What are your substitutes for....

I agree with burritamcdoo (I also just wanted to say her name ), about the item keeping you honest in the exercise, I think the pill bottles will have to be my sub.

I've enjoyed this thread because it's so entertaining. But I think I might have to adopt the army guy idea (my personal favorite) if I want to use lifting gloves. I tried them today with TBT Full Body and was having trouble with the dixie cups, as my gloves have a tab on the middle finger (for pulling the gloves off). I ended up ditching the gloves.

Every time I do a LIS workout now, I wonder if the Dixie company has had a surge of recent sales. Should help the quarterly reports. I picture a bunch of executives in a board room trying to figure out what's going on.

Lol Elsie! I imagine many, many Cathletes have bought them! I used my Platemates the first couple times because I kept forgetting to bring my Dixie Cups down to my workout room. (the ones I STOLE from the Cathe RT! Shhhhhh!) The Platemates were actually lower so they made me go deeper! :O

Hi, I used small spice bottles. But small weights sound like a great idea as the workouts become easier. In an old Cindy Crawford workout I have, they used playing cards.

The toys

Harry Potter Lego guys. Ron and Voldemort I think.

I was rinsing some containers out for recycling, and ended up with two really nice caps from and açaí beverage: not quite as tall as the cup (which adds to the challenge, especially since I'm taller than Cathe and the crew) but a pretty purple color, and matching!

Lol! I think the lil' green army men and the Harry Potter Lego guys are my favs!

I have been using two pairs of balled up socks instead of the Dixie Cups.

Cally, I think you've picked the quietest method! Well, that and cotton balls!

One of my really old Billy Blanks TaeBo workouts also uses playing cards for the same thing!

Just finished after burn (premix), I was thinking 16 ounce tumbler.
