Default So Meg & Mel, do you think the BFL-Women weights workout is fairly complete?

Anything missing? It's just so different from what I was doing before, in a good way, that I no longer want to waste time going down a path that isn't the best one. So I just thought I would check in one more time that the weight training they prescribe is fairly complete. TIA!

Fran- I haven't read it since the book came out. I'll try to take a look at it tonight. Just wanted you to know I'm not ignoring you. I do have a lot of faith in Dr. Pamela

Okey dokey - I just skimmed through the exercise section. It's basically 3 - 5 days of cardio, 30 minutes each, and 2 - 3 days of weights, alternating upper and lower body. She says to do two exercises for each muscle group, 3 sets each, increasing weight and decreasing reps each time.

It's looks good to me -- a solid, basic program that hits all the muscle groups. I think it's a good way to start.

You have just given the most concise explanation I have ever heard or read of the BFL. I have tried to explain it to others and to hear me sounds like I am calculating prsquared.
