Just to note that I did not say that being healthy and tiny (however one defines "tiny") is not possible (e.g., that it is one or the other).
I said being tiny was not my goal and health was my goal. I said nothing about the two things being mutally exclusive. There was a discussion on the thread about being "teeny tiny" and I was responding that it wasn't my goal. That my goal is health was a further point. I did NOT say tiny and health were mutally exclusive at all. I did not discuss stress fractures or Laura Stroud (as I don't know who she is). Quote:

Actually, I figured out 'cross-vector' = on the diagonal. She's not as hard to translate as hieroglyphics. I don't know where everyone is getting this 3.5 and 4 hour requirements. At most it would take 1.5 hours do do the whole program. |

As far as the menu plan in the book, it's a boot camp and it's no more restrictive than any plan I've seen enclosed with a BB system or even South Beach. I actually like her plan better because it emphasizes whole foods instead of supplementation and it's clean eating at its luxurious best. She even says to eat more if you feel hungry (gasp!). That's all I'm going to say on that matter so I don't veer into restricted areas. Ultimately I had to come to the point where I realized I had all the right knowledge, the right ways to do things, the right equipment and the right workouts and I was still struggling with PP weight. So what do I want? To be right and comfortably roomy or to get back into my clothes? That's a choice all of us have to make. Opinions don't give good results, after all. It's easy for me to criticize someone for being too thin when I don't run the risk of that same criticism right now. That's the whole point of my review. Does that make TA a saint? No, it makes me an armchair fitness DVD expert who talks more than she works out. That's not a comfortable place for me. It would be nice to have the criticism that I need to gain weight for a change instead of the helpless "Oh, you'll never get your figure back after 2 babies and c-sections and being 40 because I never did ..." which is all I hear from the folks around me now. Again, I don't know how or where people got the idea that this book requires 3.5 and even 4 hours per day. That's the kind of stuff rumors are made of. At best it's 90 minutes at the end of the sequences with tons of reps. And what is 90 minutes? It's Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy and half of a CSI rerun I've probably already seen a hundred times, less if I actually focus and quit jumping up every time the cat, dog, husband or baby walk into the room. And because I'm not willing to commit 100% all the time the way Laura Stroud obviously did, I've worked out some additional scenarios to complete the program: 1. Do cardio and muscle work on consecutive days, stretching the program out to 60 days instead of 30 days. 2. Do full reps + 20 minutes of cardio one day, min 20 reps + 40 minutes of cardio the following. Repeat. 3. Add ankle weights to the lower body work per the book and max out at 40 reps, then follow with cardio. 4. Do cardio + muscle work at different times of the day, perhaps cardio in the AM before DH goes to work so he can watch both kids, then muscle work in the evening when he's home. Right now I'm doing it all in the evening and getting slower and slower about starting and finishing. What made Stroud's blog so compelling is that it's the first blow by blow detail from a non-celebrity of how TA worked and it included before and afters. There's nothing suspicious to me about not having a Before picture. Plenty of BB folks on YouTube didn't take pictures of themselves in the very sloppy beginning, either. I don't think TA is paying anyone to blog about her book. If you check her FB page, pretty much everyone on there has a blog about their daily experience with the book to the point they all read pretty much the same: it's hard work getting into shape But we at VF already know getting into shape isn't easy, don't we? |
