Book Review: A little bit disappointed
Summary: 3 Stars
I was sold on Dr. Sears' method as soon as I learned about it. I purchased this as an ebook and read the entire thing, thinking, this should be easy to do as I have been very physically fit in the past, and I still rollerbladed on a regular basis. Initially, I sent a few emails to Dr. Sears' staff who returned them with answers to my questions about which exercises to do, how long, how long to rest in between, etc. I was pumped.
Then I injured my left foot and could not wear shoes or do much movement comfortably. So I began doing mostly Hindu squats for five one minute segments with rests in between. This was last summer.
In October I was in a car accident and broke my collarbone. I also got bronchitis and so months later my collarbone was still loose and I had become very sedentary. By January, I had put on weight and was going out of my mind, feeling pretty depressed. Even though it was tough, I began doing modified Hindu squats (one arm only) and incorporated other squat variations along with stepping on one of those steps used in aerobic classes, again doing five one minute segments with rests in between. It did make me feel better emotionally, but I wasn't losing any weight like Dr. Sears promised.
I began writing to Dr. Sears again, but this time, I received no answers from his staff. So I wrote to Coach Yari (one of the fitness experts in Dr. Sears' video) via Youtube, and she gave me some advice: increase some of the segments to 1.5 or 2 minutes. So, on top of this, I thought that perhaps because I was already in some kind of shape when I started last summer (I wasn't obese and had exercised for most of my life) I felt that perhaps five segments weren't enough. I upped it to ten and increased the duration of some.
I've been doing ten high energy segments (some of them leave me absolutely winded) two to three times per week for the past month but haven't seen a change in my size. In fact, I feel like I've put on more fat. I do feel a bit more muscle tone in my legs though, and have been taking L-glutamine and other amino acids in the hope that building muscle will help me to lose fat.
I still have a lot of hope for this program but I'm disappointed at the lack of results, since I've been diligent and working hard at it. I'm also disappointed by the lack of response from Dr. Sears' staff. At the very least a chat group or blog would be helpful to communicate with others who are doing his program.
I've told so many people about this but I'm sure they're looking at me getting bigger and thinking that it's a crock.
Is it? I don't know. I like the program itself, it's better than doing hours of endless aerobics, and I do feel great afterwards. But you don't need the book. First of all, it's not all that clear, and secondly, there's plenty of free information out there on the net and on Youtube, and the BURST method of training is the same thing.
