How do you determine which level to start with?

I started with level 1. I figured start at the top. In the first 2 days, you can already notice more definition in my arms than ever before and I used to be heavy into weightlifting.

Even if you start at level 1 it only takes a week to level up and you can re-assess after day 3 of your first week. If you do it in a minute you are clearly pretty good and could probably skip up to level 3 or 4!

Good luck and enjoy!

I can't do a pull up so I'm doing Australian pullups at the moment, this is why I started at level 1. I just did my first negative ever today.

Just wanted to thank cheapo for posting about SimpleFit way back when. I started today by jumping into Day 1 / Level 3 and got through 36 sets in the 20 minutes allotted. I'm excited to use a structured program like this and look forward to tracking my progress!

Cheapo,

When do you decide to move on to the next level?

Cheapo,

When do you decide to move on to the next level?

I believe it is when you can complete the 3rd workout in less than 5 minutes..

I cannot yet do pull ups.
The subs I have been doing are inverted pull ups. I jump up to the bar, hold for 2 seconds and then count to 4 for my let down. Is this sufficient enough for a substitute?
Should I try something else.

Cheapo,

What level are you on and are you still on beginner, intermediate, or advanced?

The Level 8 on Beginner Day 3 (50 pull ups, 100 push ups and 100 squats in 5 minutes or less) looks very tough.
I don't know how you do it.

This is a great simple workout that I want to try! My problem is, that I am a gym rat and love being at the gym. I love lifting weights and having short intense workouts at the gym. At this point, I'm just not willing to give that up.

Is there a rational, productive way to incorporate the simple fit into a weight training program without all together abandoning the weights. I'm sure I could figure something out, but was curious if anyone has come up with something and had success.

some how im just hearing about this. looks pretty interesting so i think ill give it a try. i like PBF but find myself slacking off on it and not doing as many reps as i should be, especially when pull ups are concerned. i think this will keep me more honest since it is a timed exercise
