Sue, thanks for the advise. I'm going to try some bw attempts at a few of the moves this weekend so I have a better idea of how they work. I'll definitely keep that in mind if I struggle with my balance.

Mini blizzards are the perfect size. I've never had a Sonic shake and I think that's probably just as well. I can't crave what I've never had. I'm finishing stage 1 tonight. I'm actually going to miss lifting during my rest week. I'm both excited and scared to move on to stage 2. I have terrible balance so some of the…

I just put all my remaining stage 1 and stage 2 work outs on my calendar to ensure that I'd be done with stage 2 right before my 4th of July vacation. It worked out perfectly. I'm very thankful that people at my gym just seem to ignore each other. I don't know if I'd have the confidence to deal with the crap your facing…

I was really intimidated when I started and still am to an extent. A few things really helped me. I watched a lot of videos for the different moves so i'd feel comfortable with them for the most part. Several weeks in to stage 1 I still watch new ones to refresh my memory. I wandered around the weight rooms a few days…

I am glad you mentioned this. I totally missed that the number of sets increases from 2 to 3 when you start the 10 rep exercises. Your post came just in the nick of time because I start them today.

I'm in a similar boat. I've sworn of most "intentional" cardio for now but since walking is my primary mode of transportation I still get 8-12k steps a day. At this point I feel like my body is so used to it that it doesn't really do much anyway. I've also been doing about 10 minutes of high incline walking after lifting,…

Lifting day here too. I'm looking forward to it. Today was my first day having a smoothie for breakfast. I'm pleasantly surprised to find that I'm still not hungry over two hours later. While I know it should have filled me up, my brain has a hard time comprehending that liquid = food. I usually crave something more…

Hello! Thanks for all the advice when I was first looking into it.

Hello everyone! I've been lurking a bit but this is my first chat post. This evening will be Stage 1 B4 for me. I am new to lifting and I really love it. I think the structure of NROL4W has been beneficial. I haven't dreaded going to the gym once since I started and that is very unusual for me. I just got some…

Hello everyone! I started NROLFW a little over a week ago and I am 5 work outs in. I am really enjoying the program! I have been working at losing weight for about 18 months now. I initially lost weight fairly easily with a mixture of cardio and a bit of upper body weights on the side. The last 10 months or so my weight…
