Males can gain 5-15 pounds of muscle while losing 5-15 pounds of fat in only two months, and females can lose the same amount of fat while gaining 2-5 pounds of muscle. Your body will soon regain shape regardless of the training regimen you choose. Your body is only getting back into regular, fit condition, so it should be relatively simple.

This is because the program is poorly designed after the newbie effect has worn off.
