need advice on videos

[lwseymour]

Which of the tapes (PS series, Bodymax, or MIS) would I be able to modify best without a barbell? Or would it be a mistake to even try to modify? I will not have a barbell until Santa brings it for Christmas. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I think Body Max would be easiest

Hi lwseymour:

You could modify all of the tapes for dumbells. Personally, I think Body Max would be the easiest to modify, mainly because she does fewer sets and doesn't go as heavy as she does in her other tapes. I used my dumbells during Body Max for a while without any having to make any big time adjustments.

I think MIS was the tape that persuaded me that I *had* to have a barbell. I could have modified it too, I just no longer wanted to!

There are lots of benefits to using dumbbells instead of barbells. They allow you to use a much more natural range of motion during chest presses, upright rows and many other exercises. I often prefer using dumbbells. But when it comes to working legs, I *love* my barbell. I feel so tough when I heave it onto my shoulders. Me and Arnold -- we'll be back.

I don't have a barbell either

and BodyMax would be the easiest. However, there was ony 1 or 2 exercises in MIS that I felt couldn't be modified. I had to breakout the Bodybar for that and unfortunately[sp], it's too light for me now, but it got the job done!!

thanks to Daphne and Aimee

Thank you to Daphne and Aimee on your responses to my question. I plan to do the "buy 3 videos get one free" thru Step n'Motion, and I appreciate your response. Bodymax will definitely be one of my choices now that I know I can modify it.

Barbell

Hi,
I just wanted to add that in PS Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps Cathe uses a barbell for chest presses only, the rest of the tape is done with dumbells. This one would be easy for you to modify.
