i use bands on door with a door stop and use that instead of a pull up bar. its still effective and someday u might want to use bands inplace of dumbells in the future just for variety. i wish i could have a pullup bar but i live in an apartment. its not mandatory but it does have its advantages. u can always do different back exersizes instead like pullovers and deadlifts.

Tony cracks me up. I love the comments he makes about his "peeps". I always end up giggling when I'm supposed to be doing push-ups or something. Like when he says to Adam in Core Synergistics "you make Gumby look like the Tin Man"
Hi Sara! Tracey's step workout is very good, however, she doesn't break it down at all. She just expects you to know the routine. I find it annoying but challenging. The kickboxing workout is awful imo! Music was great but the workout itself is far too slow for me. I like my routine to be fast & fierce & this just doesn't cut it. The ab workout is AWESOME! Definitely her forte. Its pilates inspired b/c Tracey's a pilates instructor. I found it challenging. You can actually break up the workout into 2 segments. The stability ball segment is very challenging. I LOVED this one. The others are up to you if you want to purchase.

Now how did I know you would be interested? lol Phat Camp was by far the BEST fitness camp I had attended. You get a Q&A session w/Jen + you talk to her ONE ON ONE which is what I did! Friday when you arrive Jen goes through the agenda for the weekend. Then its hitting the cardio machines, then a weight session w/her. She splits you up into 3 different groups: 1) cardio, 2) weight session & 3) shopping. The women that compete strictly do supersets all of the time & only supersets. Jen bangs out one exercise after another you just can't believe how fast & accomplished you feel. She sells a handbook that lists all of the exercises that she personally does. There were a lot of new moves in it & I found them challenging.
Jen has a competition session where the women that are amateur competitors step up & Jen teaches them how to pose, how to stand out from all the others so that judges will "notice" just you. I came away from this camp learning so much it was amazing!! Jen's very down to earth & honest too. She couldn't believe my age (53) working out w/20, 30 & 40 year old women. She kept saying I was her inspiration! How cool is that!
You also get a Q&A nuttrition session w/her. I happen to know more about nutrition than Jen does but she does state that she's not a nutritionst.
Saturday was Bootcamp & this wasn't easy!! She did a lot of leg work using the step & if you thought that wasn't enough, she made us go outside & do sprints & burpees!!! Sunday was LEG day! My legs were so sore I could barely go to work on Monday! My legs had DOMS for 3 solid days & I never get that!
Definitely consider going in 2007 its worth EVERY PENNY! I plan on going to the one in NY in 2007 again! HTH, Kathy
