I just ordered the set as a Christmas gift, at this price I can give these as gifts. Almost like when Oprah gave cars, I can give Met-Rx . This price is insane, I purchased it at full price minus the $25 coupon. I still never completed a full rotation but I have always thought the program was well thought out. I usually move quicker than the cast in the weighted workouts since they move to slow and I usually workout in the morning. Luckily for me, I participated in a focus group in May for Met-Rx and I was compensated $75 which softens the blow of this insane deal.

I have to admit, as I was looking at the old posts trying to find more info on the system, I saw mention of the pricing back then. I felt a little uncomfortable reading the posts. There were those who paid over $100 more than it is now and were getting a nice deal (at the time). The original price is around the same as it is/was for other sets like Tapout, RKS, P90x, etc. Imagine getting any of those sets for $15 shipped...ever??

At least it helps me feel better knowing a lot of the original buyers can now get them for this insane price to give as gifts. There's no doubt the recipients of them will have no clue how much was paid for them. The good news is it'll be our little secret here

You will be a heroine.

Took a rest day yesterday after a 13-day run doing barre classes and Slim Series so today was Day #3 when it should have been Day #4. Since I won't give up the barre to do this rotation I thought it would be prudent for me to use the bands, which are offered as an option throughout the entire rotation, instead of weights which could do me in from over use. As I considered the band option more closely for my needs the band tutorial for each of the two circuit workouts moved into my radar. They're definitely a must watch because the camera does not stay on the band modifier all the time and the pace was a little quicker in the Circuit 2 than 1. Even with the band tutorial it took me an hour to get through two rounds of the circuit because I kept pausing my 9" DVD player at the gym to figure out the right resistance color band to use, and definitely needed all of them. Took good notes in the tracker so I don't have to go through this again and now have a good base level to work up from. Also noted in the tracker whether the band should be doubled or single so I don't fumble around as much in the future. All in all it was so worth the effort because the bands put a creative spin on the workout, particularly with the stability ball that was used so much in Circuit 2. The one-legged dead lift on the ball with the band stands out. Mucho fun. Also, the more than 100 ab reps felt really effective because they were spread out among the three rounds. Loving this program.
