    Did first Turbo Fire today

    I find the lyrics in some of the series are a bit much, but that's because I'm previewing. I've done Fire 30, HiiT 15 and Core 20, and the music is very motivating when I'm not paying attention to the lyrics, lol. I find this series to be a lot of fun though :)

    It's actually still snowing here in NJ. At least I got a day off from work :)

    BBL or Insanity?

    I think that really depends on what you are looking for. I only have Insanity, but from what I've read about BBL, that series seems to focus mostly on lower body. Insanity targets the total body. I am interested in BBL too, but am trying to resist the urge. I don't think I would click with...

    Insanity is insane!

    If I can encourage you in any way, I would say that you don't have to do everything as they are doing on the video. I am 46 and I only have one week to go with this rotation. I had good days and not soo good days, lol. I had days where I thought, why am I pushing myself like this. It is a...

    How do you store your dumbbells and barbells?

    One with wheels would be great. I've never seen one with wheels. I know I can't move mine around, unless I take all the dumbbells off, and even so, it's still pretty heavy.

    How do you store your dumbbells and barbells?

    I have the Apex 3 Tier dumbbell rack and the Golds Gym one mentioned in this thread (Walmart special) Both are great. For my plates I have a plate tree and my barbells I just keep on the floor against the wall.

    Other Heavy Bag workouts?

    I have the first set of Pit workouts. Honestly, they aren't to my liking. It's more of a freestyle type workout, if you like that kind of thing. I much prefer following a video. There is another set of Pit workouts that might be better, but I don't have them. Maybe someone else will offer...

    Which DVD/video has flat bands with weights?

    I think I may have seen this in Muscle Max and Body Max.

    Other Heavy Bag workouts?

    A few heavy bag workouts that I know of and like: Amy Bento's Rumble - has a bag segment in it. Real Kickboxing - This is a series of 4 dvd's with Danny SUllivan. I bought mine through Amazon about 2 years ago. Tae-bo has a workout called "Impact". It's a pretty good workout, but...

    TRacey Staehle new kickbox dvd

    I think the choreography is pretty basic and easy to catch on. You may have to rewind and watch a bit before you can get the full affect of the workout, but I think the workout itself is easy to learn, and easy to modify as well. I wasn't crazy about Strike Zone, but this one I really liked...

    TRacey Staehle new kickbox dvd

    Mary, I have it and just tried it yesterday. I really like, (almost love) it. I burned tons of calories, and it was fun to do. It's lead by Tracey, Joseph & Jericho, and they have great chemistry together. There are some really fun combos in this workout, and the workout was over before...

    Band with Order?

    Rose or anyone, can you point out a website (or PM it to me), that carries a band that will work well with Travel Fit. I need to get one ASAP. I can't wait for SNM to get them in stock, plus I don't want to pay the high shipping fee. Thanks :)

    Tell Me About INSANITY

    Stacy, I am currently doing an Insanity rotation, and here's what I can say. I do have a knee that gives me a problem from time to time, and has been acting up a bit, but not bad enough to make me stop Insanity. I do modify quite a bit, but am still getting pretty good results. The key is...

    How do you know if you picked UPS or USPS?

    If you didn't receive a shipping email, I think it's safe to assume you chose USPS. I thought I had chosen USPS, until I received a Tracking # email.
