DDP Yoga, anyone on it?

I got the max pack and didn't get hit by customs. Also got it in less than a week and had access to the starter videos online and mp3s the day I paid.

Most of the time it's really good but there are times that I really hate how smiley and cheery DDP and his team are when i'm in the middle of doing something that is kicking my arse.

I'm not concerned about my weight but I have zero fitness or sports background and am not used to regular exercise outside of walking. So I figured this would be good to just increase my general fitness levels . I started with the beginner course and found it really good. It eases you into it and in that way gives you a chance to get the poses right etc.. I was all gung ho for it till i got to 'below the belt' which I just seem to suck at, which was a bit demoralising and I really didn't look forward to the days when I had to do it but i kept going and finished out the programme and after i got my breath back after Diamond Cutter (which also killed me and is the final workout in the beginners section) i felt really good, like i'd achieved something. Actually, always feel pretty good once i've finished a workout. Had very little aches and pains after the first week of doing it.

Anyway, my overall fitness and flexibility definitely improved though i'm not holding my foot over my head like you see people do in the pics and according to my gf I've toned up a good bit but I don't really see it.

I wasn't too keen on starting the intermediate programme straight after the Beginner so instead I decided to just spend a few weeks where I'd just do Below the Belt three times a week to kinda get past my dread of it before moving on to do the same with Diamond Cutter and then starting the more advanced workouts. That's where I am at the minute with it (well, actually haven't done it in a week due to flu that makes me feel like my head is gonna explode if i bend over :eek:) And i feel guilty that i haven't done it in a week

I couldn't get into the whole Team DDP and tracking your progress thing on his site so I didn't really bother with that. I didn't implement the diet plan either as I'm not the worst eater but I might give it a go in future. It's a good workout system though for those like me that aren't sporty, though i probably made it harder on meself by deciding i'd do it before work in the mornings at half past stupid o'clock most days....oh and a good tip is don't eat before doing it, can be quite uncomfortable.

Sorry to ask another question but is the dust fairly specific or is it general eat so many carbs, so much protein etc?

I'm thinking about getting this to help me lose weight (not obese or anything could do with losing a stone or 2) but I know nothing about proteins in food and all of that, I kind of need a diet where I'm told I can eat so and so this day, rather than leaving it up to me to go researching it.
