Don't get it unless you are already in shape! If you are not currently running about an 8 minute mile or better for over 3 miles, this program might just kill you. I ain't joking. I'm waiting to hear reports of people who have died doing this program.
I'm in pretty darn good shape. I'm training for a half ironman (1.2mile swim, 54 mile bike, 13 mile run). Also, the first day is a fitness test there are a couple of very in shape looking people who completed the program taking the test as well- and I beat them on most of the tests- so I'm no slouch.
The first day (the only day I have done so far), is plyometercis (jumping moves). I have done P90X plyo, which is a solid work out (too much for many)....but this one...
Oh my. I loved to get my tail whooped in a work out, but this sucker was over the top for me. I had to pause it a couple times were there was not supposed to be a break to prevent vomiting on the carpet.
There were a couple times when I had to extend the recovery period by pushing pause because my HR was still 165 after 30 seconds (and I still felt like puking).
Basically, it's keeping you at your VO2 max for 4-5 minutes with a 30 second cool down. Kinda like doing hill sprints for 4-5 minutes (rather than 30-60 seconds) with only a 30 second break in the middle.
Anyhow, I'm looking forward to the results. But again- fair warning- don't start with this program if you are just getting into fitness!
