i grew up as a takeaway kid.
7 weeks ago i jacked in fags and weed, and cut out ALL junk.
i now drink water only, loads of fish and veg, and go the gym at least 5 times a week.
i cannot recommend healthy lifestyles enough now, after 7 weeks healthy regime, after 25 years of eating shit, i feel mentally better, physically better and have loads of energy, always wake up early not being tired, it is absolutely brilliant!

surely someone starting out would benifit from a steady 3 - 4 beginners program in the gym focused around compound excersises to give them a good foundation.
not to mention this all seems a bit of a fanny on and a lot more complicated than going to the gym 4 days a week and lifting weights for 45 mins and then cardio 3 times a week.
just my thoughts though.
Its no fannying about what so ever. You do it all at home, no travelling to the gym everyday, which for me, is a 30min round trip.
I agree for the long term, it is not the best option. If you are going to be working out for years, you want to be doing a program with big compound moves, and lots of weights, along with some cardio.
If you think the excersizes are an easy way out, i urge you to try the first day, and see how you get on.
I was weight training for over 6months before i tried this. Which, i had pretty much stopped getting doms, and was lifting decent weight. When i did the first day, i couldnt train let alone move for a week. Like most, i was skeptical about how easy it was gonna be. Its really not.
For a decent start into the world of training, i cannot recommend this enough. After completing 90days, you will be the most supple you have ever been. Id then get on the weights etc.

Would you really class a 5 x 5 routine as a beginner one? i certainly wouldnt

Bit excessive and risks overtraining if the diets not up to scratch(which as a beginner 9 times out of 10 it wont be)

They'll be hungry so they'll eat! They won't even get remotely close to overtraining
3 sessions of that a week and you'll be as strong as an ox

thats more to do with the muscle groups you exercise doing the different training, if you did px90 for 6 month then went and did normal compound training in the gym you would feel knacked the next day.
