Day #1 Begin Here!

Whether you have been following Cross Tone since it's beginning or are just starting, this is the place to begin.

Before you start your workout there are a few things I suggest you do.
Step #1: Take measurements and weight: This explains how How to Measure .
Step #2: Take photos of yourself or have a friend take them of you. If you want to see the most subtle changes I recommend taking them in a sports bra and spandex in the privacy of your home. If you want to have them taken by a professional so you can see all major changes I recommend two people.
