Assessment
I am so glad to be done with this work out plan. I got really bored of doing the same thing over and over again for so many days in a row. I have learned a valuable lesson about myself and that is that I need more variety than this.
Another issue that I am dealing with is that it is just not possible for me to get to the gym 6 days a week right now. I'm spending 6 hours a week in class plus another 10 or so worth of study time and that has to come first. The next plan that I evaluate will be one that is for people like me who can only get to the gym 3-4 days a week.
Now, on to the benefits. My arms look great! I've never spent a lot of time lifting free weights but you can call me converted. My shoulder/bicep area looks more defined and tight shirts are a little looser. Also, I lost 3 pounds during the course of this workout, which would be an okay loss for a true 14 day period.
Minus factors for Shrink a Size in 14 Days: time commitment is too much for some folks, doing the same workout day after day gets pretty boring, I did not see a loss in my waistline.
On the whole I would recommend this exercise plan to anyone who is dedicated to getting to the gym on a daily basis. It's also a great plan for beginners who aren't really sure what to do at the gym. Not for me, but would be a great plan for some.
