another newbies' request for help w/my 'collection' :}

[buttons11]

hi ya'll!
I've been a long time lurker and have loved all the info here

I used to work out at home some time ago, but in recent time I belonged to a gym & found that the drive time and same ole classes far from inspiring...cancelled my membership and back to working out at home...

anyhooo...now need some enabling or err...disabling if you think that is needed ...Not big on set rotations, as I love variety & like to choose what suits my needs as I go...thus building the 'collection'...

so, due to the current sale/coupons, I've got a cartfull of workouts
I have just started w/cathe's workouts...have the Timesaver DVD & love it, -esp the kickboxing portion...I've spent quite a bit-o-time reviewing the videos & previous posts to make my selection...I'm concerned with any duplication of the type and/or style of workout mainly...is this a good variety for a well rounded collection? I want a some step/kb/circuit for cardio and both stength & endurance training

please give any opinions on my list...

thanks so much ya'll in advance for any input you may have ...buttons

4-day split
kick,punch & crunch
drill max
boot camp & muscle endurance
cardio core circuit
power hour, maximum intensity strength & bodymax
circuit max, cardio kicks
kick max
HIIT

your cart looks great to me...I have all those you listed except for Cardio Kicks& Circuit max.

if you wanted a few others, I like Circuit Blast -it's not super long but it's a lot of fun & I really like the MMA Boxing & MMA Kickboxing, too. if Intensity is on sale you should get that one, too.

I use HiIT all the time you will love it, and Drill Max, too. and CCC is pretty tough but goes by fast.

have fun!

Hi Buttons! I know the sale ends today and you might have already purchased your DVDs, but just wanted to tell you that I think your cart looks great! 4DS is one of my all time favorite series. I just love it and rave about it all the time. The step sections are easier than some of Cathe's other step workouts but soooo much fun! I like to do the step cardio premix (the LIS and HIS segments back to back) and I always work up a good sweat! The 4DS kickbox rocks and bootcamp isn't bad either (it winds me everytime). Plus all the premixes...I think I just fell in love all over again! KPC is another of my all time favs. Candidly i'm not a huge fan of Kick Max. It's still a good workout, just not one of my favs like KPC and 4DS Kickbox. I've heard great things about MMA Boxing and Kickboxing but haven't tried them myself.

Drill Max is tough stuff but lots of fun! Cathe does some unique, non-traditional stregnth moves (IMO of course) which is great for variety. CCC is also very challenging for me but fun! Plus I find it easy to modify if needed. I reach for the boot camp/muscle endurance DVD at least once every 10 days or so. Overall, great stuff!

Happy Sweating!
Katie

hey ricklyk1...
yeah I took the plunge last night before bed...didn't want to wait till the last minute...
so I also added STS 36 DVD's, and then got alil nutty and added bodymax2 and butts&guts...I just couldn't pass up the bargain...that's 56 workouts....oh .not counting the endless premixes...wheeee...

the sts only added 59 bucks to mah original cart total w/all the discounts and the other two were just afew bucks more....got mah full wish list....ahhhh I'm so excited...shoot just the 4DS alone looks fab, I really like the KB on my Timesaver dvd ...KB is just plain fun for me...not a workout, kinda like dancing is ... it's mah new cardio love

I was sick w/the flu the last 3 days...feeling so much better today & it's great to have sucha fun box to look forward to...Ima all motivated to get started...it's like gettin new toys

Congrats on all your new DVDs! You are gonna have a goooood time! you got some great stuff. I do agree w/Katie, and probably would have voted against Kick Max, if there was one you HAD to let go of. It's decent, but the leg drills that take up like the last 30 min or so are BORING, lol. I just try to do the premixes that don't include them (I LOVE kickboxing, when I want leg drills, I'll do a leg video, lol), but honestly it's just not one that I look forward to . I just ordered the MMA boxing, and MMA kickbox, so I'm hoping they are as good as I've heard. But 4DS, and KPC are AWESOME, you will LOVE them! And of course....STS!!!! woohooo!!
