I just finished the 8 week program today and thought I’d write my review. Here’s what I thought…About me: I’m a 49 year old male and feel that I’m in okay shape. I’ve done many workout series in the past including P90X, Insanity, UFC Fit and RIP:60. By the way, I’m not a BeachBody Coach.For this workout, I did the schedule as written and didn’t miss a workout (including the extra core workout on the cardio days). I didn’t do any additional exercises outside of this schedule either. For the nutrition part: I followed a Paleo diet during the whole 8 weeks and was fairly clean throughout (only had a few cheat meals/drinks here and there).I was a bit skeptical that a person could get good results by working out only 22 to 33 minutes a day, but thought it was worth a try since I’d prefer shorter workouts. With that said, I lost 11lbs in 8 weeks (from 177lbs down to 166). I’m now a believer!22 minute Hard Corps is one of my favorite work out series. I liked the military style of the workouts and it never got over the top with the drill Sargent stuff. Tony was great in the series. He cut out the banter that was in P90X - making the workouts fly by. He also made the workouts more efficient. The exercises were easy to learn and used compound movements – incorporating multiple muscle groups in a single exercise. The resistance days were my favorite. I should also add, that I never experienced any joint pain or fell sick during the 8 week program.I believe the magic in these shorter workouts is more on the psychological side than with the exercises themselves. The fact that the workouts are shorter made it less painful to do every day, and easier to complete the entire program instead of quitting half way through in failure. I no longer dreaded working out after I got home from work. I even did the optional core workouts on the cardio days. I’ve always skipped them in other workout series. I figured I had no excuses this time since I’m still only investing a total of about 30 minutes of my time per day. Plus by week 3, I started to see my abs, which has never happened before. Abs may start in the kitchen, but they end on the mat!The downside to the shorter workouts is that you probably have to be more honest with your nutrition to see progress. If I wasn’t as strict with my diet, I don’t think I would of have gotten as good of results.Overall: great workout!
