OK, now I remember this. Christy Brinkley.

It looks like a tailored down version of BFL. Nutrition is the same (which I'm going to assume you're not going to be following? but doing LC?) and the workouts are higher reps with less weight.

Honestly, I think that if you're comfortable with this type of program after a few weeks you're ready for the BFL type of training. This would be a good way to get your feet wet. My only hesitation is this: ever notice the people who spend forver in the gym but don't seem to have much to show for it? They are usually lifting lighter weights for endless repetitions.

Lighter weights and more reps has it uses, and it's a good way to introduce yourself to resistance work. Going lighter will ensure you learn proper form and don't stress the connective tissue around your muscles. But just going light isnt going to get you the results you're looking for (or the kind they promise). Good place to start though.

Have you looked through Trainerdan's sticky about "Advice for Beginners"? You'll get some hints/tips there as well.
