Has anyone done Body For Life?

[swimnfit]

Just wondering if anyone has done BFL (or is currently doing it now) and if you followed it to the letter or improvised, and what kind of results you got. I just started this yesterday and so far so good. I'm trying to follow to the letter as much as possible, although I can't always work out in the morning. Did you give up Cathe for 12 weeks?

Thanks

I do BFL. I just finished my 12 weeks last week after being off working out for about 4-5 months. I was pretty close to my goal weight and got down to it in the 12 weeks, altho I'd like to firm up the old booty a bit In that time, I lost 5.5 lbs, 2.25" in my hips, 2.25" in my waist and 2" in belly button area. I do the first 12 weeks by the book. Give up my Cathe's for that time. Then I do a 12 week rotation of:

4 weeks S&H
4 weeks Pryamids
4 weeks by the book lifting

For cardio tho I do IMAX, IMAX2 or Intense Moves. It is okay to do interval training for cardio. Very similar to the 20MAS described in the book.

I'm allergic to mornings! I rarely workout in the morning. You will still get results. I do my cardio on my lunch hour. Wait one hour before working out and eat 30 minutes after...it's the only way it fits into my schedule. I do lifting at night or on my lunch hour.
