Yeah, I couldn't remember the name of the diggy machine either. Not Bulldozer, that's the pushy one. Could it be "The Claw?"

I was doing a Jillian workout sort of transiently before I picked up NROL4W and really went for it. Here's what she had me doing:
4 days of lifting, each day is different. 3 sets of 15.
Monday - Pushups, squats, chest flyes, sumo squats, bench dips, leg extensions, lateral raises, jumping jacks (1 min.), basic crunches, tricep extension, jump rope (1 min.), scissors
Tuesday - Wide-grip lat pulldown, stiff-legged deadlifts, medium-grip cable row, static lunges, back extensions, hamstring curls, dumbbell curls, jumping jacks (1 min.), bicycle crunches, concentration curls, jump rope (1 min.), russian twists
And Thursday and Friday would be a whole different set of exercises.
I remember suffering just as much as during Alwyns workouts, but I don't think I was progressing in strength as quickly. It was definitely an ass-kicking workout and I was exhausted after. Took me about an hour.
So 4 days of lifting, no HIIT, and 1 hour of high-intensity steady state cardio once a week. I was only doing it for a week or two, so I can't really judge the results. She does have you count calories and calorie cycle, so her biggest focus is on weight loss, I think.
Whereas Alwyn and Lou and Cassandra just want to make you into some sort of Amazon cyborg mortal goddess. Which is okay with me.
