Did I ever tell yall about this book?????? If not, READ IT!!! Lemme tell yall... it has these questions in the front and you basically answer them in journal form. They are really personal about yourself, so you have to be truthful. Then it asks you to set your goals of what you want to accomplish w/i the 12 weeks. Then it gives you the eating program (6 meals a day consisting of fist sized portions of 1 protien and 1 carb, you have to have a veggie with at least 2 of your meals, i think, i forget). Then it gives you the exercise regimen:
Day 1: Weight training, upper body (pics and instructions included in the appendix!!)
Day 2: 20 minute Interval aerobic training
Day 3: Weight training, lower body
Day 4: 20 minute interval aerobic training
Day 5: Weight training, upper body
Day 6: 20 minute interval aerobic training
Day 7: FREE DAY (NO EXERCISE AND EAT WHAT YOU WANT)
Now let me tell yall. I did this STRONG for a good 3 weeks. But I didn't do the food thing (it takes getting used to eating 6 times a day, even though the meals are small), I did Weight Watchers instead. My goals were to lose 20lbs and 4 inches off my waist. A good three weeks. I have been exercising here and there, that's it. But I stuck to my diet plan as well as I could. My 12 weeks will be up in about 2 weeks, I think. I've lost 18lbs and 3 inches!!! And yall, I SLACKED!!! If nothing else, his exercise program WORKS!!! I know someone PERSONALLY that did the program and lost TONS of weight!!! That's what made me get the book. But it works. And even though it's only 20 mins of aerobics, DON'T SLEEP, that interval training is NO JOKE!!!! You build muscle with the weights, that burns fat. Then you burn more with the aerobic activity. Oh, and at least 10 glasses of water, but supposed to drink half your weight in ounces. Ok, I'm rambling, and I really hope me or anyone else already talked about it... I didn't look at the whole thread... i'm lazy and trying to multitask, LOL!
But for real, get the book!!!!!!! Oh, and I don't fool with supplements. The BFL program offers them (especially for people who have a hard time with the 6 meals), but I'm str8.
