it makes to put all your weight in your heels while doing squats, rather than the ball of your foot. He is very good at reminding you throughout the video to keep your own pace, keep proper form, rest and go to the beginner modifications as needed. I am sure it will get annoying as I advance, but right now, the constant reminders to not get sloppy trying to rush and push hard/rest hard are helpful right now.

Well, I was great with the back, ab and arm exercises....sucked balls at lunges and squats. Took the time to do LOTS of stretching afterwards. However, I feel great this morning. thighs are still sore when going up and down stairs, but otherwise ok. Feel the burn while walking and going to sit down, but I keep flexing and stretching. The back of my biceps are speaking to me today. I only did two of the dive bomber push ups, then had to go to my knees to modify, but I made it! I only got one set of 4 in, while the video got in 2 or three, but I focused on form and not speed. Not bad. Was kinda shocked how fast it went. That 15 minutes flew by. Husband hurt his back at work so did not participate, but he watched me and critiqued my form. Other than squats, I nailed it! Maybe next time my legs will be ready and not give out on me.

Thanks! I will look into the BeachBody thing. I like variety to keep me from getting bored. I have a bunch of videos in storage, once I lose another 10 pounds or so I will get them out. Right now, I do low impact stuff like swimming, walking, roller blading, zumba and this program. I think that once I get down to around 190 I can start increasing the impact slightly. Taking it slow to avoid injury.

Back from vacation. Starting tonight, I finally have the time and ability to go hard core on this program, starting tonight when I get home from work. After that, I am going grocery shopping to get healthy snacks and meals to go with the program. Taking my before pics tonight and will take them each month.
