Ratings and reviews

Started but did not completely finish. Does provide result in losing weight and inches but no muscle definition. Giving it another go.

I used this program nearly a decade ago and it worked great plus no gym membership needed to get such great results.

Best program to get results without a bunch of extra exercises. Tailored to different body shapes
