Thanks - It does sound like a good deal when you consider how many workouts you get. But I'm still trying to decide on whether to get STS, more dumbbells, a weighted vest...I can't get all of the above! :)

Believe it or not, I just heard about Barry's Bootcamp yesterday. It sounded interesting and challenging, so I googled it and found this website: barrysbootcamp.net. The 5-Day Academy DVD set is being sold there for $39.99. Is this the same set that everyone was talking about two or three years...

Just chiming in with my thoughts on Butts & Guts! I haven't done this workout in a while, although I remember I used to do everything but the abs section pretty frequently. But then again, I used to omit most ab work in general, though...not sure why, unless it was just laziness? :(...

Thanks for the input and the encouragement! Still a little frustrated though, because today I did Travel Fit and struggled with the push-ups. I'm really looking forward to my rest day tomorrow so maybe my muscles can recover fully from this crazy week. I will do my Gym Style rotation for...

When planning rotations, never schedule Insanity Max Interval Plyo the day after Hardcore Extreme Interval Circuit!! :eek: :o Today I kept wondering why I felt so tired during the warm-up and didn't seem to have the usual stamina through the intervals (especially on push up moves)...then I...

One of the things that helped me get through the whole two months is to ignore the recovery week, when you only do Core Cardio and Balance every day. I think I did that workout only twice, took an extra rest day and filled the rest of the week with Cathe's workouts I had missed so much. By the...

Here's another reply that's probably not what you're looking for, but I finished the complete Insanity rotation a few weeks ago and had great results (combined with cleaner diet, I lost 10 lbs, flatter abs, etc.). After finishing, I started a rotation that combines Cathe workouts with one...

I just did CCC yesterday for the first time and LOVED it! It's the closest thing to an Insanity-type workout that I've seen in the Shock Cardio series so far, which makes me happy. My heart rate monitor said my average heart rate was 160 and I burned over 700 calories...I know that can't be...

Just wanted to say "me too!" :D I don't have the whole Shock Cardio set (everything except the MMAs and Step Moves), but what I've done so far seems perfect. I've done HiiT 30/30 and Travel Fit, but I previewed Circuit Blast last night and the cool downs on all of these are "just right." My...

I'm sure I'll keep Travel Fit, but I'll consider it more of a "light" strength workout instead of a circuit and will schedule it just for easy days. I definitely need to figure out the right band to use for next time though. I knew Travel Fit wasn't designed to be a cardio workout, but I'm used...

I tried my first "new" Cathe workout today, which happened to be Travel Fit. I had read several posts about the workout so I wasn't expecting much of a cardio workout, but I was still surprised at how...easy this workout was. (I can't believe I just said that!!) Did I feel a burn in my upper...

I only hit 175 bpm in the most intense parts of Insanity workouts...most of the time I'm in the 140-160 range during Insanity and maybe 125-150 throughout most Cathe cardio (sometime spiking up to 170 during more intense intervals). During weight workouts following cardio (4DS style), my heart...

I decided to get myself a heart rate monitor during the day after Christmas sales :) and I found a particular Timex model at Academy Sports that seems to do everything I was looking for. Besides being a heart rate monitor that has a chest strap and user-changeable batteries, I just wanted a...

Mine is only 23,547 because I only "discovered" Workout Manager two months ago in October. I started logging workouts on October 19, the day I started the Insanity rotation. I've lost about 10 pounds since then, so obviously diet has a LOT to do with it (as 10 pounds equals 35,000 calories!).

I am in my last week of the Insanity rotation and have lost about 10 pounds so far (the scales fluctuate a bit every day, you know!). I have only made a couple of minor modifications so far: during Recovery Week, I took one extra day off (no time to work out that day!) and I substituted in...

Sorry in advance for such a long post, but maybe some of this information is helpful to you...although I really hope that what I'm describing is not applicable to you! :( I had a "mystery rash" about six years ago that required three trips to the dermatologist before it was correctly...

Wow. To be safe, I guess I should have pre-ordered a couple of weeks ago and just not mentioned it to anyone as a gift idea! :( Thanks for the info, though!

I am wondering if anyone knows how to find the regular price of all the Shock Cardio DVDs. Since the pre-sale has ended but the DVDs aren't 100% ready to ship yet, I can't find a page that shows ordering information. I remember seeing the regular price on the pre-order page but now the pre-order...

Rose2boys: I had the same problem you mentioned...about the third week of the first month I began to feel a little dread about the workouts because of the high impact/intensity...probably the impact moreso than the intensity, because I want every workout to be intense. I have posted on a...

I've learned my lesson from this experience too! Unfortunately, I have already filed one claim with the seller of my DVDs - it was an "item not received" claim since he told me he didn't have the supply of DVDs he was expecting. The claim was resolved when he finally shipped me the DVDs...
