Tricia,

It is definately worth the cost. It is the most effective workout that I have seen. I usually don't go for all those quick 20-30 ,minute a day workouts they promote on tv. This is very different, it's all about muscle confusion. I just started it all over since I did some traveling then caught a cold so I was off the routine for close to 3 weeks. Started all over yesterday and it's just great. They lay everything out for you, there a charts to follow for foods and work-outs. It's a 3 month program, 3 phases.
  • Fat Shredder
  • Energy Booster
  • Endurance Maximizer
Each workout, 6 days a week takes anywhere from 45 to 75 minutes. Here are some of the workouts, it comes with a complete spreadsheet that is very user friendly to show you what has to be done and when.
  • Chest & Back
  • Plyometrics
  • Shoulders & Arms
  • Yoga X
  • Legs & Back
  • Kenpo
  • Core Synergistics
  • Chest, Shoulders, Triceps
  • Back & Biceps
  • Cardio X
  • Ab Ripper X
  • X Stretch
As you can see it is intense, make sure you will be committed and I gaurentee you will reach your goals and see results.

This was a little to intense for my wife since it consists of a lot of puch-ups and pull-ups. She is doing the Denise Austin workout cd's along with walking and is getting good results from that.

Hope this was helpful and good luck!
