  • Great point, rarely should food be thought of as a reward. Our perspective on food determines a great deal of our outcome.

  • Don't fret the second first week. I think it actually helps to do a few of the workouts 3-4 times the first week and then really commit. I'm on month 2, second week now and it really gets addictive if you commit to it. I wasn't seeing the scale move much at first but after realizing I've dropped 3 inches off my waste, the…

  • One thing to add for those like me that didn't read the manual: THE BATTERY WILL DIE OR NOT TRANSMIT CORRECTLY in a couple days if you do not unsnap the transmitter from the chest piece as soon as you are done.

For your rough estimate numbers per the hr monitor I burn 540-580 on the plyo circuit, 490-540 on the pure cardio, and in the 500-530 range on cardio power circuit. On the recovery day I've been in the 190-210 range. I finished week three today,…

  • I log the recovery workout as Yoga. To me that seems like the most accurate description. A heart rate monitor would likely give the most precise caloric measurement but I really don't like wearing them.
