Question for those that have done Les Mills

[WD]

I have been doing the 3 cardios for awhile and love them. I finally broke down and ordered the rest.My bar seems to be working fine. I see very little difference from how they work each body part in these workouts. The only difference I saw between Revolution and Extreme was the triceps track? I have only done the 30 min one and the Revolution one workout. I have previewed the Extreme one and the basic 20 min one. The work sheet pages are all laid out exactly the same bodypart order. I did notice they change instructors for the different body parts from one dvd to the other. It just seems that since they made several workouts there would be more variety.

Do you like them? I am so so close to ordering this - actually it's a toss between Les Mills and Jillian's Body Revolution. Currently I am doing Chalene Extreme so I'm looking for something when I am finished with this rotation.

I like them and am not sorry I bought them. I think they are kind of overpriced but, then we are probably paying for the barbell. I like the music in them and the upbeat fun attitude of the instructors. I have been using the Cardios for several weeks. I just finished 12 weeks of Chalean Extreme. And once I bought Les Mills Cardios I started using them for some of my cardio workouts. So, I cannot really say what results yet I won't follow their rotation. So far I am planning two days of Les Mills and one of Chalean Extremes for awhile. I may change my mind though. I did the 30 min one Sunday and followed their weights. It seemed easy so Monday I did the Revolution 55 min one and raised the weights. I added some weight plates to my bar for the squat track and the lunge track along with the weight they had. The guys in the back are going heavier than the barbell that comes with it.
They remind me of Cathe's Power Hour in the way they are long sets of about 5 min work for each segment, squat track, chest, legs back, triceps, biceps, lunges, shoulders, abs. The 30 minute one only does part of the segments, the 45 min skips less segments and then you have the two 55 min ones that do all of them.
