Talk Me In Or Out of Drop Two Sizes
 

I'm teetering. The sale price is good. I'm really enjoying shorter workout. There hasn't been any breakdowns that I've seen of the workouts. I hear she gives a lot of form pointers and I like that since my leg work probably could be more effective. I have a tendency to follow band wagons, though....

What has the system done for you so far? Pluses? Minuses? You can dis-enable me too, if you like.:eek:

For $30, just get it. You can't really lose.

There will be no dis-enabling here. :D

I wish there was a longer clip. I don't really get a sense of what the program is about.

I could be way off, because between the clip and the thread on this set, I still don't have a good sense of what they're about. I like the idea of slower, more controlled weight workouts, plus mixing weights with kettlebells and throwing in the foam roller...is this kind of a version of DeltaFit directed more towards a female audience?

Irrelevant post, but when I saw the thread title I was thoroughly confused and thought the poster may not be a native English speaker :D

I think it's the best money I've spent this year honestly. I generally do not like rotations and commitments like this but I think the workouts are great and very well thought out. What i also love is that while many weight workouts leave my joints sore and require a lot of post-workout stretching, I don't find that to be the case with these workouts. She builds in a lot of stretching throughout the workout and I think the foam roller helps a lot too. The only negative I can see potentially is that I will have to continually go up in weights to remain challenged (maybe not - it's still early yet for me) so there could be a cost/space commitment there. So far i use 10's, 15s, and 20s and supplement with 18 lb and 22 lb kettlebells. Hope this helps.

I couldn't pass up the price so I am in :D

I am tempted to bite on this one too. For people who have it, how similar are the book workouts to the DVD's? I kind of like paper workouts for strength training, I've discovered, but my ideal paper workout is one that is supplemented by a video or video clips so I can see the movements and pacing demonstrated at least once.

When I read the title, I thought the OP wanted advice on whether or not she should try to drop two dress sizes. :p

I'm going to be the naysayer here. I dropped two sizes by doing 1 workout per day of 30 minutes and 10 minute bursts every one or two hours. By 'bursts' I mean 10 burpees, 30 jumping jacks or high knees, 30 squats or plies, that sort of thing.

If I had $30 burning a hole in my pocket now I'd put it towards the purchase of a 25 lb. kettlebell. I've done 75 swings with my 10 lb dumb bell 2 times in the last week and my butt is higher than it ever was. By that I mean when I lift it up I only have centimeters to go, not feet or yards like before. ;)
