The article claims that a person that follows the workouts and eats that food they recommend that they will loose 10 pounds this month. As I said in my Looking ahead post about this 30 day challenge, I am not really looking to loose 10 pounds in a month especially since I am still nursing my little one. I still need the calories. So with that in mind, here is my review.
The equipment needed for the allover sculpting workout is a resistance band.
The cardio workouts are best done if you have a gym membership or some other access to a treadmill or elliptical.
Review:
I can't in good conscience give a full review of this workout and diet plan since I didn't follow the workouts to a tee and I did not follow the diet plan.
With that in mind, I have to say that I found the allover workout easy to do and it was nice to have a portable workout, since a resistance band is small enough to take everywhere with you.
The cardio workouts were aimed more at people with access to a treadmill or elliptical, which I was not able to utilize. So I ended up trying to make up my workouts as I went. It was not so successful. I did find the music links very helpful in keeping track of where I was in my cardio workout and I didn't have to think about what intensity I should be working at. Well done Fitness magazine. Thanks for making a very helpful podcast.

Results:
The results, well, I can't really say that I saw much. I found myself getting bored with the workouts through the month and kind of slacked off. I think maybe I needed more of a challenge after my 42 challenge with the Butt Bible DVD.
