well I started today yay! I underestimated it after reading o other peoples reactions to stage 1 being quick, and not so taxing. It was quick but very taxing. I did all the exercises, and used a barbell instead of dumbells as the dumbells in my gym are too heavy too lift. My gym is split upstairs and downstairs. all the cardio stuff is upstairs with the barbie dumbells and machines, and all the barbells and free weights are downstairs.
so, did all the sets and reps required, and found the step ups with a barbell quite tricky, and could feel my abs locking up to stabilise so they got a workout too. could not do the jack knifes, so ended up doing modified push ups on them, then hope to work up to the knifes from there. must say i got a few odd looks, but who cares, i dont see anyone upstairs lifting the barbie weights with any sort of physique or real strength.
cant wait to progress with this, so i can lift some proper dumbells
