How long should I do PBF?
This isn’t a 90-day extreme boot camp fad regi-
men that you’ll quit halfway through and never go
again. This isn’t some ab ripping monster workout
program being hawked on an infomercial. Primal
Blueprint Fitness is a sustainable, lifelong fitness
program. You do it for life. And because the move-
ments contained within are so basic, fundamen-
tal, and timeless—because they are the essential
movements our bodies are meant to perform—you
will always be able to progress simply by increas-
ing the intensity (go from presses to handstand
pushups to one-armed handstand pushups) or
by adding a weight vest. You’ll always be able to
maintain mobility, strength, and day-to-day function
safely. Six-pack abs are just a fringe benefit. Be-
sides, once you master the basic LHT movements,
you can experiment with the Workouts of the Week
to keep things fresh and new indefinitely.
How quickly will I see results?You’ll see—or perhaps “feel” is a better word to
use—results immediately. Particularly if you are
coming from Conventional Wisdom’s Chronic
Cardio approach, you will experience higher and
more consistent daily energy levels right away
when exercising according to PBF guidelines.
Especially if you tandem your PBF efforts with
Primal eating, excess body fat will disappear virtu-
ally before your eyes, to the tune of 4–8 pounds
per month (range depends mostly on your size
and other personal attributes). This is a huge and
highly noticeable number when we are talking
body fat instead of the typical muscle/water/and
a little bit of fat crash diet approach. Get ready for
muscles to firm up, pants to sag, and compliments
to accumulate!Frequently Asked Questions and Concerns cont’d 88
