Fight not to use the pads, get your mind to say no. I wore the pull up home after the RP and then threw them away. I ran to the bathroom every 5-10 minutes the 1st week. Do not become dependent on the pads unless you have no choice. I also work out 3-4 times per week, walk 2 miles, stationery bike 5 minutes, row machine 5 minutes, weight training varies approx. 30 minutes and finish with 4 rounds of 30 sit-ups, 15 push ups. You can beat this, just need to fight. Also watch what you eat, get weight down.
