Body Fusion equipment

[eminenz2]

I just received the body fusion DVD in the mail to start a slow comeback to Cathe workouts after an eternal time off while fighting the breast cancer (actually, I still have a few weeks to go).

The back fo the DVD mentions using a tubing strap. I don't have one that looks as long as the one in the picture. Could I use the green elastic band from the Hardcore workouts?

Thanks!

I haven't done BF in a while but I'm thinking that you could certainly sub in the band from the HC work outs!

Thanks for the info!

Hi Susan and congratulations on getting through your cancer treatments! You must be so relieved to have this chapter of your life behind you. You're a true inspiration and a great role model for anyone just starting back in their fitness journey.

As for your question about the Body Fusion work out...I have the DVD with Basic Step and Body fusion but I haven't done BF just yet. I've been following Cathe's Official Beginners Rotation which she pinned on the Rotations forum and it uses this DVD. I start BF next week. I think the elastic band you have will work okay for some things, and you can also use dumbells. I wouldn't worry about getting tubing if you don't have it.

My best wishes to you for a full recovery and good luck getting back into your fitness routine!

Michele,

Thanks for the congratulations. I have only 13 radiation treatments left, out of 33. I should finish yearly in May.

My reconstruction is scheduled for early October, after a summer of good healing.
