and I think I will like it!!! I made a great rotation I started today using Fitness Fanatics website(THANKS LIZ!!!) and will work my legs 3 times per week, and my UB twice with cardio mixed in. I am using my Intensity Series, PS Series, and my LL and CTX UB, and my Terminators!!! I am so excited, it varys my workouts so much!!!! Anyway, I am going to use the weight tape first for LB, and then do the 5 exercises that they show you on the tapes, 3 sets for 15 reps. I used both of my bands today. My buns can feel it already, especially my saddlebags. I did Pyaramid LB today, then used my rocker. The only question I have is my Rocker catches sometimes on the way back, is that normal??

I have been thinking about the BTR or Rockit for a long time. Yesterday I did the Core video from FitPrime and my left knee is so sore I can barely walk...The pathetic part is that I didnt use weights for the leg exercises, and the step I used for the leg press is about 6 in. I guess it is time to buy something that I can use to work my legs instead of the lunges or squats. Please let me know how you are doing with the BTR or Rockit!!!

Thanks to you all.

Lori,

Isn't it great! I got my mind a week ago and have used it with the pyramid video and power hour. I really think I'm going tolike it as well. I was a tad concerned since my right knee acts up a lot but it's been great.
My rocker doesn't catch on the way down, it goes down smoothly just to let you know.

Hi Lori S,
I just got my BTR this weekend and I think I'm going to like it too! I used it tonight with my PS legs and abs. Which rotations are you using from the Fitness Fanatics site? I can feel it working too. I'm glad I got it.
Happy Rockin'

Hi Lori,

I was wondering if you could post your rotation or tell me which one it is at Fitness Fanatics. I just recently got the B&TR and have tried it with LL, which I really liked. I want to put some extra focus on my legs and would love to add the B&TR to a rotation.

Thanks,
Jessica
 
I will try to post it over there. I just put my tapes in and made myself a rotation based on 3 leg workouts, and 2 UB workouts. I am blonde, so I am having a very hard time understanding how you guys use the BTR with Cathe tapes. When the dead lifts come on, do you use a barbell??? Do you just use the rocker mainly for squats and calfs?? Please explain to me please. Thanks.
Lori
 
I posted the rotation under Lori's Great Legs Rotation on Fitnessvideofanatics. website. It is in the public rotations. Hope you like it.

Lori,

When I do lunges on the B&TR I turn my feet at a slanted angle (facing the same direction) and then turn them the other direction when she changes legs. On the deadlifts I sometimes get off and just do them normal, other times I stay on and place my heels on the platform with my toes up in the air to focus on the hamstrings. When she does the step-ups I just place one leg on the platform with my other off to the side (but not down on the floor)and do a leg press. On the sit and stands and such I just follow along on the B&TR and act like it is my stool/bench. I hope this makes some since, it is often hard to explain unless you can see it. I am not sure what the other's do but this is how I have been using it so far.

Thanks for posting your rotation!!

I think severalpeople use more than 2 bands at a time. I know Honeybunch posted that she was using 140lbs at one time(I think she's up to 150lbs). I don't see how you could use that much and only have 2 bands on each side.
 
I agree, that is why I was very confused when the guy told me that. I will oprder more when I am ready for Them Right now I will have 2-25's and a 10 on each side. That should work for a bit!!!! I just used the ones I got with it, and my legs are sore, so I will be ok for awhile. Thanks!!

Hey everyone!

Here is something I shared on another BTR thread. Just thought you'd like to know in case you missed it:

I just discovered today that I have weight plates (the ones that fit on barbells) that have 2" holes! They fit onto the bar of the BTR perfect! These might be a consideration if you already have them or you might be able to find/buy them cheaper then ordering extra bands. Just a thought.

Woo-Hooo Lori!

That's GREAT! It sure beats having to buy more bands if you have something that will make do! Yeeeah! Besides, we need to save our $'s for the new Cathe gear and the mini-step, right? I think I am going to have to build a new home with a bigger workout area and bigger walk-in closet to accomodate all these new purchases! Tee-Hee!

RE: Woo-Hooo Lori!

It's also great to use for incline flyes and presses. Because of that, I like to work legs and chest on the same day.
