Last year I did 21 Day Fix and followed both the eating plan and the workout rotation. I didn't lose any weight, but I did make gains in my fitness level - probably due to the fact that I was being consistent.
I followed that up with Kathy Smith's Project You, doing more than half of the 12 week rotation before giving up due to boredom and the flareup of an injury (injured doing Leslie Sansone of all things, not Kathy Smith or 21 Day Fix). Again, I didn't lose a pound, but my pants got looser and my waist was really small - so small that a woman I work with noticed and commented. Now I'm not doing anything regularly and it shows |

I can honestly say, I've never done a complete system all the way through. I have always allowed something to get in the way. I know the eating/diet element is the biggest, but toning the body comes from exercise.
I've had time this summer to reflect on my good and bad choices when it comes to fitness/health. I believe we have so much at our finger tips already and I don't need to wait for something else to come out. It's just getting the right combo together for optimum results. Whatever I do, it will involve Tracie Long for sure. But I don't want to burn out on her, so I definitely need other methods to incorporate.

The only ones I've used exclusively were Jane Fonda's workout on vinyl, and an old workout booklet called "Thin Thighs in Thirty Days".
I was in my twenties when using both, FWIW. The Thin Thighs in 30 days one was quite effective. It's mostly a walking program (3 miles a day, IIRC) plus some hip and thigh exercises. I really liked the old Jane Fonda, none of her videos ever quite matched up to the fun of that.

WOW!
I totally could have written this post myself. I feel the same way. Info overload is an understatement. People/instructors are pushing so much to innovate & come up w/ new stuff. I feel it is time to get back to basics. So many people want to know the right superfood to eat & the exact right # of minutes to do HIIT training (7 min or 8 min?!?!?!) ... it is rare to see/find bloggers & fitness pros encouraging sustainable fitness & health (& weight loss if that is a goal - b/c it is not for everyone). I would love to see some steady-state cardio programs, like the old BSS1 add-ons. I know Jenny Ford has some on YT but sometimes I crave the professional production of a DVD set. I do not like yoga/pilates workouts & need to have weights & cardio. I think that a good mix of cardio & weight workouts would be successful for 70-80% of the population who is just seeking to maybe firm up a little and see the non-physique health benefits of exercise.
