I am having trouble posting so this may post twice. I was on the collage video site last night and ordered all three of her new DVD's. They looked good. I am waiting for the STS to ship and I just need something new & different.

I ordered all three of these from Amazon.

I've tried Abs and Push-ups plus (twice already. I really like the alternating exercises. Challenging but doable. My "cobra" and "reverse cobra"--as Ilaria calls them--push-ups probably don't look much like what Ilaria is doing, siince my ROM isn't as deep!)

Yes, lots of the exercises are the same or very similar to P90X (which leads me to believe they are effective, LOL!)

I had some nice deep DOMS in my core for 2 days after the first go-round, but that could be partly because I'm deconditioned.

I also did the warm-up and punch section of PS5 (right after A&PU+). I really like it! I previewed the entire workout, and like that Ilaria does different combos on each side, but balances out the number of punches and kicks---I'll take her word for it.

Haven't gotten Bodystrikes yet, because I ordered it after the other two.
 
I have all 3, and really like them. This powerstrike seems a little harder than 4. My heart rate never soars, but I feel I get a nice steady workout. I'll soon add my 1 lbs. hand weights once I learn the routine. I really like the ab and push up, I do about half on my toes and the other on my knees, but nice I can work up to all toes. The body strikes I'm enjoying, I have knee problems and not allowed to use weights so it's great and you could take it on trips and do in your hotel room. As always Ilaria has terrific form.

on day 5 of my p90x rotation i am going to do abs and pushups but also doing pullups after pushups. is that too much? bodystrikes i will get for my bday feb1. is bs cardio and legs,no upper?
 
I ordered PS5 and Abs & Pushups, Bodystrikes was not all that appealing to me. I should be getting them tomorrow.

So if this is so much like P90X, do you need Abs and Pushups if you already have P90X? I'm trying to scale down my purchases and want to know if this is really necessary.

Do you need it? No.

I like it for variety and I don't think it's that much like P90X (the alternating between abs and push-ups is different, and the exercises are in a different order).

Interesting....I've been checking Scamazon daily and they are not available with no date of availability.

I must have just hit it right.

Just a day or two after I ordered PS5, it was no longer in stock at Amazon (either VFer and Catheites are gobbling up copies as fast as Amazon can get them, or Amazon didn't get many in).
 
Strange about Amazon, I ordered from them as well right when the dvd came out and just checked Collage, and they only have an "add to wish list" button.

I tried out PS5 last night. The only slight negative for me, I like the music in PS4 better, but 5 is a great workout, Ilaria did not disappoint. 5 is just like PS4 regarding intensity. By the end I'm totally sweaty, but I'm not really out of breath. It is a great solid workout, especially when you want cardio, but not the "gasping for air" kind of cardio.

And as usual from her dvds, I have a nice soreness in my back abs and upper arms. Although some of the arm soreness could be from doing Muscle Endurance on Monday.

I really appreciate her attention to good form and her combos were actually quite different than usual, it was nice to have some new punching combos.

If you like PS4 and or like kickboxing in general, this is a great dvd to add to your collection.
