Has anyone else tried this? It is extremely intense and painful! Today was legs and I nearly cried while doing them. Not really but it really hurt. It was developed by a Japanese scientist, with the same name, for the Japanese speed skating team. I was just curious if anyone else tried it and if so how it effective, or ineffective, it was.

I know a few who use the program for cardio, but not for strength training. I did see what you are talking about in the current M&F mag.....keep us updated on how it works for you.

According to the article you are referring to, the program is "supposed" to increase endurance, explosiveness and strength. I will post what I am experiencing from the program.
