I will finish my first thirty days tomorrow! I have not worked out regularly for over a decade due to knee, back and neck issues. After hearing about Dr. Axe and researching his food and exercise beliefs, I decided to buy this program. Like anything else, it has it's pros and cons.
PROS
** The mere fact that I have followed this program for the entire thirty days is a miracle for me as I usually only last a few days
** He has two levels of intensity and I was able to easily adjust for my physical limitations
** He is very encouraging on the videos - my new mantra is "I can do anything for ten seconds!"
** While I don't look like Dr. Axe or his wife Dr. Chelsea with a completely toned body after thirty days, I have lost several pounds and have gotten a "two pack" started! I am also starting to see muscles that I haven't seen in years! When I think about where I started, this is a HUGE improvement!
** They are great motivators and I found myself pushing harder than I ever would without them.
** I'm looking forward to starting it again - Can't wait to see how much I can improve after 60 days!
CONS
** Chelsea is much better at letting you know when different exercise times are complete. Once I figured out the moves, I don't look at the screen and Dr. Axe doesn't always give good cues so I will stop too soon which can be frustrating.
** Like any other video exercise program the repetition can get a little boring, but even so, I am so far from mastering all the moves, that it motivates me to keep going.
** I wish the warm up and cool down sessions were included with the burst exercises, it's kind of a pain to have to switch to the first dvd for the warm up and the last dvd for the cool down.
Overall, I really love this program. Thanks to Dr. Axe, I have transformed my way of life. I am following a lot of his suggestions for healthy eating (I also bought his cookbook) and exercising. I have listened to all of his podcasts and have branched out into listening to some of the people he has interviewed. What I really like about him is that he is someone I can get behind and he is easier to follow than some of the other, more extreme people out there. Thanks Dr. Axe!
