My workout is done. Coffey Fit Raw Athletic Training #1, 28 minutes, heart rate 135 average, 165 max, 169 calories, 1,936 steps. I then did Lite Strong Body Stacked Sets Lower Body , 41 minutes, 212 calories, met 6.0, 1,065 steps, heart rate average 109, max 145. I wanted a bit more cardio so did Lite Cardio Party Calorie crush on the step, 16 minutes, met 9.0, 116 calories, heart rate average 157, max 188, 1,520 steps. Finished with Lite extended stretch #1 , 13 minutes, 35 calories, met 3.0, 20 steps. Total time was 98 minutes, 532 calories, 4,541 steps. I am not sure about my feelings on Stacked Sets Lower Body. I decided to push myself to do it again since I have only done it once. It went better this time, but still I think it is going to be more of a workout that I dread. I wonder if I will like the Upper Stacked. I have not purchased it yet. I almost think that I would like the body weight and bands first. I want it mostly for the Calorie Crush though. The other is a bonus. I do like that Upper Stacked contains the lower pyramid, even though I have that one, it would be nice to do a total body without removing the dvd.

Belinda, I think that we learn after so many injuries that our bodies are probably not meant to do some of the things these workouts have in them. I always figure these athletes that get injuries will probably pay big time as they age.
Doreen, I enjoyed Les Mills when I had the 30 day trial. Those newer cycling ones are pretty cool. I liked the step workouts and the combat workouts. A lot of them are spliced together workouts. I had done some that I would think I did it before and it was just because I had done part of it before. I tried some of the Grit workouts. After 30 days though, I was not feeling buying a package. You can look at all of the tracks before you do a workout. They get kind of repetitive. I never had a problem with streaming Les Mills with my Roku.
Pippin, I have read that about jumping off the bench or box too. I think it is really hard on the joints. I am more careful myself after having a torn miniscus and with all of the arthritis I have developed. I still jump, but do not always jump off and on with both feet. Landing right is crucial for the joints. Doing many reps of that is looking for an injury imo. I have injured my shoulder doing plyo push ups too. Be careful with what you do. I am of the opinion that a little goes a long way. There are many moves that are advanced that won't injure you. If you feel something is wrong try something else.
