Hi, Meg. Based on the tapes you listed, I'd guess that you're a beginner or low intermediate, which is about where I am too. You probably already know that there aren't nearly as many good upper...

A couple more suggestions

I reread the first post, and I noted that part of Caroline's problem is not having enough time to do long workouts. Can I relate! As a mother of three with a home office and irregular work hours,...

Talking Good topic!

Are you looking for cardio tapes only? I think Fat Burning for Dummies fits the bill, though you may have it. One indulgence of mine is CherFitness A New Attitude, with Keli Roberts doing a 40...

How does Cardio Sculpt compare to Maximum Body Shaping?

I'd say that I'm a low intermediate exerciser. I just did Cardio Sculpt for the first time the other night, and I'm still a bit sore, but I could do all the reps (except for when I had to rewind to...
