I bought the program couple months back along with my new TV system that I put in the basement.

I consider myself in pretty good shape already when I started but still got owned by this when I first started. I think the pace that they do it was pretty intense, I found myself taking a lot of breaks.

Been doing it for 2 months and then stopped recently because life got too busy with work and other stuff and just doing basic cardio and hitting the gym once in awhile.
I don't do any of that stretching, and yoga etc stuff inbetween the workouts and don't follow the nutrition guide. I eat what I want so I guess my results can be a lot better if I did that.



Things I loved about the program:

- It's a VERY EFFICIENT workout. You get the maximum among of work in the minimal among of time.
- Very good for toning, good for the Brad Pitt in fight club look and not the meathead bodybuilder look.
- Awesome abs program.

Things I didn't like:

- Leg workouts were lacking some things. I think you still need to incorporate squads and deadlifts once in awhile.
- If you do this for a year - I can see myself getting bored. I guess you gotta do it for 90 days, then stop and do regular workouts for 6 months or so and then go back to another 90 day again.

Would I recommend it to my friends and family?

Yes, recommended it to my brother and some friends.
My brother is currently doing it and he had awesome results.
Friends are really out of shape so they really struggled the first 2-3 weeks, but now they seem to be getting the hang of it.
