Wife here…
I just finished my workout for today – the second installment of the Legs & Back routine. Its amazing how quickly your body responds to this system from everything from Chest & Back to Ab Ripper X. When I first started I could only do about 1/2 of the Ab Ripper sequence – now I can do all of the moves except for the V-Rollups the entire 25 reps. Its only been 12 days! Amazing!
Last week, I could only do 1/2 of the leg exercises before my right quad and ham would give-out. This week I did 3/4 of them. I see improvement! I also lost 3lbs last week – not really on purpose.
The nutrition part is difficult because I don’t seem to eat enough calories. To be honest – that might be the hardest part of the entire program.
Just to help you out – we’ve found a really awesome, free worksheet a guy named Damon did and posted the link on the right. Many people construct elaborate excel sheets and then require you to purchase them – not worth it. This one rocks – definitely check it out!

EDIT by Husband: 05/19/2009: The link to the spreadsheet my wife mentions has stopped working, so we updated the link to one that does work. Here’s a review of the aforementioned spreadsheet.

FYI – purchase the adjustable dumbbells that my husband talked about earlier. Your body will adjust to the exercises so quickly that making sure you “feel the burn” that Tony requires means spending a ton of money on additional weights. If you have limited space like we do, the adjustable dumbbells make the best sense – space and practicality-wise. They are a little more expensive on the front end – but if you’re committed to doing this stuff – then you know its only a drop in the bucket when it comes to changing your lifestyle!
