Basically its the "you shouldn't try to stretch a frozen rubber band" theory.

makes perfect sense to me. I think I'll stop doing my pre-stretching and see how it goes.

After the first month I felt I was ready to move on and the second month is no joke. I had plateaued in my weight loss. Now, only five workouts from the end, I can say I'm down 10 lbs, two belt loops thinner and can start to see some inkling of ab definition, but it wasn't until now that most of that came in.
Edit: I'm 40 for what it's worth.

maybe I'll do the first week of the max workouts (when I get to them - started week 4 today) and see how it goes. if it's just destroying me I'll jump back to the first set of workouts. I know that day 1 of the max workouts includes a fit test and a workout....I think the total time is like 80 minutes or so. damn. that's just mean! I don't plan on finishing the 60 days and then just stopping the workouts anyways...I want to keep going. I'm already seeing that hitting my max heart rate doesn't hurt as bad as it did the first few weeks.
