Greetings all, SHH here. Today I signed up for a whole six months of training/punishment with 212, and before jumping into that abyss, I want to take a minute to write down my reflections on my experience for the past couple of weeks.

SHH on the five week introductory phase

Committing to five weeks with 212 was easy. I mean really... it's only five weeks. Even for us commitment-phobes, it's not too bad since the end is in sight right from the start. Yet I can hardly believe that it only takes five weeks to start feeling a change in my body. My energy has skyrocketed and I can even fit into a once button-popping tight pair of work pants.
