I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS?

[HOTCHICK]

Hello my educated friends.

I have two questions,

QUESTION 1

is I am considering buying one or two out of these fitprimes,

Crunch time
G force
From the ground up

which two should I go with? and could you tell me if any are similar to Fast cheetah or Strong bear, or different from them, as I have both already.


QUESTION 2

I Have pairs of crome dumbells 1,2,3,5 kilos and I want a 4 kilo pair,
so that the set will be from 1-5 kilos.

The thing is, the 5 kilo pair are now getting light for me and I am planning on purchasing another set of 5 dumbells, maybe from 6-10 kilos, or just 6,8,10,12, kilos and so on.

what do you use?
would you go up by the kilo? or jump up a few kilos at a time for purchases?.
Obviously I dont want to be tripping over excess dumbells, but I like working with them instead of the barbell for Cathe sometimes.
Hope I have made sense.

I go by pouds myself, and it seems to me here in the States the dumbells I've seen at the typical sports stores go 1,3,5,8,10,12,15,20,25 lbs., etc. I don't know how that translates into kilos.

To make up for the big skips in poundage, I use platemates - expensive, but very handy, because they come in 1, 1.75 (I think), and 2.5 pound increments.

Hope that helps!

You lost me with the kilos! For Cathe, and for my Firms, I use 3,5,7,8,10,12 and 15lb dumbbells. I even have 20lb dumbbells, but rarely use them.

Hope this helps!

hi hotchick!

correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe there are 2.2 pounds per 1 kilo, SO if i were you i would just jump up in one kilo increments. when i increase my poundage i usually jump up in 2-3 pound increments. for example 3 - 5 - 8 - 10 - 12 - 15 pound dumbells are what i use, so there is a 2 pound increase from 3 to 5 but a 3 pound increase from 5 to 8. so by jumping up 1 kilo you would be increasing in 2.2 pound increments which should be perfect.
i hope this has made some kind of sense for you and you understand what i'm talking about :7

anyway hope that helps and good luck!!!

Hey Hotchick,

I see you got your answer for the increase in weights--as for the question regarding FitPrime, you might want to ask that question over at www.videofitness.com They tend to be more into those tapes than us here & could probably give you a really detailed answer. Please don't take this as a brush off, I want you to get the best answer to your question.

Hi everyone,

thank you all for your answers, Susan I do understand what you mean about increments,and it is 2.2 pounds per kilo, for some reason the shops/stores seem to be doing the dumbells in kilos now, but I can just about work out the weights, and I have found a place where I can by some hexes.
Deborah, thanks for your comments I dont feel that you are giving me the brush off at all, I take what you say, in the spirit that it is given. I dont use videofitness for posts but I do lurk, but maybe I might try and look for the reviews on these vids if there are any.
Cathe are my main workouts, but my knees cant take impact everyday so I try to cross train, and to be honest I do like variety, as I get restless, for something different.
By the way I did cardio kicks today and forgot how awesome it was.

bye, HOTCHICK:+
