Agreed. What is interesting with all of this — type of exercise, calorie intake, etc. — has clearly visible results.
For example, everyone can tell when someone is not working out and eating like crap. They look like me… ummm, I mean they are clearly overweight 
That’s an easy one because it is so obvious. But it is clear the other way as well. Several years ago, triathletes were considered THE elite in the world of fitness. But then things like P90X, Crossfit, and Combat Fitness like [Damian Ross] teaches comes along and it became obvious how thin and stringy the tri’s all looked. Sure, they’ve got great cardio, but they just don’t look that healthy. I believe Damian has a picture somewhere where he shows a marathoner next to a sprinter and you see right away who is the truly healthy one.
I think the point of all of this is that we can use a mirror as a good evaluation tool in our efforts. Start a routine, give it a month or so, and see how you are starting to look and feel. If you are trimming up and adding muscle, it’s probably an okay program. If you are thinning out and getting lanky, it’s probably time to change things up. Or, if you’re just not interested in conducting all of this research, you could just make it simple and hit Mod 7 start to finish. Believe me, if you can handle “Medicine Ball from Hell” and not need to call an ambulance, you will certainly be good to go
