Are the Premix DVDs worth it?

premixes are awesome! i have super sets and push pull. i can choose to do just upper body,or lower body, and 3 sets or 2 sets of each.
timesavor has 5 different work outs with workout blender,not premixes.
terminator has neither. just three different workouts to pick
they are all great workouts. they all have mix and match. hardcore will have both, i think.

Hi Lisa,
If you are talking about the compilation DVDs, here's my experience.
Terminator- I used the Imax Extreme title some. The others were circiut workouts and I just don't do this type of workout as much as straight strength or pure cardio. I've read a lot of posts about people liking this DVD. Hopefully, you will hear from them.
Timesaver- I use when I am short on time or have a hectic schedule. This DVD is like CTX but easier. The workouts are not original as in CTX. They are compilations from BB series. The Cardio is not as high impact. The weight work has some original footage. I have used this more than the Terminator. I read where some people didn't use it because they had the BB series. I did use both. I also used it when I had a BB workout that I needed to sub, due to time or DOMS. There is no upper body split chapter on this DVD.
Hardcore Extreme-I didn't think I would use this too much. But, now that I have it, I think these have a place in my schedule. It is chaptered nicely and can be shortened. There is a circuit workout and two interval cardio workouts.
Hope this helps,
jordan

Yes, yes, and yes! If I only had the money to buy a few Cathe DVDs, I would invest in the Premixes and Cross Train Express.
I don't always have 1.5 hours for a workout and even when I do, the boredom factor sets in after one hour...and I begin to think about all I have to do.

cute work out clothes are good for AT LEAST an additional 10-15 calories burned!

>find this at all?
