my girlfriend uses it. It's good stuff IF you can put up with the absurd douchery of the host, the repetitiveness of the videos, and you're willing to stick with it. And when I say absurd, there's no joke or punch line to that. The dude is awful.

Ah doesn't bother me much, I'm doing the excercises to get in shape not be entertained by the host, the old man is buff as hell and demonstrates the proper way to do things so it works for me.

Check out www.bodybuilding.com/fun

Awesome website with more information than you will know what to do with. They have some pretty good workout databases based on your goals and how often you can work out and videos of excersizes too. Any supps you do decide to take, even just whey, are very cheap compared to somewhere like GNC too. If you don't mind teaching yourself that's the place to go IMO.

I came up with a Cal calendar for my wife using Excel.


She enters her weight age and height. Figures her BMR and calculates her cal deficit for the week and gives a Est. for weight loss.

As for HOW to lift safely and effectively, look no farther than Wichita Falls' own Mark Rippetoe. He's really good at teaching the slow lifts.
http://startingstrength.com/index.php

Why so important? Guys typically gain significant strength in the first months of training. Overuse injuries plague those that don't pay attention to how they're lifting. Then, in not that long at all, you may be slingin' significant poundage and the risks of either overuse or acute injury (re- catastrophic) go up with the weight.

Read Starting Strength and watch the video. Even go back over the video to tease little details of the motions involved in the various lifts.

Now, how you use the lifts to support whatever fitness goals you have is up to you. Mark's not in to bodybuilding, gloves, squat bar pads or the little panties that the bodybuilders wear. He's a strength trainer, pure and simple.

There's many sources for the combinations and frequency of lifts/ training that'll get you to where you want to be. The key is to do it without trashing a shoulder, knee or your back.
