It is a DVD by jillian michaels, there are quite a few people on here that have done it or are doing it. Search for topics 30 DS :bigsmile: It is a programme where you do 3 levels of fitness over 30 days, it combines strength, cardio and abs and is only 20 mins a day.

Damn!!! That's impressive! Well done!

I like that, I like that a lot!!!! Sounds to me like he is insecure about his own weight!!! Tell him to sling his hook!! My ex husband use to call me lard *kitten*....hence why he's my EX!! Lol!! :huh:

I have a pic that I use, sorry the writing not very clear but you can see by the diagram where you should measure.
