So um, I've been gone a while, lol. Went back to work full-time to a really stressful job in 2013 and nearly stopped working out since that happened. Have gained a few pounds as well.

Anyway, I've come back to my senses and am trying to kick things off with BodyBoss after seeing their ad for the hundredth time on FB. Anybody else giving it a try? The reps are kind of endless which I don't love, but otherwise I actually liked the first week so far.

Thanks! It's a booklet or online access to a booklet with a 12 week plan. No DVDs that I am aware of. I used to be a DVD only girl but I seem to magically be ok with paper workouts now, lol!

Hi counterclockwise! Are you still enjoying this program? I've been eyeing it up as it looks interesting. Although I need another workout system like I need a hole in the head TIA!

Hi, I only just started week 2, but yes I am!

The general format is this:

1) 3 body-weight/cardio workouts per week. The first focuses on lower body and cardio, the second focuses on upper body, core, and cardio. I don't really get the third one, but it's a 6 minute non-stop total body circuit and that's it. Not sure why it's so short.
2) For the first two workouts, you do a 7 minute nonstop circuit, followed by 3 minutes of rest. You do that exact same thing (same circuit) two more times, for a total of 3 times through.
3) There are a lot of reps per exercise. For example, 25 pushups, or 30 sumo squats.
4) They suggest cardio on the days you don't do the body-weight workouts.

Cons: Lots of reps per exercise, repeating the same circuit per workout, you can't print off the booklet if you only choose the online choice.

However, I can say that knowing I only have to do 25 pushups per circuit, or 30 squats per circuit, once per week really makes it not so bad. And I think these will be effective. I'd like to come back and post results when done, though my weight loss results are always mostly due to my food intake.

Thank you so much for the quick reply counterclockwise!! I'm looking to change things up a bit from weights and this sounds like it might fit the bill. Thank you, again for your thoughts on this!

Sure! I found a coupon code on a blog (someone who was provided the program and tried it and wrote a review). I can't find it now, but you may be able to find another code somewhere. It was 20% off.

I also forgot to say that the program includes a 4 week pre-training program if you need it before getting into the real program. It also has suggested warmups and cooldowns.

Thanks again, counterclockwise for letting me know about the coupon code. I did find it and it's only good through May, so today would be the last day. If anyone is interested the code is MEAGANBB. Oh, so of course i 'had' to order it!!
