Its more effective than doing, say, 5 days a week of 6-8 exercises of the same number of sets. The Free Trainers programs are designed to avoid overtraining. good luck

The programme you mentioned is more like a "lay back" programme, for when you r too tired or busy

They only work out 3 days for 45 min. to 1 hr. max.and if you see some of the transformations you won't believe it., It sounds as though you are doing good so far just stay with the program and you should be alright.

I was told to basically start with what the average ppl do , which is 1 body part per week , and as you learn more about your body , get more experience , etc.... Then make some changes if needed. Its better to start with less and see the changes then starting with the max and killing urself and see no results. Then you get less motivated etc... Good luck

Those few exercises, done with proper form and sufficient weight, are enough for almost anyone.
