Cynthia, thanks for sharing this - looks interesting! Can't wait to hear what you think!
How much info does it give in the nutrition guide? Is it pretty thorough?
I think the nutrition guide is very easy to follow with a good variety of meal choices. It's broken down into 5 meal sections and you choose one meal from each section. There is a substitution list for ingredients if you need or want to switch out. I do not like cottage cheese so I look to the list and the guide's substitution list consists of- low fat yogurt, milk(skim,almond,soy), egg, peanut butter, or low fat cheese.
This diet is very doable. Instead of decreasing calories in the 2nd phase, you increase!
I just previewed Cardio Power and Resistance. It is very similar in structure to the Plyo Circuit(sneak peak workout). Each section is done 3 times gaining speed each time.
Side note: After completing Plyo Circuits and previewing Cardio Power/Resistance, I think Cathe's 4DS will fit in nicely.
Here is the breakdown( think plyometric):
Jog
Power Jacks
Log Jumps
123 Hiesman
Butt Kicks
High Knees
vertical jumps
30 second rest- repeat 2x's gaining speed
Stretch
Power Jumps
Belt Kicks (squat- stand and kick)
Hit the Floor (side lunges)
V push-ups (pike push-ups
30 second rest repeat 2X's
Tricep dips
one leg tricep dips
ball push-ups
30 second rest
Hurdle Jumps
Globe Jumps
Moving push-ups
Floor sprints(mountain climbers)
30 second rest repeat 2x's
Final circuit
8 hops squats
8 push ups
X's 4
cool down.
Workout is approximately 40 minutes
