Description

This multilevel class is safe for and accessible to beginners, and just right for intermediates. Three of Fonda's able and motivating instructors teach the 45-minute step class. Half the room does lower-intensity moves; the other uses higher steps and higher-intensity techniques. The teaching technique is excellent: a pattern is taught on the floor before taking it up on the step. One participant does the routines totally without the step to guide beginners or others who don't feel comfortable using the step. The patterns never get very complex, but they are varied enough to keep you interested and energized, and you can adjust your step height to make the workout harder if you wish. The instructors cue seamlessly. Fonda herself teaches the 10-minute abdominal segment, with enough variations of the standard crunch to keep your abs contracting and your mind engaged. --Joan Price

Still LoVe it after all these Years!

by Madelyn from The Buckeye State on 2010-05-11
I still have a couple of Jane's Step Videos on VHS. Always loved and enjoyed this routine and alternated it with Cher's New Attitude Fitness for many years. It's absolutely timeless and I hope that it makes it to DVD at some point. I see that a couple of Jane's exercise videos are already on DVD so I think it's very possible that this will be as well. I don't use the old VHS tapes often but just every once in a while I will dig it out and put it in the VHS/DVD combo unit. It will get you in shape quickly and it's well cued by the instructors. I have lots of newer exercise DVD's by some of the young & younger instructors. I have several by Cathy Friech; she's highly energetic & I find her step routines are definitely high-impact and very hard on my knees. Yes, she's very good and extremely popular but I can't keep up even if I simplify her moves & that's A-OK with me. I don't want to hurt and have aching knees for a week & I'm not into the fancy dancy routines. I prefer a no non-sense video that's effective and FUN. With Jane's instructors, there are no fancy one-legged mambos or pirouettes or flying across the room movements and that suits me and my needs. I prefer tried, true and less complicated. If something works and it's fun...well....I'm all for it! So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this goes to DVD; I will be first to buy it.

Amazing and Awesome!

by Malorie Sponseller from STATESBORO, GA, US on 2010-04-20
This is the video that got me into step aerobics! It was my mom's and I began using it when I was in middle school. The steps aren't horribly difficult but certainly work and the ab workout is AMAZING! It may be a flashback to an earlier time, but this is the BEST step aerobics video I have yet to see. 5 stars all the way!

Jane Fonda's Step Aerobic and Abdominal Workout

by Lucy from FL on 2009-11-24
I've been doing this workout for many years and it is still one of my favorites. I only wish it was on DVD.

A classic!

by Patty from Brodhead, WI on 2009-09-23
I started this routine shortly after it came out. I still use it today. I know most of the words by heart and can use the routine with my mp3 player - no video.
I like the variety in the class, the change of the music, and the change of instuctors. I have to admit, when I'm pressed for time, I skip the warm up and cool down, and only sometimes do the ab part, but the aerobic part of this video is very productive without making anyone turn and twist when tired which is so dangerous!
This is my favorite of every workout I have ever tried.

Not bad for the age of the tape

by D. Smith from Virginia on 2010-07-06
Not bad for the age of the tape. I didn't expect it to be in great shape since it was originally created in 1982. Delivery was quick.

This tape works...still

by Anne Bastien from Silverdale, Wa. on 2010-02-21
When this tape first came out, I used it and lost 89lbs. I found it again and happily I am firming and losing again.

disappointed

by Judi from St. Paul, MN on 2009-12-20
This is not at all what I remember. I had the LP of, supposedly, this workout. It came with a book showing the exercises and I did it daily for a couple years. I thought this was the same workout done on video. Not even the music is familiar. The exercises are so fast I hardly think they would recommended them these days. I have quite a few Jane Fonda workout tapes and have enjoyed them all. This is not what I remember and I'm sorry I wasted my money on it.

Poor Quality Video - Disappointing

by Misty from Miami on 2010-02-13
The quality of this video is quite poor. The light levels or contrast are so high that the images are not sharp. I guess I could adjust my television settings, but I don't think in this day and age with technology as advanced as it is, that I should have to do that just to get it right!

Jane Fonda Complete Workout

by Dot Strong from Blountstown, FL on 2009-08-16
The workout itself is not bad, but I prefer the step aerobic tape. This one has too many segments so that you have to rewind and forward for different ones. If it were on DVD it would be fine.

Good for beginners only.

by E. Parker from on 2005-08-01
I used this workout when I was a beginner excerciser, and it was very challenging! But, now I consider myself at a high intermediate level, I pulled this one out of the collection, and the weights, and the push-ups, and the lower body work are too short and are not a challenge, the aerobics will make you break a sweat, and raise your heart rate. But not much of a challenge. So overally this video is for beginners only, if you are not a begginer, but want weight work, try Jane Fonda's Toning and Shaping/Workout with Weights video, and alternate it with a video with more challenging aerobics such as the Lean Routine, which has an hour of aerobics with the option of High or Low impact or the New workout, which has 12/16 minutes of aerobics that is very very high impact.

SOOO FUNN!!

by Forever Young from on 2005-07-08
ooh i love the cardio part of this video! its just soo fun, and even if you really really dont feel like working out, the 35 min will fly by so fast! its fast paced and you dont repeat any of the moves too many times, so you have no time to get bored.

however, i only gave it 3 stars because i dont like the weight and leg section. it was too slow and boring and the moves are not fresh: they are just plain moves you see everywhere (lunges, bicep curls..)

Good Workout Great Value

by Lynn from Houston, TX on 2005-07-03
This is a really good workout for your lighter days, but do not be mistaken it is still a challenge. This video has a weights segment, aerobics segment, toning and streching. I have read other reviews that said this video was not a good workout. They are wrong! You simply have to take your personal intensity up a notch. For example use hand weights in the aerobic section, and increase your speed while jumping higher. There are two groups in the class a slower pace group and faster pace group. Follow the group that best suits you. This is a great all around workout that lasts about an hour. I would do the whole video to get a better burn. And take the costumes and music with a grain of salt. I would rather do a video with average looking people in dated clothes than some of these newer videos with uber fit perfect people in them. Give this video a chance it is worth it.

EXCELLENT WORKOUT

by VIOLET from New York, NY USA on 2010-06-14
I LOVE THIS WORKOUT.

DID IT LAST NIGHT. IT WAS GREAT.

I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS DVD.

Jane is great, as always.

by sydneywoman from Sydney, Australia on 2010-04-14
I bought this DVD years ago and have "done it to death". It's always great to have Jane in the living room and work out with her and her friends. I have learned to modify some parts as my body is not perfect and I have had surgery on my spine in the last few years. I have tried the gym and walking but still come back to Jane as my favourite. I have recently bought her latest DVD for abs, buns and thighs and appreciate having a new DVD again. I am now 64 years old and Jane still makes my life more enjoyable with her fitness regime.

Fantastic for the Ladies!!

by C. Bottaro from New York on 2010-02-24
I have always enjoyed Jane Fonda's workouts. This one does it "all"!! Works the whole body and reduces stress!!

It Worked Then--It Still Works Now

by MG in Oklahoma from on 2010-02-13
I just started working out again after being lazy and sedentary for TOO many years. I was excited to find that you could still purchase the Jane Fonda workout collection. It does the job in a fun and enjoyable manner. Some things never change...and what works to get one in shape hasn't changed that much. Even though the gals' hair and such look a tad bit out of date (haha), the girls still look FANTASTIC!! Excellent price for the collection. MG in Oklahoma

Workout with Jane on the move!

by from London on 2003-05-13
As any Fondette (A follower of Jane Fonda Aerobics) or fitness enthusiast will tell you, one of the hardest things is to maintain your fitness program whilst on the move. Now, thanks to Jane Fonda's Complete Workout CD, you can just bring your CD diskman where ever you go and play! What is so great about this workout?Jane has taken her most popular workout (to this day it is still popular) and modified it for using in different than normal places (small spaces) It comes with a poster so you can follow along. You can still burn alot of pounds with this, just like the visual verson. A must!

JF Workout Continues to Hold Its Own

by K. Jones from Chicago IL USA on 2009-12-30
I first used this workout program, using only the book, when it first came out in the 1980s. (I used a Michael Jackson LP for the music!) Like another reviewer, I also am 54 and would get up at 5am to do this workout before heading for the commuter train to work. I was also then taking dance classes, and was immediately struck (and reassured) by some of the similarities between the JF workout and a dance class warm-up. Fast forward to today -- weight work, cardio, and Iyangar yoga make up my workout week. But today, for the first time, I took a mat Pilates class at the gym, which made me think of the JF workout. Unfortunately, I got rid of my original book many years ago when we moved, but I plan to buy it again soon! I have realized that it's truly timeless.

Is this out again?

by Laura Turner from Michigan, U.S. on 2009-11-24
I first got this book, along with the audio tape, when I was 21. I'm 54 now. Jane did a lot of things in her life I do not support, however, this book I definately do. At the time of my life, it's historical. She actually gave me the courage to be myself, use my own energy, etc, etc. I'd get up each morning at 5:00 a.m. and listen to the audio tape and do the workout and then go to work and it literally saved my life. I lost 50 pounds and have never regained it, even after having two children. Her dicussion of Katherine Hepburn was certainly inspirational. Just decide you're worth it and you'll be happy you bought the book and did it! I just hope they re-release the audio as well as the book. I have very serene memories of working out to "Wasting Away Again in Magaritaville"! Always loved it.

GREAT FITNESS BOOK FOR BODY AND LIFE

by Lynn from Houston, TX on 2005-07-26
I purchased this book based on three things. One I wanted to see an example of Jane Fonda's original 1982 workout(hard to find/expensive). Two I love almost all of JF workouts. Three the one review I read confirmed I needed this for my collection. This is truly a wonderful book I can see why it was a best seller. This book offers information on a wide range of subjects from self-esteem, diet, social and enviromental issues, not to mention the two workouts. This was a great buy.
This book offers a begginer and advanced workout. Each workout begins with warm-up and ends with a cool down. At the begging of each exercise routine there is a list of music that could accompany the exercise. This can be used as a guide to choosing your own music. Both routines have an aerobics, arms, waist, abs, hips and thighs, bottocks. The workouts last about 30-45 for beginner and 40-60 mins for advanced. The cardio portion of both workouts are simple but short, however you can easily extend it.
This workout is great for the flexibility it offers. This is a workout that you can truly make your own. You could even do it while you are watching television. One of the things I really liked was making my own music to this workout. Being abel to chose your own music that you enjoy, really keeps you going. This is great if you like to make compilation tapes or cds.
Now I know what your thinking I don't go for exercise books. And for the most part I would agree, with all the page turning reading descriptions and the pictures that make no sense. But this is written and shown in a very clear manner. Over time this should just be a guide. Because you should start to memorize the workout.
This is a great workout if your short on time or you don't feel like going to the gym of even putting a exercise tape in the vcr. This workout out is total body toning. You could even use light hand weights during some of the arm movements for extra work. However some of the movements can be jarring and hard on the joints. Just modify it to fit your own personal needs. If it feels wrong don't do it. If you like this workout I would recommend Jane Fonda's New Workout Book or VHS and Jane Fonda's Women Coming of Age and Jane Fonda's Easy Going Workout.

It still works!

by from London on 2003-05-30
As an experiment, I decided to use this book for two weeks with the suggested music. To my amazement, it really works! I'm just 20 and so it is a huge novelty not to follow a tv screen.In the book, Jane doesn't just address aerobics, but where society places people in life, the enviroment and healthy eating.I now have this workout on DVD so really use the book as reference to healthy living.You would have thought that it would be hard to follow a book to workout with. But it isn't. For every move there are professionally taken indepth photographs with descriptions.You really use this book until you remember the moves off by heart. But it's use doesn't stop there as it is jam packed with so much information.And the funny thing is it feels better working out in the absense of a television screen.

Redmon Bench Press Set It's not about vanity or unrealistic beauty standards. It's about your child's present and future health and well being.

Redmon believes children's exercise should be fun, exciting, and safe, and inspire them to permanently maintain an active lifestyle. The Redmon Bench Press Set encourages children to move with healthy activity based recreation. Safety tested and approved for children 3-8 years old, it features a weight bench that allows them to perform bench presses, leg curls and leg lifts with weights appropriate for their age and size.

Just like the real thing!

by Jake20 from on 2010-02-10
This is a very solid piece of kids equipment.. No plastic parts here. The frame is made of real metal, and is extremely sturdy and well built.
Its like a real miniature workout bench! I do wish the bench was adjustable, but its no big deal.
My son is only 2 1/2 so its perfect for him, but I can see it being a little small for bigger kinds.

But well worth the price.. I highly recommend!

I bought this for my nephew(he is almost 4) for Christmas. He likes to try and workout with me, so I thought he would like this. It was the first thing he ran to Christmas morning. I agree with the review on using this for children 5 years or younger(maybe 6).

Great - but for smaller kids

by E. Klein from California on 2009-12-28
This kids weight bench is great on many levels. I take my 6 year old son to the gym's "kids club" several times a week and he often wants to go to the workout area to "exercise like Daddy does." This bench is a fantastic way to stress the importance of exercise and health at a young age and, from what I can tell, there are no other products like it. However, I had to return it because it was too small. The box says it's good for kids up to 7 but my son is 6 and it's already way too small for him. He's a big bigger than normal but not an extremely large child. I would recommend this only for 5 year olds and younger. Too bad, they should make it a bit larger. I could see a larger version of something like this being useful until a child is maybe 10 years old (if it had the option of using real weights).

Tired of ineffective workouts that sound great but produce less-than-optimal results? Turn to the P90X Extreme Home Fitness system, a bundle of 12 sweat-inducing, muscle-pumping workouts designed to transform your body from regular to ripped in just 90 days. Hosted by personal trainer Tony Horton, the series of DVDs will help you get lean, bulk up, or grow stronger, with an endless variety of mix-and-match routines to keep you motivated. The secret behind the P90X system is an advanced training technique called "muscle confusion," which accelerates the fitness process by constantly introducing new moves and routines so that your body never plateaus and you never get bored. The more you confuse the muscle, the harder your body has to work to keep up. And the more variety you put into your workout, the better and faster your results will be. By breaking old routines and opening new doors, secondary and tertiary muscles are constantly being activated and developed. In addition to the 12 DVD workouts, the P90X comes with a comprehensive three-phase nutrition plan, specially designed supplement options, a detailed fitness guide packed with valuable information on how to get the most from your program, a How to Bring It DVD that provides a quick overview of the system, a calendar to track your progress, online peer support, and much more. The DVD Workouts Each of the 12 highly diverse and intense DVD workouts focuses on either a specific set of muscle groups or a unique training technique. Workout One: Chest & Back. This superset chest-and-back-blasting workout emphasizes two classic upper-body exercises--push-ups and pull-ups--to build strength and develop shape. The combination of these two push and pull movements will help you burn loads of calories while simultaneously attacking, strengthening, and developing multiple muscle groups. Workout Two: Plyometrics. Get ready to go airborne. Offering more 30 explosive jumping moves, this intense cardio routine will keep you in the air most of the time. Plyometrics, also known as jump training, has been proven to dramatically improve athletic performance. If your sport involves a ring, rink, field, court, or track, this training will give you the edge. Just be prepared to "bring it" for a full hour when you leap into this workout, because there is no letting up. Workout Three: Shoulders & Arms. Nothing rounds out the perfect physique like a pair of well-defined arms and shoulders, and with its potent combination of pressing, curling, and fly movements, this routine will leave you feeling stronger and looking sexier. Whether you want to build muscle mass or just slim and tighten what you've already got, these targeted shoulder and arm exercises will give you the results you want. Workout Four: Yoga X. Yoga is a vital part of any fitness regimen, and is an absolute must for an extreme program like P90X. This routine combines strength, balance, coordination, flexibility, and breath work to enhance your physique and calm your mind. Yoga X will leave you feeling energized, invigorated, and maybe even a little enlightened. Workout Five: Legs & Back. Get ready to squat, lunge, and pull for a total-body workout like no other. While the main focus of this workout lies in strengthening and developing the leg muscles (quads, hamstrings, glutes, and calves), there are also a handful of great pull-up exercises to give your legs a quick breather while you work the upper body. Workout Six: Kenpo X. Kenpo X was created to give P90X users a high-intensity cardiovascular workout packed with lots of punching and kicking combinations to improve balance, endurance, flexibility, and coordination. During this workout you'll learn some of the most effective ways to defend yourself, while at the same time getting your body in peak condition. Workout Seven: X Stretch. Stretching is the one thing that will help you achieve a higher level of athleticism over a longer period of time. The X Stretch routine is an integral part of the program, as it helps prevent injuries and avoid plateaus. The extensive full-body stretches that make up this routine use disciplines from Kenpo karate, hatha yoga, and various sports to ensure that your body is fully prepared to meet all P90X challenges head-on. Workout Eight: Core Synergistics. Each and every exercise in the Core Synergistics workout recruits multiple muscle groups to build and support the core (lumbar spine and trunk muscles), while at the same time conditioning your body from head to toe. Loaded with a variety of fun, unique, and challenging exercises, this routine will get you moving in all directions to maximize your P90X results. Workout Nine: Chest, Shoulders, & Triceps. Packed with an array of moves that target both large and small muscles, this workout will do wonders for your upper body. In just one full sequence you'll get a healthy dose of presses, flys, and extensions to push you to the brink. The results will be a stronger, leaner, and highly defined upper torso that will leave you looking awesome, with or without a shirt. Workout 10: Back & Biceps. With a host of curls and pull-ups, this routine will make it fun to flex those powerful biceps. But don't worry, ladies--by using lighter weight, you can focus on toning and tightening these showcase arm muscles without adding the size that most guys covet. Additionally, this workout also provides some great back definition that everyone can appreciate. Regardless of your goals, you will achieve them in dramatic fashion if you dig in and max out your reps. Workout 11: Cardio X. This low-impact cardio routine can be used in a variety of ways to meet your P90X goals. Use it in addition to your standard P90X workload when you want to burn some extra calories, or as a substitute if your body needs a break from the program's high-impact workouts. Whatever your reason for using Cardio X, you'll find it a fun, full-throttle, fat-burning workout that will leave you feeling lean and mean. Workout 12: Ab Ripper X. The combination and sequence of movements in this unique workout taps into not only abdominal strength, but true core strength as well. Master these 11 highly effective exercises and you will achieve vital abdominal muscle strength to benefit your overall health and physical performance. You'll also develop that highly coveted six-pack as you take Ab Ripper X to full throttle. It's extreme work that's better than any machine in any club. P90X Fitness Guide This is your road map and your plan of attack for using P90X. Learn guidelines for getting started and essential tips for how to make the most of the program. The fitness guide provides you tips to reduce your chance of injury; a fit test; recommended supplements and equipment; detailed instructions for stretching, warming up, and performing exercises; and guidelines to help you select which P90X phase to complete, whether Classic, Doubles, or Lean. The Nutrition Plan Following the P90X nutrition plan is just as vital to your overall success as any of the extreme workouts in this program. Specifically designed to work in tandem with the P90X workout routines, this three-phase eating plan recommends the perfect combination of foods to satisfy your body's energy needs every step of the way. P90X is not about quick fixes or miracle diets. It's about selecting the healthy foods that you want to eat, and determining the portion amounts that will provide your body with the right amount of fuel to excel during exercise. The P90X nutrition plan offers three phases. Phase 1 is the Fat Shredder, a high-protein-based diet designed to help you strengthen your muscles while simultaneously and rapidly shedding fat from your body. Phase 2 is the Energy Booster, a balanced mix of carbohydrates and proteins with a lower amount of fat to achieve additional energy for performance. And Phase 3 is the Endurance Maximizer, an athletic diet of complex carbohydrates, lean proteins, and lower fat, with the emphasis on more carbohydrates. You'll need this combination of foods as fuel to get the most out of your final few weeks and truly be in the best shape of your life.

GREAT value

by Matthew David Ritchey from Hollywood, CA USA on 2010-09-01
As with any exercise product (especially those shown in informercials late at night when you're gorging on Doritos and thinking it would be nice to have a six-pack....... abs or beer...), it's completely worthless unless you choose to change your lifestyle and commit to the program. But if you're willing to take it seriously, you can't beat P90X.

Not only does the program come complete with specific nutrition information, a variety of workouts and an interactive website, but Tony Horton is always saying "Do your best and forget the rest" and reassuring you that even if you can't do the current workout now, you'll be able to do it in a few weeks if you stick with it. And he's right. Strength and endurance grows very quickly and if you follow the diet plan, you'll see results quickly.

I pause to mention that I started P90X over a summer where I could eat for free at work and so did NOT, in fact, follow the diet guide. Consequently, I didn't see the results that many people post online. HOWEVER, as a test, it was a success. Why? Because even though I wasn't as streamlined as I could/should have been, I've seen HUGE leaps in my strength and endurance and definite change in my physique. So using the diet guide correctly, you should see amazing results.

The workouts are TOUGH and some are LONG (an hour and a half of Yoga), especially if you're relatively new to working out. Most likely, you won't be able to hang with some of them all the way through even after two months - but this is a great motivator, as long as you don't let it get you down! There are two camps about Tony Horton's training style - you either love how corny he is or he gets annoying quickly. Either way, his motivation far outweighs whatever you may think of his style and the handy time bar and visual prompts for each exercise make it easy to follow what's going on should you wish to use your own music mix and turn down the video volume.

Another great motivator, by the way, is the included DVD "How To Bring It" where Tony shows you a short version of how the whole system works and gets you excited about doing the program. On days when I truly did NOT want to exercise, I'd force myself to watch this DVD and a bunch of the P90X Results videos posted on YouTube for inspiration. It never failed.

I HIGHLY suggest purchasing an array of weighted exercise bands at the same time you purchase P90X. They're mandatory unless you already own or plan to buy both a pull-up bar and a full set of dumbells. You won't be able to do the program unless you have these.

The website is great for not only planning and recording your workouts (which is a great motivator) but for connecting with other people using the program and getting answers to questions you may have. There is an additional fee to use some of the online things, but you can set up a profile and do many helpful things for free.

I never thought I'd work out at home and I certainly never thought I'd use an exercise video. But if you commit to pressing play every day, you quickly find that the workouts are so engaging (and sometimes so difficult) that your brain goes on autopilot and you put all your energy into the workout instead of wandering around a gym waiting for a bench to open up or trying to remember what comes next in your routine. Well worth it.

"Come on, come on, Bring it! X me!"

DVD's unplayable or skip - Seller unresponsive

by cjraye from on 2010-09-01
I wanted these DVD's for a long time and finally the price was right. Free shipping and speedy delivery was a bonus. The problem was with the quality of the disks. Everyone of them are scratched from the way they are packaged I suspect. They come in a wallet. The sleeves are made of some type of construction paper.

Once I made the commitment to start the program I discovered the effects of the scratches... skips and freezing. I am still on phase one, 6 disks and 2 of them are faulty. I have attempted to contact this seller Five Times without a response. The P90X program, price and speed of delivery gets a 5, the sellers customer service, response to your issues and quality of merchandise gets a zero.

Purchase from this seller at your own risk. If you're lucky enough to get disks that play, you'll be very happy with your purchase and savings.

Note: Don't even try to read the user guide, you'll drive yourself nuts with all the typo's. I'm not just talking about a few... there are hundreds.

Just like new

by Conman from on 2010-08-30
This product was in terrific shape for being a used product, might as well have been new. Also came quickly as ordered.

Worked for me

by Peaceful Idiot from on 2010-08-30
Let me preface my review by saying that I've never stepped foot in a gym or lifted a weight in my life before I started using Beachbody products. I am 5'10" and was 225 lbs and had zero definition when I started (obese bmi...). I read the reviews here and started with Power 90 on Jan 3rd, 2010. All you need for that one is dumbbells or bands. I lost 40 pounds. Power 90 is pretty short and includes stretching and cool down, which was very appealing to me. It was basically two workouts you alternate for the first 45 days, and two more slightly more intense ones for the last 45 days. I also think Tony Horton is good at motivating.

Power 90 was a great prep for p90x, after 90 days of power 90 I was able to get into p90x. Granted I couldn't do many pull ups when I started p90x but I can now that I've done it a while. Goals. Download and fill out the sheets in p90x. Track your progress.

For p90x, I needed a pull up bar (or bands), and I got a yoga block (highly recommended!) and pad too (and have since gotten some mats for plyo), I lost 20 pounds. Much more intense than Power 90, longer and more varied. I was only able to do 1 pull up when I started, I was able to do 10 by the end of the first round and can do 12 or so now. Yoga is the longest at 90 minutes, if I don't have 90 minutes I only do the first half, it is split between 45 minutes of Ashtunga Yoga - Sun Salutations and Vinyasas - and 45 minutes of poses. I do the stretch about half of the time, the other half I take the "rest" option, heh. I usually do abs for 20 minutes (see below) during my lunch hour at work. Just do your best and forget the rest :p

I'm currently on second round and have lost another 10 pounds. I read about combining the Ab Ripper 200 from Power 90 with 20 reps each (instead of the usual 25) of Ab Ripper X, so I tried that and like it and do it instead of Ab Ripper X. I also heard a lot people combine two of the cardio routines from Beachbody's Insanity program with three days of p90x resistance (plus Yoga and Stretch) to mix it up a bit. I really like the yoga, I try and do the 10 minutes of Yoga on the Cardio X routine every mourning (I haven't done doubles, which supplements another cardio routine into the mix, increasing the frequency according to the diet plan).

I followed the diet plan for both Power 90 (calorie deficit) and for p90x. I prefer the portion plan and have never used any of the recipes in the nutrition guides, although I may check out the salad dressings. The only Beachbody supplement I take is the recovery drink.

Bottom line, I was fat and now I'm not. I've lost 70 pounds and am 15% body fat, working towards single digits. I am great shape and feel great, all thanks to Beachbody. It works. If you aren't already fit enough to get through Power 90, than I recommend starting there instead of getting right into p90x, Power 90 doesn't cost as much plus you don't need to purchase a pull up bar or yoga block. I would recommend a set of the adjustable dumbbells that you can continue to use them in p90x. If you like Power 90 and/or max it out (or are already fit) you can "upgrade" from Power 90 to p90x, adding a pull up bar and a yoga block/pad to go along with the dumbbells.

This will get you in shape

by Stephanie Jones from Livermore, CA on 2010-08-29
These workouts are tough, and they will get you in shape. Some of the moves on the yoga DVD are advanced and should not be done by beginners. You don't need a lot of fancy equipment, but you really have to be dedicated. Tony is entertaining to watch.

Reviews

it does work, if followed conscientously..

by sun2008 from new york, ny on 2010-09-02
i've been a runner for over 10 years, and wanted to add a little core and upper body strength for a change during this past winter, as i was mostly confined indoors. i have to be honest that i was already in pretty good shape, i'm not an ultra marathoner but would do a 15 mile run about once a week or every other week. this program was horribly tough. as a woman, my body actually skipped a cycle while i was doing it. now that i've finished and eased up on it (use it mainly for maintenance purposes), my body has resumed its normal pre Shaun T cycles.

the most difference i've seen is definitely in my upper arms/shoulders area. coincidentally i was away from my husband for a few months while following this program for work reasons. when he saw me he was actually taken aback and told me that my shoulders and upper arms are really pronounced. i guess i couldn't tell the difference; i saw myself every day. but he has since been inspired to be a Shaun T fan.

Best Workout Ever!!!

by Xiomara Perez from Cleveland, OH on 2010-09-01
"Insane" is an understatement when it comes to describe this workout. Get ready to sweat and work every part of your body!!! First week is the hardest because you will be really sore. I do recommend the recovery drink after the workout. It does help with the sore muscles and you will feel better the next day after the workout. Shaun T will keep you motivated. Insanity is never boring! This workout will push you to the limit, but it will absolutely get you in good shape. "Dig deeper" people!!!!!

It's insane alright.

by feminist military spouse from Akron, OH on 2010-08-30
No, I was not in awesome or even great shape when I started this, like most people who seem into this workout. And I should mention I am only on Week 3, but the results are AMAZING, already.
What I love about INSANITY is that I really feel like I have accomplished something at the end of each workout. I see the results in my body (I take a photo of myself at the beginning of each week as a reminder).
The important things to know are: 1) it's okay to modify the exercise (assuming you are familiar with the techniques) if you don't quite have the physical strength yet, 2) knowing some good breathing techniques will help you immensely, because this will really push you to the limit, 3) Go at your own pace, because whatever it is, it will still give you results, 4)you absolutely must be good to your body...no hard landings.
I see the most dramatic change so far in my core. Everything is stronger, tighter. I think you need to be able to do a boot camp style workout in order to be able to do this successfully. I took one at my local gym before starting this and I am really glad I did because this is way more intense.
In addition to the physical changes, I have to say there is an emotional boost to doing this. I feel awesome about how much I have improved already, and just how I am doing something that makes me really sweat.
My only, paltry gripe is that I wish the meal plan had some on the go style options, because I am a grad student and I have to eat on the go a lot.

Awesome Purchase...

What an amazing set of DVD workouts. They are short and to the point. 5 lbs lost in 2 weeks, not too bad. VERY happy with my purchase!

This Ain't No Dance Video

by Thomas Laporte from on 2010-08-29
Open the asylum. Shaun T's Insanity from Beachbody provides one of the most grueling cardio programs available. Shaun T. enjoys great popularity with his body shaping dance videos. Insanity is something altogether different. Hear me, this is not a weight loss program and it is NOT designed for the sedentary. Insanity's 60 day program builds endurance and strength for the serious athlete or the exercise enthusiast.

The good news is once you buy the DVDs you do not need to purchase anything more to successfully complete the routines. A nutrition guide comes with program. I highly recommend you follow it to achieve maximum results. Other suggestions include: wear a good pair of cross trainer shoes, use an exercise mat and work out in a place where you can sweat profusely, as you will perspire like rain during the daily exercises.

I've been reading reviews of the Insanity program from various sources. It's clear to me that like many things in life, you get what you put into it. I took a lot away from the 60 day challenge. I found this to be as mentally and physically challenging as anything I've ever encountered. Physically, I am now at a personal peak. Furthermore, I improved on my Fit Test at each two week interval and made significant gains from beginning to end.

It wasn't a joy ride, though. I sustained minor injuries to my toe, hand, and wrist, as well as irritating my right knee. So many times I wanted to stop, not just the program overall, but actually stop mid-exercise. I wanted to throw up my hands and scream, "Why am I torturing myself?" Honestly, I can't tell you how I found the will in those moments to "dig deeper," but somehow I did. However, I can unequivocally tell you I am thrilled I did. Now, not only do I feel good, but I know there is something inside of me that can go further and push harder.

Hip Hip ABs

by April from on 2010-08-28
Fun,easy to follow, and definitely works your abs! The vocals should be louder. I found it is difficult to hear the steps being called. The cardio routine is a good work out. If you are putting forth the effort, you will be sweating. I would recommend this package to someone who is interested in working out at home and wants to concentrate on the abs. A great way to exercise!

Fun but need more...

by Harley Chick from on 2010-08-28
Although this workout is fun to do I don't feel like it is much of a workout. I went from this to P90X and now that is a workout.

Clumpy and more expensive

by J. M. Nickey from Denver on 2010-08-30
This mix is overly clumpy. Which makes it a pain in the ass to mix by shaking (and who keeps a blender in their gym bag?).

It is also overpriced in comparison to Ultragen RS-Recovery which mixes and digests much more easily.

Buy the Ultragen, save money and get a better product.

Worth the money, without a doubt

by Skylar C. Scaling from Colorado Springs, CO on 2010-08-20
My primary concern about buying the recovery drink was price. "Why pay that much for drink powder?" I foolishly asked myself.

Bottom line, it tastes great, is actually very good value for a month supply, and most importantly WORKS!

Among other important ingredients and amino acids, this powder contains 2 CRITICAL ingredients: Creatine and Potassium. Potassium helps your body break down lactic acid and reduces soreness after hard workouts (which you get with P90X), and Creatine helps your muscles recover more quickly after workouts so you can work harder during the next workout.

Summary: This recovery drink will keep you from suffering after your hard workouts by allowing your body to recover quickly without soreness. Also, it tastes great. The price is actually very reasonable for what it does. And ~$50 a month isn't really a huge cost, IMO.

Taste Just Like a Dreamcicle Ice Cream on a Stick

by Roy A. Ramsey from Clover, SC on 2010-08-08
Being a woman and not use to doing P90X I really wasn't looking forward to drinking anything that was nasty tasting after the hard workout that Tony Horton puts you through. My husband and I both do the work out together and have our after exercise drink afterwards. Neither of us can't wait to drink it. To be honest I would drink this as a treat. I put 12oz. of water into a plastic measuring cup and place it in the freezer for about 20 minutes before time to get the water really cold. I take out of freezer and dump 2 scoop fulls of mix into the water/ice and put the head of the Wolf Gang Puck Bistro blender down into the cup of water and blend until all the powder is disolved which isn't too long. I make sure the blender is set on low so the water doesn't come flying out of the cup. Next I pour the liquid mix into the round container and put the top on and attach the blender to that and turn things up to high and I run it until everything is frothy. I've used a few ice cubes a couple of times but this make more of a milkshake thickness which when your hot you just want to drink down the liquid not sip on it. The lightness and cool taste is perfect for rewarding a hard workout. I've heard horror stories about health drinks but this one doesn't come close to being nasty tasting. Now I have to say this I asked my physical therapist about the drink because I went on a diet and he said that carbohydrate to protein is too high and the high sugar content was too high. Also it has simple sugars which he said was very bad for you. OTHER than that it seemed to be good for you. I know that it defintely helped in keeping the soreness down and for me that was a big factor and of course with all that sugar content you can count on having a needed pickup afterwards. My husband loves it as much as I do and even though its around $50 a tub we feel it's worth it. I'm not drinking it now because of the sugar and I really miss it!

Doesn't taste as good as they say

by Niki Pados from on 2010-07-28
I bought the GNC Version of the recovery drink, and found the tastes wasn't that great. SO i went and bought the p90x recovery drink, and was hoping for a better taste. It tastes like a bad Creamsicle.
I can barley drink it. I have to plug my nose to get it down.
If you aren't a fan of citrus shakes, then I don't recommend this drink. I know that when I run out, I'm going back to GNC. I do recommend taking the recovery drink, as it helps you body recover. I forgot to take it one day and I was really sore the next morning.

by Ann Stone from Salt Lake City on 2009-05-15
This is a geat workout! But be aware all you Turbo Jamers, this is much more difficult then any of the other DVD's. I can pretty much breeze through the other DVD's, while this one left me panting and sore. Of course, this is a good thing!

What I really like about this DVD is that it is so different from the other Turbo Jam workouts. I really like Turbo Jam, but Jamers know that each DVD is pretty much the same; same movements just changed up a bit. Also, sometimes I feel that each section is just a little too repetitive. Not so with this DVD. This was a refreshing change. I like it!

Turgo Jam Total Body Blast

by L. Stewart from on 2009-04-21
I just recently received this DVD did the workout and I can't believe I paid 42.99 for this, anybody know why this one was so expensive compared to her other workouts. I did break a sweat, probabley will do it again. I am big fan of her other DVD,s, I own 3 others. Maybey I expected so much more for the price I paid, I guess I feel ripped off, this one is not as fun to do. I would not recommend this DVD especially for the price you pay.

Fantastic Ball Workout!!!

by Shirla De Magalhaes from San Diego, California, USA on 2009-01-10
I own most of the Turbo Jam videos, and today I did Total Body Blast for the first time and it was AMAZING! I love all of Chalene's videos, but this is the only one so far that has actually left my arms and shoulders feeling sore! I would have never known that a ball would make me work out even more than the weights! It's a longer workout, 60 minutes, but definitely worth every second!!! The entire 60 minutes are in intervals mixing cardio and abs, using the ball in every section, from warm-up to cool down!

Love it!!!!

Great DVD a must for Chalene Johnson lovers!

by Jennifer Butts from Los Angeles, CA United States on 2008-11-11
This workout is really great! I love how she works the ball in, some cardio, then ball work, back and forth. It is a 60 minute DVD, but really doesn't seem like it! It is a must to your Chalene Johnson collection. I wish she would do more DVD's with the ball. The ball gives you a really good workout! The music is good. This is another one that I include in my favs. You will want to add it to your collection.

THE BEST

by J. Soto from on 2008-10-27
This is the hardest and most intense of the turbo jam DVDs i love this video it is way better than the other ball DVD because you use it the who time i definitely recommend this video you will get an incredible work out! It sculpts the shoulders and the abs with some lunges as well.

Meh

by Seetz from on 2010-09-02
Does smell of chemicals when you take it out of the box but it disapates by the time you're ready to use it. It is somewaht sturdy but I've seen better.
The 20 exercise booklet is retarded.
Assembly was cake.
Overall, not a bad purchase but I have used better similar products.

I am a little concerned about any damage it might do to the door I have it in considering I live in an apartment.

Also, it is very bulky compared to similar products.

you get what you pay for

by Jon Jon from on 2010-09-01
Putting it together was a little tricky, as you have to make sure that when you tighten the screws, someparts dont go crooked (as that might make the bar not level on the doorway). While it is sturdy and safe to use, I didn't know if my doorway could take this much pressure so I stopped using it. But i did notice some scuff marks from the handle bars on the outside edges of the doorframe, so if you use it, you might want to put a towel or something there in between to avoid this.

worth your money

by C*nt Destroyer from on 2010-08-30
you do get what you buy. you haveta be dumb as hell if you dont know how to assemble it, thats why it doesnt come with instructions. anyways, it is pretty costly though but its worth it[:

Get's the job done.

by G. Brothers from on 2010-08-28
This pull up bar for the door was easy to put together.
It fits the doors in my house well but if you have trim that is made of soft wood, such as pine, it will mark and dent.
There is something off on the machining of the parts. While my doorway is level, when the bar is in place, the bar itself is off kilter.
You can still do a pull up but it should not have this defect. So while you will get a pullup done, you may want to consider one of the other door bars for sale.

P90X'ers, this bar works.

by Robert T. Cupp from on 2010-08-22
If your are going to do P90X, you may consider the 7 position pull up bar from Beach Body for $60 or $70. Don't bother, buy this one. I completed P90X and am now doing P90X Plus and this bar is still going strong. Save some $ and don't forget to Bring It! every day! Good luck with your fitness goals.

Excellent HR Monitor Watch

by JR from Baltimore, MD on 2010-07-13
I am really pleased with this HR monitor watch. Being a woman, I wanted something sturdy yet not so big it dominated my arm. This fits the bill - very adjustable size wize (both the watch and the chest strap). I am average height, but carry most of my weight in my stomach. The chest strap fits very comfortably to me, and the new feature of being able to simply wet the cloth contacts is great (I was used to the old school hard plastic contacts).

According to the product information, you can actually wash the chest strap in the washer - haven't tried it yet.

Fairly easy to use once you get used to which button controls which feature. Advice - when you are setting the watch up for the first time, have the manual in front of you. I accidentally deleted my settings the first few times.

Using the watch while jogging and walking is very easy - the screen is much easier to read than other products I have tried. I was most interested in tracking heart rate, calories burned, and some basics of how I was working out in the fat burning and fitness zones. This watch does a great job with that - afetr you complete a workout it produces a simple summary of total cals burned, how many minutes you spent in far burn vs fitness, and your average heart rate.

I am sure hard core runners want something more than tracks mileage, but I tried a watch like that and found it too cumbersome. Since I am merely using this for fitness, it works perfectly.

Great Display

by Bert from on 2010-08-08
This product worked just as described. I love the large display especially when in HR monitoring mode.

Great Product

by Delbert Fischer from on 2010-08-02
I am 74 years old and had open heart surgery in December of last year and was advised during my cardiac rehab to keep my heart rate under 110. During rehab, I always wore a heart monitor. However, after I got out on my own, I needed a device that would allow me to monitor my heart rate while exercising. The Polar FT4 has worked perfectly. It transmits my heart rate to all of the exercise machines that I use at my health club and allows me to follow my doctors orders. It is a great device and I highly recommend it to anyone wishing to monitor their heart rate.

works as advertised

by customer from on 2010-06-24
It has worked great from the start. Only two caveats - we ordered a woman's model for my wife, and it came with an XXL strap (the same as what came with mine). This caused problems as it was too big. However, Polar shipped a smaller one immediately upon request. The other complaint I have is that you can not see total time within your aerobic zone while you are in a session. You get that when you stop, but not within the session. So, you can see how long you've been exercising and current heart rate and calories burned, but not time in aerobic zone. The main reason I bought this was to maximize time spent in the zone. It still works, I just have to pay closer attention to when I'm in/out within the workout. I'm not sure if other models provide that view or not.

Exactly what I was looking for

by Duane W. Richards from Cedar Hills, UT United States on 2010-05-30
I'm new to heart rate monitors, so I had a lot of searching to do to figure out what I needed from one before I placed my order. I soon found that the Polar brand was the one to get, but they have hundreds of models, ranging from affordable to incredible. I know some will say this model doesn't have it all, but if you're looking for something to keep you informed of your progress in your exercise routine, this is really all you need. Tracking up to 10 sessions worth of data, but also keeping a running total, the watch can tell you how long you worked out, your average heart rate, maximum reached, and time in the zone, and from that, how many calories you burned. It beeps softly at you every 5 seconds or so when you're under the zone, and also tells you when you've exceeded your maximum. The display is really easy to read, even in the middle of vigorous training session. The watch in comfortable and easy to clean, as is the chest strap, which is fully adjustable. I have no complaints at all, and for the price, I'm extremely pleased. I only wish there was a way to download the training files from the watch to my computer, but a spreadsheet also works just fine.

Solid Basic HR Monitory

by Randy P. Rasmussen from Salt Lake City, UT United States on 2010-05-17
I needed a simple heart rate monitor to use in Spinning classes. This is a solid performer for basic heart rate or % max readouts. Nice big numbers for easy reading even in the dim light of a morning spin class. I comes with the fabric chest strap that is a little more comfortable than the standard hard plastic.

Get an effective, low-impact workout with the innovative and uniquely compact Stamina InMotion E1000 Elliptical. This perfectly sized workout companion gives you an effective cardiovascular workout with damaging impact on your knees, hips, back or ankles. This miniature fitness machine features adjustable tension so you can control the intensity of your workout and includes non-slip pedals for ultimate safety. The foot pedals can be worked in both the forward and reverse directions so you can work your lower body in different ways. And, an electronic fitness monitor tracks number of strides per minute, total number of strides, workout time and calories burned to keep you motivated and moving toward your fitness goals. Theres even a scan function that lets you monitor all your stats. The InMotion Elliptical is so compact and lightweight it can fit easily under a desk or in a closet! So workout wherever you are with the compact and convenient Stamina InMotion E1000 Elliptical Trainer.

Forget the gym. Now you can enjoy a full cardio workout in the comfort of your home or office with this compact elliptical trainer from Stamina Products. Unlike full-size ellipticals, this trainer doesn't have arms or a front console. Instead, the trainer is essentially foot pedals only, with a chassis that's small enough to store under a desk or in a closet. Despite the small size, the trainer still packs a workout wallop, letting you burn a similar number of calories as jogging but without the risk of injury to the back, knees, hips, or ankles. Just keep your feet moving on the pedals--which continually oscillate in a low-impact manner--and you're set. Other details include sturdy steel construction, non-slip pedals, and an electronic fitness monitor that tracks the number of strides per minute, total number of strides, exercise time, and calories burned. About Elliptical Trainers Elliptical trainers represent the next wave of advancement in low-impact cardiovascular exercise machines and continue to grow in popularity. By simulating motions experienced through walking, stepping, cycling, and skiing, elliptical machines allow for a smooth and fluid motion while building strength in the arms and legs. Similar to the exercise position for treadmills, elliptical trainers are used by standing in an upright position while holding the handrails of the machine. With elliptical trainers, however, your feet remain in the foot pedals throughout the exercise regimen and circulate in a smooth and seamless motion, resulting in little to no impact on the knees, back, and hips. Elliptical trainers are compatible for all ages and fitness levels and allow you to select the difficulty level through the incline and intensity settings. Additionally, elliptical trainers allow you to determine the complexity of your workout based on your needs, all while listening to music, watching television, or reading a magazine while exercising in the comfort and safety of your own home. Although different types of elliptical trainers offer an assortment of features, many of them include an array of challenging programs, forward and reverse directional movement, EKG grip pulse handles, a lightweight portable design with easy fold-up capability, and a monitor displaying calories burned, distance, speed, time, and heart rate. Other types of exercise machines, namely treadmills and bikes, offer excellent cardiovascular exercise and muscular training for the legs in a forward-motion exercise. Elliptical trainers take this to the next level by offering an upper and lower body workout with dual motion, challenging and diverse programs, and a low-impact exercise machine that won't strain sensitive joints.

Features

• Compact, lightweight elliptical trainer for the home or office
• Foot-pedal-only chassis fits handily under a desk or in a closet
• Low-impact design protects back, knees, hips, and ankles
• Electronic monitor tracks strides, exercise time, and calories
• Sturdy steel construction; non-slip pedals

Darn good workout

by S. Wilson from Corona, CA on 2010-08-30
Because its small you may think the workout won't be a big deal but let me tell you it makes your legs burn and is built very well. Work the money!

great product

This was a great productto replace a mini-stepper which was broken. I feel i get a better workout on the mini-elliptical so i am glad i made the change. Great price too!

Great Little Elliptical!

by Cats&Music from Rockville, MD, USA on 2010-08-12
This elliptical with a small footprint is the perfect choice for anyone living in space-challenged quarters. I assembled it very quickly and without any problems, and so far, I have not experienced problems with balance, jolting or jerkiness while using this machine. Yes, the "stride" is smaller than a gym-sized elliptical, which I expected, but this little machine does give me a good workout. When I'm done, I slide it under the nearby table where it's out of the way. I gave this 4 stars, because the resistance device doesn't work as well as I'd like it to.

5 stars and then some

by Mrs. Tia P. Landrum from Olympia, WA on 2010-08-10
Very easy to set up and I love that it works either standing or sitting. Came highly recommended by a friend and I'm glad I followed her recommendation.

Compact Convenient and Better Core Workout

by sk from Boston, MA USA on 2010-08-09
I found one of these in my trainer's office, tried it, and instantly took down the model to order one. If you like elliptical, you'll love this. Since there's no handle, you'll find that you're working your core and balance to stay on. That's why I bought it. It fits nicely in the corner, small footprint, and reasonably moveable. Recommended.

Exactly what I was looking for so far

by Shane Allen Windham from Dallas, TX on 2010-09-01
I've only had the item for a few days, so it may still be too soon to be writing a review. I'm writing one nonetheless. Setup of the beast was simpler than any piece of workout equipment I've ever put together. There were only 3 parts to attach; 2 of which used simple L joints to put in place. It took all of 5 minutes. This thing does not seem cheaply put together. It's a beast of a machine that I suspect will last and last. The board is, however making some noise when sliding. But I'm fairly sure a bit of WD-40 will stop that in a heartbeat. As other reviewers have said, I'm slightly disappointed that all of the possible workouts weren't listed on the foldout. But they got most of the basics you'll be using drawn up. Fair warning though: unless you're using this at some of the higher tilts, it's going to take up quite a bit of space. That being said, thus far this seems to be an excellent product at an insanely worthwhile price.

Poor shipping, little instruction

by Denise Vergez from on 2010-08-30
When I received this product all the hardware to put it together was missing. It was so poorly boxed for shipping that it fell apart and I don't blame UPS. They did send me the missing parts but by the time I got them it was too late to return and the cost of shipping it back wasn't worth it.

There are very little instructions on assembling the machine and using the machine. It is very heavy and takes up a lot of floor space when in use. It is very hard to store, awkward to fold up and heavy.

I suggest buying equipment like this at a store where you can see it and try it out.

watch your back!

by cirrusD from on 2010-08-29
This product is really only useful for leg press other than that it's useless, unless you have abs of steal and 0% body fat you'll be headed to the chiropractor within a week.

UPS STINKS!

by saveless from on 2010-08-25
I had originally ordered this from a different online store over a month ago. Only to be refunded due to it being on backorder so I found it here a bit more but same item and I wanted it. I checked tracking in anticipatation for it to update to "delivered" status only to find it was noted that customer was not at home (duh work week) and another attempt will be made the following day (Hello...still work week) I called amazon and they got a hold of UPS to see if there was another option. Other than me going to pick it up (the thing is 80lbs and I'm a single grandmother). Looks like I will still never see this item in my home. UPS could not find an option for me. Extremely disapointed. Where is FedEx when you need them?
Oh did I mention that the leasing office which accepts and sign for packages is but a few feet away from my APT?

GREAT DEAL WITH AMAZON CARD!!!

by Opeth666 from on 2010-08-24
Like it so far.One problem I have noticed is the pulley bumps the glide board and immediately tore the vinyl on the upper corner!Bad design unless you make sure you position it correctly before using. It should have had reinforced corner guards on top of glide board.

Just Great

by robert marcus from on 2010-08-24
Need to work out at home and have NO EQUIPMENT?
This book shows you how to use what you have, from nothing, to dumbbells to barbells.
Plenty of visuals to show you how to do each excersize.

Great way to either mix up or supplement your workout

by E. Ford from Cheyenne, WY on 2010-07-14
Great book with illustrations of hundreds of exercises. Furthermore if gives you multiple options and techniques so you aren't doing the same thing over and over again. I was doing P90x and actually memorized some the workouts, however I like this book because on the typical breaks on the video. I can maybe do a another type of move that's not part of the program. Even if you don't have weight equipment it tells you common household items you can use. Good investment.

Finally...A Workout That's Not BORING

by F. McLemore from Silver Spring, MD, USA on 2010-03-23
I recently had foot surgery, and I was on crutches for two and a half months. I found out just HOW out of shape I was. I'm a woman, and like a lot of women, I was doing mainly cardio, not strength training. I have to have surgery on my other foot next fall, so I decided I'm NOT going to get my butt kicked like I did this time, because being on crutches is exhausting. But I also didn't want a "typical woman's workout plan." Most of those are, "Lift a three pound weight three times, then go have a Diet Coke." That won't give me the results I want. So I started looking for a man's workout plan. This book not only has routines that will kick your butt, these exercises and routines are not BORING. There are sections for different types of routines, like just using your body weight, dumbbells, barbells, a pulley system, and fully-equipped exercise stations. There are exercises I've never seen before, which I like. I get tired of the same old trite exercise routines, with exercises I've done before. Yawn. Not with this plan. And there are so many different ways to do the exercises that I know I'll never get bored. The main thing I'm looking for is something I can stay with because I won't get tired of it--and I won't with this. I've already started doing the exercises that I can, because I'm still not fully recovered. But I can't wait to do the whole thing. Very cool book, and I highly recommend it.

Good value

by T. Benhari from Santa Cruz, Calif. on 2009-11-18
Pretty complete discussion of the subject, with good, clear info and lots of illustrations. Even as a lifelong lifter (but not a body-builder) I found a lot of new and important info and exercises. It is well worth the small investment.

Excellent if you just have Dumbbells

by Larry from CT USA on 2009-10-23
This is a very good book esp. for people who work out a lot previously to reading this. It has different variations that you may not have heard of before. The instructions of how to do the workout are pretty plain and assume you already know what you are doing. Lifting without knowing how can lead to extreme shoulder pain and issues

Pretty good book but gets boring after a couple of weeks of doing the same stuff.

I give it a 6 out of 10

Description

For many people, the thought of getting into shape –– or just the act of exercising for that matter –– is like throwing a speeding locomotive into reverse. An enormous amount of energy has to come to a loud, grinding halt in a short period of time, and then slowly begin to move in the opposite direction.Getting into shape, biologically, is a relatively easy process; the hard part, more often than not, is simply getting started. Being physically fit takes commitment, discipline, concentration, and an overall desire to succeed. Making the commitment to physical fitness, in many ways, presents a greater challenge than the weights and workout routines that will follow; and in the beginning, many people make the mistake of training too hard and too fast, causing soreness, frustration, and discouragement. Walking blindly into a gym and grabbing a piece of equipment in the hopes that something will happen will never work. To achieve your fitness goals, you need to plan your work –– and work your plan.Body Mechanics - Beginner's Guide to Fitness helps you create that plan, by helping you understand your body, and the changes beginning an exercise program will play upon it.Body Mechanics - Beginner's Guide to Fitness covers the importance of making a commitment to exercise, and what results you can expect in the first month. How to keep up your motivation, and develop a fitness program that is right for you. Understanding the importance of weight training and cardiovascular training –– and how to get the maximum benefits of both. Knowing the muscles in the human body and detailed instructions on performing different exercises to work each one; employing proper form to achieve maximum results.Changing one’s lifestyle is never easy, especially when food, schedules, and physical exertion are involved. Body Mechanics - Beginner's Guide to Fitness helps ease you into the world of physical fitness. Taking your new exercise program one step at a time helps to condition your body to respond positively to the exciting changes that will come.

Buy this!

by George W. Hastings from Richmond, VA USA on 2009-12-11
I thoroughly enjoyed reading "Beginner's Guide to Fitness". The introduction of the various factors that should be considered was nicely ordered, progressing from the most basic to the more complex, and paralleled my own experiences in working with the Richmond Marathon Training Team in preparation for my first marathon at age 71. I wish that I had read this book before I started my training. It would have made it easier to get this old body back to the necessary amount of strength and endurance necessary to run 26.2 miles. I'm impressed both by the simplicity and the thoroughness of the advice in this book. I'm recommending it to all of my friends!

Looks great on the iPhone!

by Andrew R. Gelfman from Arlington, VA USA on 2009-11-19
I've been reading this book on my iPhone Kindle app while doing my work out and it's really helpful. It is very positive and encouraging and more than once has kept me from slacking off. And having it on my Kindle app on my iPhone means that it's right there when I'm working out, when I actually need it and am thinking about fitness anyway. I have no problem highly recommending this book to everyone.

Description

Modern lifestyle calls for modern technology and attractive design. The exceptional stainless steel and glass design of the seca 807 conceals a highly efficient technology with 4 load cells to ensure precise results.
The scale, which is not only robust but also low-maintenance, is especially suitable for use both in modern, sophisticated hotels and at home thanks to it being uncomplicated and reliable.

Easy, precise weight measurement with step-off function. It could not be easier - with the practical step-off function, the scale is immediately ready for use without having to be switched on. The weight value appears as soon as one steps off the platform. The advantage: the scale automatically adjusts to zero without load (null balance) at each weighing. This takes any changes in the environment into account, thus ensuring reliable results. Scales which display the weight as soon as they are mounted are not nearly as precise.

Easy to read LCD figures and safety-glass platform. An LCD display with 29 mm large figures means that the result can be read quickly and easily.

The Firm-Volume One

by K. from on 2010-02-23
So...yes, she's wearing a yellow leotard and legwarmers but if you can get past that-WHAT A FANTASTIC WORKOUT! This is a tape(literally, since to my knowledge it was never made into a DVD!) that I go back to whenever I'm in a workout funk. It kicks my butt...every time...regardless of how good or bad my fitness level is because I adjust the amount of weight I can handle at any given time. It is an hour long but it works EVERY SINGLE muscle in that time. The aerobic phases are on the shorter side but the weight training will insure you keep your heart pumping and you WILL always reach muscle failure. The moves are NOT hokey or bouncy and dancelike as you would expect of the time period(ok...so MAYBE a TOTAL of 3 minutes of the 60 are but it provides the entertainment portion of the workout along with all the great outfits and short shorts!!) It's just good, solid constant weight lifting with some aerobics and abs. If you still have a VCR, give it a shot...you'll be sore but you won't regret it. A solid 5 stars...I keep coming back.

This 30-minute strength training workout provides firming and great conditioning for the upper body. You get toned, lean sexy-arms. You won't believe how great your upper body will look and feels. Best of all, if you tuck in your abs and draw back your shoulder blades while you're walking, you will get good natural posture into the bargin. - Leslie Sansone

Great video!

by P. Stewart from mountain city, TN United States on 2007-05-30
I love this Leslie Sansone video! This is exactly what I wanted and didn't find until now- a simple workout to target my upper body with simple tried and true exercises, No barbie dolls in skin tight spandex doing impossible girations that a normal person can't do. I would definitely buy this again, and willl recommend it to friends.

BIG RESULTS IN SMALL AMOUNT OF TIME

by Susan Voorhees from Brunswick, Ohio United States on 2005-02-24
I do this video 2-3 times a week and find that I get as good a workout as doing almost 45 mins of freeweights. When I am done with this one, I feel my muscles burning. This is the first time I have seen anyone do a set of exercises one at a time and then incorporate them all together. YOu do a set of bicep curls, then lateral raises, overhead raises and tricep kickbacks. Then you do 2 of each all together. It was fun to do them that way. This tape goes really fast and I would recommend it to anyone who is short of time, but want to do some strength training.

Great way to get rid of those flabby arms

No Joke Workout!

by Sandra Garza from on 2010-07-21
This video is AWESOME! I have always wanted to lift weights, but didn't know where to start. This video is a way to get introduced to weight training and get every muscle worked. I used the 5lb weights to start and let me tell you I was sweating within the first 5-10 minutes. I have always just done cardio workouts, so this was completely new to me. I felt more tired after doing this 30 minute workout video than running for 30 minutes. This was money well spent. I highly recommend this dvd!

Works!

by Sidfirst from on 2010-07-20
I appreciated this DVD because I didn't have to think about what to do to get an effective muscle building workout. This DVD offers many options for tailoring the workout to your needs or the amount of time you have. It includes modified versions of some of the exercises for beginners and a choice of active rests (cardio or abs). Kelly is very motivating, but not annoying. My husband started to do the workouts with me and is very impressed with the results (first fitness DVD's he has every wanted to do with me). So, if you are a male, this DVD is appropriate for you, too. You will see results!

Ok video by a great trainer

by shallwedance from on 2010-05-17
I bought this video after watching Kelly Coffey-Meyer's Step-Boxing workout DVD which is absolutely fantastic. I love her style, no-nonsense, no hullabaloo, solid exercises performed well and coached well. Her style seems pretty spartan-no thrills no frills- and I love that about her. This particular video is also simple and clearly performed. The editing leaves a lot to be desired, in my opinion. There are several options (or mixes) to customize your workout, two main workout choices (legs, chest, and back; or biceps, triceps, shoulders) coupled with different "active rest periods" (low-impact cardio or abdominal work). Again, the exercises are simple and to the point. The editing of the mixes, though, doesn't give enough time to go from lying on the floor doing ab work to standing up and holding 15 lb dumbbells for the next set, so I'm always rushing those transitions. Also, the leg workout is not very challenging at all, though I guess you could always increase the weight and be challenged that way, still, I liked that part of the workout the least out of this DVD, and it was the part I was looking forward to the most. Overall, though, Coffey-Meyer's great, talks you through each exercise directly, succinctly, and just exudes motivation. I'd love to own another step-boxing DVD of hers, and I'll still check out her other stuff.

Great DVD

by M. Curtis from sacramento,ca on 2010-04-10
I like this DVD because it is short and sweet. I have 15 hour days so I can not fit in more than 30 minutes of working out a day and this video allows me to get a good workout in without spending hours.

To make this video a real sweat, when I have a day off, I do a 30 minute run before this video and then I can REALLY feel my workout at the end and am sweating like crazy.

While the video is great if one only has a short amount of time in their day, if you have more time to devote to fitness I would recommend doing an extra mini cardio session (10-30 minutes) before the video to get a real sweat in.

Great BANG for your BUCK

by B. Caskey from Santa Cruz, CA on 2010-03-25
I've rented/bought quite a few strength training dvd's and so far this is my favorite. My challenge with finding a great strength video is most run 50-60 minutes long and I just don't have that time. I've been looking for something that not only challenges me physically, but that I can get more "bang for my buck" and get done in 30 minutes or less. This is it! The moves are challenging, Kelly is straight to the point (and not the least annoying), and I always walk away feeling like I got a GREAT workout. What I like most about this dvd are the variety of workouts you can choose from (even a full body 30 minute one!). Its a great way to change it up! Although, I must say, my personal favorite is the original workout with the "core" active rest (I feel this one the most the next day!).

I highly recommend this for anyone who wants a quick, intense workout!

Good but Not For Me

by GeauxTX from on 2010-09-02
I thought this DVD was well put together. There are a lot of different workouts on it and you can select and combine them as you want. It is good if you are wanting to switch your workout like your supposed to do after 6 weeks to keep losing weight. I did drop lbs with this as other kettle bells workouts. The routines are kinda silent except for breathing. I did buy this based on other customer reviews. The only thing is the workouts are jerky. They are hard on your joints. I really prefer a smooth flowing action from move to move. There are a few softer moves but mostly all the moves are more like a mans heavy weight lift drill. I did like it when I first got it because of all the variety but after a couple of weeks I wasn't really enjoying it. There are very few exercises I really like. Kettle bell is one of those but the presentation has to be right. I really liked the DVD that came with my Bally kettle bell. So I searched for one similar to that and found Kettlenetics. It's smooth and flowing dance types moves that are motivating and kinda fun. And it is a workout! It has got me toned and makes it easy to workout and loose weight. I know a lot of women will really like the Goddess Workout but it's just not for me.

Basic but creepy

by LeatherSoul from Milwaukee, WI USA on 2010-08-30
This was my first exposure to a kettlebell workout. While it does a good job of teaching kettlebell basics, it gave me the creeps. The instructor's informative but awkward. And speaking of awkward, one of the other women in the video is incredibly focused which comes off as odd and creepy. Home workout videos are something that are watched over and over again. I can only do this video every now and then because these women are all peculiar.

I would give this 4.5 stars...

by madameclaws from on 2010-07-02
This is an awesome get started DVD. I do wish they had more of a section on how to pick out your first kettlebell and also how to prevent slippage while using the kettlebell.
I did like the fact that there was no cheesy music to accompany the workout so I can just throw my own music on that I want.
I kinda' wish that the choose your own workout option had a way to program a workout instead of having to flip through the menus to pick and choose which workouts to do.
Other wise, an awesome workout that will give you great results.

great workout

by A. Cochran from on 2010-06-16
I was recently in a kettlebell exercise class, and this video gives me the work-out very comparable to the class. The video is well done, showing you how to do each exercise correctly. I have seen results after only a short time. I am very well pleased!

Kettlebell Goddess Workout

by Mrs. Shirley S. Jolly from Central FL USA on 2010-06-02
I was doing fine until I somehow did it wrong & strained my right bicep. The pain lasted a long time & finally went into my shoulder, which pops out & in with some pain. I haven't been inclined to do thos workout again, yet. Maybe someday when I feel 100%.

Sadie Nardini power hour dvd

by A. J. Dodd from united kingdom on 2010-08-31
as you would expect from sadie nardini an excellent DVD full of information and fun to do !!

Good yoga, poor production quality

by Linda from Jalalabad on 2010-05-16
The DVD production did not meet my expectations. It was shot in a very bare and stark room; the quality was poor; and the selection of routines on the main menu was limited to two. I did not have the three 20-minute sections mentioned on the back of the DVD cover, nor did I have the access to the new triple screen format mentioned.

At the same time, I enjoyed the yoga routine on this DVD - it was varied, energetic and included a large amount of abdominal work.

Sadie Rocks!

by Ashley D. Baker from on 2009-11-17
I first found Sadie through YouTube and being a yoga teacher myself I didn't feel it was fair to only take the free teachings! So I wanted to support her efforts and bought both dvd's. This is a great workout! A ton of breathing and core strengthening. It's great because you can do as much as you can for that day and come back another day and try it again. She has an excellent and personable attitude and I can't wait to take a class from her in person some day! If you are looking to learn new ways to get in shape and amp up your practice this is an excellent choice. She also gives you beginner alternatives which really helps the newbies and gives you a goal to motivate you!

Good but felt a little ripped off.

by Kristina Ruble from on 2009-10-20
I decided to buy this DVD because my girlfriend attends her Manhattan studio and raved about her. I thought what she did show was difficult, but could easily be modified for beginners. However, after looking at the format and reviews of her other DVD (total body transformation for weight loss) I feel ripped off. This DVD is only 1 hour of material. I know it is called power hour - but not two many different poses were fit into that hour. If you want a taste of Sadie I don't recommend purchasing this DVD..not much there.

Wouldn't buy them again

by Autodidact from on 2010-06-25
When I opened these pants they stank so badly that I tossed them into the washing machine without first checking fit -- too bad, as now I can't return them. The fit is poor. I am 5'4", and these size medium are high water pants on me, so I can't imagine them on anyone taller. The inserts flare out in an odd way. While they are listed as soft, they are kind of stiff and shiny -- perhaps they will become soft with repeated washings. I had just wanted them to hang out in the house and sleep in, but they fit so poorly that I probably can't even use them for that.

Great for resistance training

by J Hust from USA on 2010-07-30
I use this timer several times a week and I really like it. If you do any sort of resistance training where you rest X amount of time between sets, but you rest Y amount of time between EXERCISES, then this will work very well for you. Just map one of your times to T1 and another to T2. I think there are even 3 more times you can map under MY TIME, but I don't use them. This product has gotten some bad marks for its difficulty in configuring, but there's really nothing to it. It might take you a minute or so to figure out, but it's about as hard as learning all the features of a digital watch. But then again, I do not use this product for its interval feature, which keeps looping through T1 and T2 a certain number of times, although I can't imagine that'd be too hard either.

Once you set it up, though, everything is just one button press. For example, T1, START and the time you stored in T1 starts counting down. Once it runs out you get a beep and a flashing light. You can adjust the volume of the beep with the dial on top. At any time you can STOP which will pause the timer, or click T1 or T2, etc to reset the timer to the stored value.

Another plus of this item is that the digits are quite large. There's also a little mount point for a screw in the back, if you want it on a wall in your home gym.

Good Product | Bad Instructions

by H. Brown from Atlanta, GA on 2010-03-16
I like this timer. It works every time, and it's got a loud (and adjustable) beep that's easy to hear, which makes it perfect for timing my heavy bag workouts. I even like the industrial, retro look-and-feel of the timer. But the user instructions are some of the worst I've ever seen. I followed the quick-reference instructions imprinted on the top of the timer as well as the longer paper instructions. They are simply wrong. I tried them multiple times, carefully following each step. They did not work. So I played around with the timer until I figured out the right sequence of buttons to push. I then wrote my own simple and short instructions -- just three steps to set up a simple workout. So it turns out the timer really is simple to use -- but you'd never know it from the instructions.

is a great product

by Juan A. Barroso from Denver, CO on 2009-08-17
i like that you are able to create your own time for your workout and set your own rest time.

Worked for one day

by C. Lopez from Carson, CA on 2009-06-30
I bought this timer to break up my heavy bag workouts into rounds. The day I received it, the timer seemed to work fine. There is a small on/off switch on the top and large easy to use buttons on the face. It was not as loud as I had hoped, but probably good enough. The next day the timer was dead. I replaced the batteries and nothing. I think I left the power switch on, but not longer than a day. Patience and troubleshooting lasted about an hour before banging it on the table and giving up. Double checked it a week later with new batteries....nothing.

Must have

by Albz1 from CA on 2010-06-21
If you are serious about your workouts then you need to own this book. I own other books on lifting weights and body building, but this one is different. It puts the emphasis on becoming stronger and if you do the workouts exactly as written, you will do that. I have just completely my first 4 weeks on this 16 week program and I feel much more balanced and stronger already! This is a total body work out, not just staying in the gym for an hour or more at a time working out single body parts, which to me can get a little boring. Eric Cressey knows his stuff. Buy this book!!

Variety is nice.

by DAVE S... from SHELBY TWP., MI United States on 2010-06-05
I was looking for different exercise ideas. This book has a lot of interesting exercise variations.
Well written. This is actualy the second time I bought this book. I purchased it about 18 months ago and was using some of
the exercises. Recently was looking for the book again and couldn't find it, so I ended up buying it a 2nd time. So you could say I would buy it again!

Fantastic

by Robert C. Wells III from on 2010-04-22
If all you did was follow the foam-rolling and mobility work from this book, you would see great results in flexibility, pain-reduction, and injury prevention. I can't recommend this book enough for anyone who ventures into a weightroom with any amount of frequency.

Excellent strength training book

by Chris S from Philadelphia,Pa on 2010-04-06
I just finished Eric's 16 week program recently. Saw my deadlift improve from 275 to 385 and an increase in bench press from 205 to 225.

Excellent detail in book from warm up exercises to well written descritpions of all the exercises you'll do over the 16 week program. Could not reccommend this book more to someone who is sick of doing the same exercises without seeing results.

5 stars!!

Great stuff

by Ted from USA on 2010-03-23

Senior Review

by Anne from Westfir, Oregon on 2010-05-07
I am a senior with two artificial knees and a bad hip. Although this would be a good book for someone it is not what I am able to do. I do think it is more reasonable than some exercise programs for me which are totally unrealistic. I am not an exercise enthusist to begin with so my comments may not be that important.

Excellent transaction!

by S. Rubeck from Minneapolis, MN USA on 2010-04-22
The book was delivered quickly and was everything the seller described it as. I am very pleased with this entire transaction and if I need another book and they are the ones selling it, I will be more than confident from buying from them again. Have no fear, dear potential customer. You are in good hands.

Not bad but not helpful

by Janis M. Mace from omaha, ne on 2010-01-06
I bought this book thinking it would help me start a weight training program but was disappointed to see that it didn't have very many exercises in it.

The DVD was good and I liked how it was put together but as one reviewer put it, if you have done any type of weight lifting before, this won't teach you anything new.

If you are new weight training then this is a good book but if you have done any kind of weight training then skip this book. You can get a lot more out of any of the women's health magazines or even the men's then you can out of this book.

Description

Save time on your workouts and look better than ever!Unlike traditional dumbbells, the kettlebell's center of mass is extended beyond the hand. Because more muscle groups are utilized in the swinging and movement of a kettlebell than during the lifting of dumbbells, a kettlebell workout is more effective, and yields better results in less time. The momentum generated by the kettlebell also reduces stress on the joints and minimizes the chance for injury. While the general public is starting to catch on to the power of the kettlebell, many kettlebell books on the market merely feature exercises for dumbbells, substituting the dumbbells with a kettlebell. This approach fails to maximize the efficacy and fun of the kettlebell as a workout tool. For the first time ever, Body Sculpting with Kettlebells for Women provides a female audience with kettlebell-specific workouts.Body Sculpting with Kettlebells for Women will teach you:•The differences between dumbbells and kettlebells•How the kettlebell's shape enables endless variety of movement patterns•Sport-specific exercises to enhance performance•Uniquely designed exercise programs to benefit all fitness levels•Where to buy kettlebells and which kettlebells are best for your fitness level•Basic nutritional guidelines for a more effective workoutWith easy to follow instructions, clear photographs, and extensive information on the kettlebell, Body Sculpting with Kettlebells for Women provides a comprehensive guide to this unique fitness tool, making these powerful workouts accessible to people of all fitness levels.Created by U.S.A.'s first International Master of Kettlebell Sport, Lorna Kleidman, this guide is sure to bring one of the most effective workouts to date.

INCORRECT ILLUSTRATIONS

by RayGUN from FL on 2010-07-30
After I ordered this book I got an email that some of the pictures for the exercises were incorrect. Unfortunately between the time I got the book ( few weeks later) I lost the email. I cant find out where the correct pictures are which makes this book worthless. I am going to call amazon and see if I can return it for a credit.

Motivating

by dusty from Ohio on 2010-06-08
I'm a longtime exerciser and was in need to change my routine. I have used kettlebells evey so often, but after reading this book, I'm inspired to step it up and use them every other day, so that on the in-between days I can still do cardio and/or regular weight lifting. In my opinion, if you want to strengthen your cardiovascular system you must do high impact and if you want real muscle definition you must use targeted lifting. I also believe in interval and circuit style training. When I look at the pictures of the author and another demonstrator in this book I see very little to no muscle definition and conclude therefore that using kbells only may be the reason. But I really enjoyed reading about the unique effect of kbells on your body and I can agree with that a 20 to 30 minute kbell routine is comparable to an hour of something else as it definitely takes everything out of you. I prefer to work out with DVDs rather than a book, but I thought this one was very informative and motivating.

This book does not sit unused.

by Kenny from US on 2010-05-16
To me, this is the next step up from having some basic Kettlebell (KB) instructions or DVDs to become better informed on the matter. I tried out her program, yes, I am a guy but I wanted to know more, I saw a copy of the book, I found it accessible and have spent a fair amount of time read and rereading. The author has great enthusiasm and readable style. I was skeptical as to whether the exercises would be that cardiovascular but yes they are, the squats, racks, etc. but make sure you do follow the prescribed number from the programs (Platinum, etc.) in the back of the book.

I think she might have been able to set up a special section and some pictures on the way to palm-punch the handle of the kettlebell and how people sometimes can knock the kettlebell on their forearm. She does indeed discuss this in full in the exercises, say for example in describing the "Lateral Lunge, Open Arm with Press" on page 55 but there are many people who unfortunately, do not read the information despite it being stated. She says correctly "Don't grip the handle. Instead, let it roll down to the base of your fingers, then roll back into the rack as you come out of the lunge back into a standing position." To this end, she also recommends wrist guards. I believe she says wrist sweat bands will do. I always have them on.

If one really reads this book, they stand to benefit. She also makes important points in the appendix about what weights might be proper for a person beginning, etc. I think the book is wise to have many pictures where very light weights, they look like 10 pounders to me, but probably are 15 being used. Weights can always be increased at some point in time. A nice addition to anyone's kettlebell library but especially for newbies.

Pleasantly surprised!

by Brlbeleza from Chicago, IL on 2010-05-07
I have been working out with kbells since Jan 2009. I began with a great dvd by Lauren Brooks. She is also a certified Russian Kettlebell specialist. After using her Ultimate Body Sculpting dvds (1 & 2), I felt like I was a fairly experienced kettlebell enthusiaste. (By the way, I was an avid fan of dumbbell workouts but I have quit my dumbbells since picking up a kettlebell. Kbells are a much better method.) Anyway, I was looking for a book to compare training notes/methods against Ms. Brooks'. I was skeptical that Ms. Kleidman's book could supply workouts equal to the ones on my dvds. I have to say I am very pleasantly surprised and impressed. The workouts are intense if you are using a heavy enough bell and they are clear, concise and easy/fun circuits to follow. They provide a great workout and are a great supplement to my dvds. I was also surprised to find there are four programs and they aren't repetitious!
My only gripe is that I learned to workout barefoot and the book recommends using shoes. I am used to working out barefoot now and so I am not sure I agree with the author's advice on that point. In all, however, I highly recommend this book.

Like having your own personal trainer

by Robert J. Bright from on 2010-03-24
Buying this book: Lorna Kleidman's Body Sculpting with Kettle Bells: was simply the best thing I have ever done. My friend Jo introduced me to kettlebells and she took me through a work out session and I loved it straight away. I started on using kettle bells 3 times a week but with no real direction but did feel small changes in my shape.
I have always had to worry about my weight and staying a UK size 12 took effort. During my pregnancy I ate anything and everything in sight as I saw it as a right of passage (silly girl). For months after my sons birth I did nothing and just hoped the weight would fall off....magically. For months I have been feeling down and feeling totally useless as I just could not shift the weight.

Jo calls me one day and tells me about Lorna Kleidman's Body Sculpting with Kettle Bells book and that I just have to get it......well as I said before: that was one of the best things I have ever done.

I have just completed the silver program and I can't actually believe that this is my body. My core has never been this strong and my thighs.....wow they are like rocks. So many people have noticed the difference in me and I feel fantastic. I am so excited about the change in my shape and the weight is now coming off. My arms have never looked this good. I just can't believe more people don't know about this book (something which I intend to change).
I feel in control of my life again and feel like I have more energy. I have never looked forward to a workout but now I get so excited. The book is so well structured and helps you understand technique which is critical for results. It is serious like having a personal trainer!!!!

Get this book and try it........it's fantastic!!!!

Non-Adaptable & Cheap

by D. Sullivan from Southampton, MA on 2010-08-27
Bought some of these bands last year. I found them very limiting in what exercises you can do with them and the amount of resistance you can apply. Definately not trying to turn anyone of from resistance bands. Resistance bands are excellent products for all types of exercise. I actually use them for body building, but they can be used for toning, strength training, aerobics and pilates, not to mention rehibilitation. Many gyms are incooperating them into their training regimens. But they're not using these, that's for sure. I have since bought a far superior product with excellent workout resources to go along with it. But don't just take my word for it. I suggest you check out a site called [...]. They have several daily LIVE exercise programs using bands made by Bodylastics. Just check it out and pick a program to watch. You can sign up for free and read what the members have to say. The adaptability of Bodylastics is second to none. Check it out before you buy anything.

A good additional tool, but it's no dumbbell

by J. Shih from Los Angeles, CA United States on 2010-08-20
These bands are great additional tools for home gyms or even commercial gyms. I loop them over the pull up bar to use them as cable machine type of workout. But it doesn't have the constant resistance like the dumbbells or weights have. Use biceps curl as an example, when you pick up a 40lbs dumbbell from the rack. It gives you that 40 lbs resistance at the moment it lift off the rack, and continues to do so in any position of the exercise. VS these resistance bands have virtually no resistance at the starting position of biceps curl exercise. Its resistance increases as you raise the forearm and decreases as you lower the forearm back to the starting position. You don't get the constant resistance as the weights give you. So if you're serious about body building, then weights/dumbbells are a must and probably are more effective than these bands.

Lastly, yes they are not heavy. I use 30-35 lbs dumbbell (in each hand) for biceps curl, it takes two purple bands to get close to that resistance; but not a constant resistance. So I'm going back to dumbbells for most of weight lifting workouts.

Works. But It Will Tear Up Your Hands

by Dan Ryno from Florissant, MO United States on 2010-08-11
I bought the heavy resistance bands, and they can give you a good workout. However, the picture shows that the tube attaches to the handle portion directly in the middle. This is not the case. With mine, the tube attaches off-center, causing an awkward grip. This causes your hands to rub on the fabric portion of the handle, at times rubbing them raw. I have several blisters and "burn marks" from this. Even wearing workout gloves doesn't totally solve this problem. Be wary of this.

Bands are dangerous

by Larry Rocco from on 2010-08-05
I had them for one year.
The strap broke when doing a curl, my fist hit my lip, leaving a at lip.
Funny, but dangerous, it could have been my throat.

less than expected

by Geoff from on 2010-08-23
They sell it as "1 of Set of 5 NEW Premium Latex Resistance Bands Tubes Cords w/ free Door Anchor and Exercise Manual." The premium is extreamly debatable, no door anchor came, and the Manual is barely a page.

Works for me

by Mahja from sf, ca on 2010-08-14
I call these "Have gym will travel." I brought the one I currently use w/me on a weekend get away to ensure I keep up. I am using one band for upper arm strength but can see down the road adding another band for more resistance. I agree the handles are bulky so holding two at the same time will be a challenge.

Super fast shipping. New wrapped. Great stuff.

My wife keeps poking fun that I'm buying these exercise stuff off of Amazon... but you REALLY cannot beat the price. I'm done with Ebay and the auction sniping... plus the unreliable Ebay sellers. I have no confidence issues when I buy through Amazon. Thanks.

Does the job

by sherling55 from on 2010-08-07
The product arrived quickly and work well. The "weight" of them during a workout is a bit light

good deal, but not for serious training

by dwappel from on 2010-08-04
The delivery was prompt and everything was packaged nicely. Unfortunately, the bands are not very strong. There are five, but the difference in resistance between each one is negligible. They would be good for someone who is just starting out, or who only trains once a week. If you're a serious trainer and you're looking for something to use while you travel, I'd recommend paying a little bit more for a more heavy duty set.

Works great for my iPhone!

by L. Porter from Hammond, LA United States on 2010-08-27
I use this when I do my 1.5 acre yard. With good in-ear earbuds the sound is great, and I don't have to worry about a cord being ripped out of my iPhone and damaging it. I can also put the iPhone in a sealed ziploc bag so it's completely safe from rain, perspiration, or accidents with the water hose. Accessory Genie great to do business with too. Previous good service has made me a repeat customer.

Clip-On Wireless Bluetooth Headset Receiver

by Ryan Elisei from on 2010-08-06
The trick when pairing this device is to turn it on, then continue to hold down the power button (a clear piece of plastic) until it begins flashing both red and blue.

Aside from that, there's not much to it. The quality is OK and you can add your own headphones if you have any you would like to use.

Works as a home stereo bluetooth adapter

by Deeter Penright from Dayton, OH on 2010-07-31
For those who have problems with the skip forwad and skip back buttons: That is an Ipod/Iphone issue. Apple disabled the forward and back skip functions on their devices. Send apple a comment asking them to enable forward and back buttons for bluetooth devices please because I want to be able to use that functionality too.

As far as devices other than Ipod/Iphone I haven't tried forward/back so...

I needed a receiver to connect bluetooth audio to my home stereo. There are several products specifically made for home stereo use, and all of them cost too much for me ($40-$150). This product is just what I was looking for. It works while the battery is charging so I can leave it plugged in and connected to my stereo. I currently use it only to play music fom my Ipod until I get a bluetoth adapter for my laptop. It works great so far no problems.

Great litlle item

by M. Bolmeier from Bozeman, MT on 2010-07-16
This product exceeded my expectations. I have a Moto Droid which I listen to music on frequently but the headphone jack has become loose so I wanted to replace with a bluetooth device. I wanted to find something generic that would work with any headphones because I have not found many bluetooth headphones I like. I have several wired varieties I like and just wanted to make them bluetooth. Device works great for that. This alone would have made me happy but I hoped for (and got) play/pause/forward/backward/vol up/vol down controls as well as a decent built-in mic so I can receive calls with it. Clip spring is a little weak so you have to make sure you clip it to something secure. Overall functionality is great and I would recommend it to anyone. The construction is light plastic so I figure it will probably break soon, but for $25 I'll just buy another one.

Still like it.

by J. Tu from NC, USA on 2010-06-26
The rewind/skip feature does not work but I still love being able to use any earbuds. And it has a loop so that I can attach a lanyard or such to it - cheap feature but hugely important to not losing my small gadgets! If only the rewind/skip button worked... If only the blue 'on' light didn't flash so brightly... Still like it, though.

These headphones are pretty lame

by David L. Hirschberg from Menlo Park, CA USA on 2010-08-09
I buy a lot of stuff from amazon and this has to be the worst product I have ever received. The concept is great. The implementation misses the mark. Every time I turn the headphones on I have pair them with my iphone4. Inside a car I can listen to podcast but the sound quality is poor for music. Unless I yell and speak slowly people on the other end of a phone call can not understand me. The headset is basically unusable as a phone headset. The headset does not work well outside. I wanted to be able to put my phone in a waterproof pouch on my waist and run but the connection is lost from that 1 meter distance. There is no real manual and no web site or technical support. Amazon should raise their standards and ban schlock like this

iPhone pairable bluetooth headphones - GOOD!

by jbbman from on 2010-08-06
Great value. Works/pairs with iphone. Volume Control works on the fly.
Still need to find a headset that allows you to move tracks - forward
and backward! Sound quality is good. Wears comfortably. Use for
running and outdoor with the iphone in an armband.

Not what I expected

by Michael E. Connally from Aurora, Colorado United States on 2010-07-12
Though I am not an audiophile, sound quality is a top priority. I use these headsets for riding the train, taking cruises and working around the house. I have been using bluetooth headsets since they created them for the 3rd generation Ipod (logitech). I wanted a set to use strictly with my new Ipod touch, so I ordered these. I love the design and the fit; earbuds and I do not get along. However, I was really disappointed with the sound. No dynamic range, no bass at all even after I adjusted my EQ settings on my Ipod. The music sounded like an AM radio station from back in the day. I don't expect the same quality from bluetooth as I do from wired headphones, but even the logitech headphones I purchased years ago had better quality sound. Frankly in my opinion the earbuds that came with the Ipod has better sound. Hopefully they can improve the sound on these things, the design is great. Regretfully I am here again looking for another set. By the way I giving this set to my wife, she's tone deaf she won't care (just kidding).

Description

This lightweight and comfortable armband was designed for the iPhone 3G and 3GS but also works really well for iPhone 4, Blackberrys and many other smartphones some of which are listed below. It really is the ultimate sports armband providing unmatched comfort, convenience and protection while you run, workout or listen on the go.

The low profile, neoprene armband is stable and secure so it will not bounce around. It maximizes comfort with a design that helps keep the back of the case laying flat against your arm so it is not lumpy. Your arm actually pushes the device into the case which is way more comfortable then the case pushing the device into your arm.

To provide as much protection as possible during your workout rigors, the top entrance is covered while openings in the bottom provide vital access points. Other features for your convenience include: a versatile design that holds your device right side up, or upside down to read the screen easier when viewed on the arm; a clear, protective window cover with full navigational control; and a flap to securely store and manage the earphone cord.

The armband is washable, includes a reflective logo and adjusts from 9" to 17". For larger arm sizes, an Armband Extender is available. See model EX3 which increases the maximum arm size by about 6.5 inches.

Some other devices that fit: Blackberry Bold, Curve, Storm & Tour; HTC Hero & Magic; iPhone 4, 2G and 1G: Palm Pre; T-Mobile Dash & myTouch 3G.

Does NOT fit HTC EVO 4G, HTC Desire or Droid X. Please see model AB83 for a larger fitting armband.

Maximum device size: Circumference (2X width plus 2X depth) must be less than 6.5 inches. Maximum device height: 4.5 inches.

Color: Black

For US customers, we offer expedited shipping via USPS Priority Mail (2-4 days after shipping) or chose standard shipping via USPS First Class mail.

Features

• Designed for iPhone 3G and 3GS; Also fits iPhone 4, Blackberrys and many other smartphones
• Fits devices right side up or upside down to read screen easier when viewed on arm
• Full navigational control through clear, protective window cover
• Securely stores and manages earphone cord; Washable; Reflective logo
• Stable, comfortable armband adjusts 9 to 17 inches and an Armband Extender is available for larger arm sizes (see EX3)

Quality of the product is great, while fitting comfortably on the arm; however, when temperatures were warm with humidity in the air, had caused the plastic face on the band to be ineffective with my phone. The screen was full of moisture to the point I could not use the buttons, and nor was my phone working properly until I had reset the battery.

Plus it was lightly sprinkling out, but nothing that I haven't ran in before with my phone in a different holder that was more exposed to rain.

Nice product all in all!

Perfect for the original MyTouch 3G

by Tron from on 2010-08-30
I searched forever for a case to use for exercising with my MyTouch 3G. This one works great even with a case around the phone I can fit it into this armband. It's almost like it was made for my phone.

Excellent except for one issue

by F. Shue from San Francisco, USA on 2010-08-25
This is a great accessory for your iPod earphones if you run. It really keeps the earphones in place when you're running. Even if you're sweating, you don't have to worry about the earphones falling off. The only issue (other than it can only be used with Apple's earphones) is actually putting the earbuds on. It's a bit of a hassle to wrap the earbuds around your ear before you start running, but it becomes much more difficult while you're running. Let's say you accidentally yank your earphone cord and the earpiece comes off your ear. Because of your sweat, it's super hard to put the earbuds back in place while you're running. You'll most likely stop and try to put the earbuds in place (which isn't that easy either).

Good idea - poor fit

by Roadrunner 54 from on 2010-07-31
You would think that it would fit. Unfortunately I did not find this to be the case.

The BudFits may stay on my ears but they do not keep the Apple earbuds inside my ears with any motion.

After trying several other solutions I found and recommend the Philips earhook headset SHH8006.

Not Worth It - the Earbudi is Better

by Shady from on 2010-07-31
I bought these because I heard that they keep your earbuds in place - true for about 10 minutes. Maybe I have weird ears, but the Innovelis Budfits felt bulky on my head and just made my earphones bigger and they actually fell off easier. I threw them out. I didn't want to spend any more money, but two friends swore by the "Earbudi" so I borrowed theirs and then bought my own pair. What I like about the Earbudi is it fits my ear without the awkward bulkiness I had with the Innovelis brand. And they stay in! They're comfortable too, which I didn't expect, so you don't notice them. They also don't get caught in my earrings like the Innovelis brand did. Earbudi is also easier to put over your earbuds because you just slide it on - you don't have to put it on upside down like with Innovelis. The Earbudi is so much better! Great for cleaning and gardening too, because your earphones don't fall out when you lean or bend over. Actually the reason I threw the Innovelis brand out was because I was cleaning my bathroom with them in and the left one fell out into the toilet, which of course yanked the right one out with it before I could catch them. Some people don't have a problem with their iPod or iPhone earbuds falling out, but if you're active with them and they do fall out, definitely try the Earbudi before you try the Innovelis ones. The cost is the same!

Bud be great

I purchased these earbud adaptors and they are great. No more of the slipping out of the ear hassle. great product recommended.

Totaly In Love

by Sarah from on 2010-07-13
I searched and search for something like these, and finally found them. Apple ear-buds do not stay in my ears, and trying to make them stay is very painful, but since the controls are built into the ear-buds (dumb), they're a necessary evil.

This awesome and inexpensive product allows me to keep using my ear-buds without fighting them or hurting myself. I'm completely in love with the BudFits.

My only tiny complaints are that the ear-bud cord does tend to detach rather easily, and the ear-buds themselves come out with a little rough housing (or after throwing them in my messy purse, trying to extract them often made the BudFits detach from the EarBuds). I used rubber-bands for a while, and that worked well. It didn't seem to interfere with the comfort or fit. I got new ear-buds recently, so I super-glued them to the BudFits - so far, this is an excellent permanent solution.

Even with that drawback, I believe this is a totally amazing product, well worth the very low price.

Excellent product!

by RGreb from on 2010-08-25
This armband case is great! Especially for the price! My iPhone fits easily inside, but my regular case has to be removed before it will fit. Definitely a great product and worth the money.

functional but with flaws

by CLW from on 2010-07-12
this product is cute and functional, but has some flaws. it is well padded as described and has an average sized armband. it is actually a little big for my arm, but I am very petite. my iPod fits in the holder with it's case still on, which is convenient. however, the plastic screen protector is pretty thick, making it hard to use your iPod at times. tapping is easy, but sliding to unlock or adjust volume is nearly impossible. also, the top of the holder is open, where it is possible, though highly unlikely, for your iPod to fall out. I haven't had this problem yet though. and lastly, a rather serious flaw that I discovered is that there is no hole for your earbuds to plug into your iPod. a stupid mistake in design. however, an easy fix. I simply extended the already existing hole using scissors. overall, for the price, a good buy.

Can't believe the price

by from on 2010-06-09
I'm just blown away by some of the prices on Amazon and this is one of those items. Again, I wasn't sure of the quality, but I've used it a few times now and it does the job. Real cute, does what it's suppose to.
