Sorry to intrude, but I just started the program and wanted to share. Have been very impressed with the system thus far, just started my second week and I feel great. With that being said, it is a very time consuming work out, longest being about 93 minutes, which is tough to do in your home with limited space. I do think those folks on the commercials are rare cases (diet, exercise, etc.), but I have noticed a change in my energy level. I purchased the DVD's, the bands, and the chin up bar. The chin up bar is pretty slick, but hangs a little too low. I don't expect to turn out like the advertisement, but it is forcing me to change me lifestyle. Hope this helps.
