Nice program for compact (short) exercises. Can be completed very quickly which is great for those working a day/desk job. I definitely lost a few lbs while gaining muscle so that was great. I also did this in conjunction with jogging/cardio a few times a week. Hard to tell how much I improved as I sometimes staggered or had day gaps in between successive days for rest but solid primer program overall to gain a baseline fitness and gain muscle/strength.
