I have the Turbo Bar too, and have been guesstimating the bar height. Sometimes Cathe tells you "hip height" and that helps a bit...and I think after a few run thrus of the DVDs we can get an idea. I'm going to write numbers with a Sharpie on my Turbo Bar and write the numbers down on the workout cards. How is your Turbo Bar working out for you? Mine has issues with dropping the bar down low (I've only use it up high with STS and other leg conditioning segments of Cathe DVDs). I also had to put a mat under the front legs to keep from pushing the tower across my living room like a sled when using the bar low for push-ups and planks. My DH is going to look into making it a bit more stable for me as it is quite wobbly at times.
I just did this one and I don't own the tower and I still got a great workout. I just used a chair for everything. I also have my own system for pull ups and when the band is around the top of the tower for triceps, I have my own pully type system I use. And with all my stuff out and in it's own place, I never had to adjust anything but just move my chair or walk over to my pull up bar. I think I like the Total Body more, but I think I can blend my own workout with these two and get the best of both. I still haven't done the legs or either abs yet.
), not doing my Cathe workouts (yikes!) and was left as a sleepless, mushy pile of negativity - mentally and physically. FTA Bootcamp to the rescue! Felt great. The novelty of the Fit Tower and the new movements, the constant quick changes in exercises, equipment, level of the bar and body parts worked are all boredom busting motivators. Yet, this workout does not overwhelm. It walks the fine line between being tough enough to be results based without having a dread factor. Even though I have a chin up bar (with assisted bands), the pull-ups with the tower were my favourite part. Cathe does pull-up style moves that really isolate the biceps, then the chest and also the back. I can't get that with my standard door frame chin up bar. I had really hesitated about making the investment in the Fit Tower and wasn't sure I needed it or could find the space for it. After doing this workout I'm so glad I did! Putting FTA Bootcamp in a rotation will really round things out. Cathe's workouts definitely give you the total package! And they're fun, fun, fun!
. ) gave me this conversion for the old Tower to the new....these are from the floor to the bottom of the hole:
