Bryan Harney is a former University wrestler that has owned a training facility in Chicago for over eight years. He, and his wife, Dr. Kathryn, also better known as Katie are the friendly personalities that will welcome you to their online program in a series of helpful videos. They’re also the two people you’ll see doing the follow-along workouts.

Each of the fourteen exercise videos are done in real time. Katie, a Doctor of Audiology, Certified Nutritionist, and mother of one, cranks out impressive push-ups and pull-ups right alongside her husband Bryan. Even before creating this particular program in 2014, they have helped thousands of men and women transform their bodies through the fat-burning secret they discovered during their University years.

What Bryan and Katie discovered was a hidden genetic switch, when turned off, makes fat loss impossible. Even better, they figured out a way to turn it back on. This is something traditional weight lifting and cardio programs can’t do.

They call this hidden genetic switch, “physical homeostasis.” They believe that the full body exercises included in their workouts, when done in a certain order for a specific amount of time, are the keys to triggering quick and lifelong fat loss in the areas we tend to put it on as we age.

So if you’re looking for a quick home workout that will transform your body with minimal equipment, The Curve-Ball Effect is the program for you.

There is minimal equipment required for the workouts in The Curve-Ball Effect 14-Day Total Body System. If you do not have the two pieces of equipment recommended, the creators have provided alternative exercises for you, so your results will not suffer.

However, if you have a pull-up bar and an exercise box or step that you can straddle over and jump onto, you have exactly what you need to complete all of the workouts as written.

First, a pull-up bar. This can be an inexpensive portable bar that you set up and take down each time you do a workout involving chin-ups. Again, if you don’t have a pull-up bar or the equivalent, you will be given an alternate exercise to do in place of chin-ups.

The second piece of equipment is an exercise step or box, approximately the height of your knee or mid-shin. You’ll be straddling this box or step, one foot on either side, and you’ll be required to jump up onto the box with both feet.

You can also use the box to modify several of the exercises. For example, Bryan and Katie will show you how to use the box to make push ups, burpees, and squats easier. If you don’t have this kind of equipment or the ability to perform any of these movements, an alternative exercise is provided.

The Curve-Ball Effect 14-Day Total Body System comes with a 14-Day Fat Loss Accelerator Workout Calendar that will tell you which workout to do on which day to help you destroy your fat even faster.

If you want to lose fat as quickly as possible, follow this workout calendar to a T.

The Curve-Ball Effect Total Body System comes with a 14-Day Rapid Fat Loss Nutrition Plan. You can use this 14-day plan for 2 weeks or up to 10 weeks, but no longer.

The rapid fat loss plan requires you to eat the same three meals each day for 13 days. You will also be required to count calories and macronutrients and drink 1-2 gallons of water each day. On the 14th day, you get a re-feed day.

The three meals you will eat each day are meals made up of real food. The macro breakdown consists of a high protein, high fat, low carb diet. Bryan recommends that you listen to your body. You may not even need to eat all the required meals as written if you are otherwise satiated, and have sufficient energy for your workouts.

Bryan recommends you download the MyFitnessPal app to help you keep track of how many calories you’re consuming. It is okay if you are below the calorie intake recommendations, but you should not go over them.

If you are hungry between meals, Bryan gives you two recommendations for simple snacks.

There are no options given in the rapid fat loss meal plan. This would not be ideal for vegetarians or vegans. Although there aren’t any options for food in the diet, it does simplify meal preparation. You will always know exactly what you need to buy at the store each time you go in, and you’ll always know what you’re eating for breakfast, lunch, and supper. For some people, this is a great way to take the guess work out of a fat loss diet. However, it doesn’t teach you sustainable healthy eating skills.

As far as meal preparation goes, you will be able to cook your protein sources beforehand so they are easy to take along with you if you eat lunch or supper away from home.

When The Curve-Ball Effect 14-Day Total Body System initially came out, some users felt it was too difficult. So Bryan and Katie recorded six brand new workouts specifically for beginners and added it onto the members site. From this seemingly small act, you know that this coaching couple is genuine about helping others live a healthier lifestyle.

The Curve-Ball Effect 14-Day Total Body System is broken up into two phases. The first phase provides you with beginner-friendly workouts that are short but effective in getting you stronger, and helping you start to shed fat.

Once you find the beginner workouts are starting to feel easy,  you’ll move to the intermediate-advanced workouts. During this phase, you’ll be introduced to new exercises and a slightly different style of workout. You’ll have even more opportunities to modify exercises, if you need to make them easier. There will also be suggestions on how you can make the exercises more challenging.

Phase 1

The beginner workouts in The Curve-Ball Effect program are designed using bodyweight exercises only. The only equipment you will need is a workout step or box. This will come in handy not only for the exercises it is designed for, but also for the suggested exercise modifications. For example, you can use an exercise step to raise your push-up up off the ground to make it easier.

Each workout is 10 minutes long. However, the follow-along workout video that comes in The Curve-Ball Effect 14-Day Total Body System only shows two rounds – or five minutes – of the workout. You’ll need to repeat the video one more time to get in four rounds, which is the full 10 minute workout it is intended to be.

It is recommended that you take the time to watch each of the videos before attempting the workouts. You’ll receive exercise tips throughout the video so if you need to modify any of the exercises, you’ll know exactly what you’ll need to do.

The workouts each contain four bodyweight exercises that you’ll do at your own pace for a specific amount of time. You’ll be able to workout with Katie as Bryan coaches you through the exercises.

Phase 2

Phase 2 involves another 14 days of intermediate-advanced workouts. These workouts are each 20 minutes long which does not include a warm-up. You can always do one of the beginner workouts, once through, for a 5 minute warm-up.

Even though the exercises become more challenging, you are provided with ample rest since the workouts are designed to be done with a partner. After you do one exercise for the specific amount of time, you will take a break while your partner does the same exercise.

Once again, you’ll have four bodyweight exercises in each workout. In addition to a workout step or box, you’ll need a chin-up bar. If you don’t have one, a different exercise will be assigned to you. Each of the seven workout videos has it’s own exercise modification and tutorial video. Watch both of the videos before attempting each workout.

The workouts in the intermediate-advanced phase are both rep and time based. If you are unable to complete the designated amount of reps within the specified time given, you are instructed to do the “unbreakable” exercise once your work time interval is up. Don’t view this as punishment – rather, see it as an opportunity for you to get stronger faster.

The Curve-Ball Effect workouts are great for people who are short on time. With beginner workouts starting at 10 minutes and the intermediate-advanced workouts taking under half an hour, they are an amazing way to get your fitness in without taking up too much of your valuable time.

These workouts are also great for people who like to train at home. Because they’re prescribed bodyweight exercises with only two pieces of equipment, you won’t have any excuses such as expensive gym memberships or equipment that will keep you from getting your workout done.

Best of all, bodyweight exercises are great for burning fat. Since they use more of your muscles than a machine or an isolation exercise such as bicep curls, you’ll be maximizing your time spent working out. In turn, you’ll benefit from the fat-burning results for up to 48 hours after you’ve wiped the last drop of sweat off your brow.

The Curve-Ball Effect 14-Day Total Body System is a high quality exercise program that promotes regular exercise and proper nutrition. Yes, it promises fat loss results to people that have struggled to lose weight, but overall, the general vibe of the program is targeted toward creating a lifelong habit of healthy movement.

It’s hard not to like Bryan and Katie. Even though the workouts might be tough at first, this sweet couple will continually encourage you to work at your level and keep on doing the best you can throughout every single follow-along workout video. If you purchase their program, make sure to subscribe to their Facebook page and email list so you’ll continue to receive support and motivation directly from them.

For the very low price of $19, you’ll receive 7 beginner and 7 intermediate workouts in follow-along video format. You’ll also be given lots of instructions on how to properly perform each exercise as well as plenty of information on how to safely modify any exercise you need to.

This program is smart and time-efficient; perfect for anyone who wants to workout at home. It also thoroughly addresses those people that are new to exercise by providing them with appropriate beginner workouts.

As a bonus, you also get the 14 day Rapid Fat Loss nutrition plan. This diet is quite limiting. You will have to prepare your meals according to the recipes provided and calculate and count your calorie and macronutrient intake. While we don’t promote extreme diets, because this nutrition plan is only recommended for a short period of time, we do realize that this kind of restrictive plan can be a great option for people that want to see quick results.

If there is one con to The Curve-Ball Effect 14-Day Total Body System, it is that there is no written workout. Although you can download the workouts so you don’t need to have an internet connection each time you perform one it can get annoying to hear the same workout instructions repeated for weeks on end. After you get comfortable with the workouts, we suggest downloading a free interval timer app and using that to simplify your training sessions.

Overall, The Curve-Ball Effect 14-Day Total Body System is a great program that is made even better by it’s joyful creators, Bryan and Katie. You’ll love them almost as much as you’ll love the fat loss and fitness benefits you’ll get if you decide to pick up their triple-guaranteed program today. Don’t wait another day to get this great workout program!
