Digging around a little, I found a few videos on youtube which cleared things up. I can't post the links right now, but I now appreciated doing these on the floor. It looks like trouble if one was going to do these on the bench. BTW - these things look really difficult. Thanks for the input. SOG – no worries.

So the bar you use - are you actually holding it at the top of a bench press position in your hands? Or is the bar in the rack? Do you suggest these be done on the floor or on the bench? Thanks.

I am in a very small house and it is difficult to even do the pull up stuff. However the burpees, military squats, different types of pushups... those are all great. Thanks again!

I don't think of myself as being ethically superior or anything. I actually don't take issue with people who buy organic free range (and hopefully humanely slaughtered) meat. For me though I just cannot do it. I do eat fish though, just not often (mostly due to finances). Good to know about the dairy. I just was concerned about calories and fat. I read one thing, but it is so hard to get those crazy things out of your head! Yes, I am fully aware that my diet can never really be primal.

When it comes to dairy, I am of the firm opinion you have to go full fat. Anything else is cheating yourself of the health benefits. While dairy is not considered primal, I do indulge in occasional full fat organic yogurt, sour cream, cream cheese and cheeses. In moderation of course. For someone who is borderline vegetarian, it is probably a huge help. Marissa Thanks,

I think that I am a tad paranoid about making the change. I have been reading Mark's Daily Apple and The Modern Forager for a few months now, and I can't get a couple of things out of my brainwashed head. I STILL worry about fat intake, and also feel like I NEED to do the cardio and hit the gym 5 days a week. I want this to be out of my head, especially if I am going to be healthier because of it! I am not fully primal. I am not sure I ever can be as I border on vegetarianism (I eat fish a couple times a month). But I have cut grains and sugar from my daily diet. I do eat some dairy and this is where I do wonder about fat. I just don't know if it is better for me to have the full fat, lower fat, or non-fat when it comes to this stuff. I don't eat a ton of dairy, but I do have milk in my coffee and a cup of yogurt or 1/2 cottage cheese a day. You do look incredible, and I bet you feel it too. Thank you SO much for the workout links. I am also recovering from surgery so I have to take it easy on certain things for now, but I am going to try to do as much of this as I can and try to get my mind straight about it. I find that the easy part is dealing with the body. The mind is another story entirely. Thank you again! Glad I got a link to your blog. Thank you!!

I don't know about looking that good but I am pretty happy with where I am at after only 6 months or so. I have had to work up to this routine myself. Any kind of intense circuit training will help you build up. I used to be in the gym 5 days a week and do a lot of cardio... it killed me and I got nowhere. I cut workouts to an intense 30 minutes 3 times per week. I also dropped cardio and started doing a sprint session 1 - 2 times per week. This allowed my body to heal and recover and is when I started seeing results. The feeling that I had to workout everyday was SO hard to break but it is one of the best things I have done for my body and my health. There is a "beginners" section on my workout philosophies actually!

I say stay away from the tan as well though, but then I prefer Celt to Spartan ;-) I am curious if there is a way to work up to such a routine, as in how do I "start"? I have lost 150lbs and am in good shape, but not even close to the definition you have. I am in the gym 5 days a week. I lift, do isolation work (like lunges), and do cardio. I am not in the market to lose "weight" just want to define the muscles. But the intensity of your workout is a bit intimidating. is there a "beginners" section? ;-) Great work! You look incredible.
