A metric marathon, I think I would like that as I have no desire to do a full marathon, and have never done anything more than 15 miles. If you know of any other metric marathons, that will be happening next year let me know. I am in NY, so nothing that would be mid west or further would be ideal.
What a great idea on doing s90 but skipping the leg work. I think there is plenty of legwork in the ball and cardio workouts as it is. I might start with the ball & upper body workouts. There is a metric marathon every year in November in Columbia, MD which is what I'm training for now. Good luck with your race.

Beatchica, I think you've sold me on this set to at least give it a try.

You know what I really like about the sound of this system - it's only 60 days! 90 days just seems too long and I get bored of doing the same thing over and over again..

I wonder if I can get this in Canada

Mine arrived today (but right before I headed to work). So, I brought the DVD's to work with me to preview on lunch.

All DVD's in fine shape. Can't wait to give it a try.

I order through Wal-Mart and they arrived within a week (via Fedex).

My set was not scratched and I hope your next one is in good shape as well.
I ordered mine online from WallMart, $3 shipping woohoo! Maybe Wallmart got a better batch vs. Target.
I am so glad that you like the set! I would feel awful if my post encouraged you to buy it, and then you ended up not liking it!

You make a good point! If this set is scratched, I'll oder from Walmart.

I would be ordering from Walmart right now if not for my inability to follow a specific DVD rotation and my intense dislike for pushups. Great review though. I enjoyed reading it.

Thanks for the review. Hopefully someone can put up a detailed breakdown of the workouts soon.

Adrien, was it $40 at Target also?
I don't live super close to a Target, but if it is cheaper, I will wait and try to get it there. TIA!

patty- I did a search for metric marathons, and it looks like there is the one you are doing in MD and maybe one in TX. I hope they catch on elsewhere, cause it is a super cool concept! Maybe next year, I will have to make a trip to MD in November.

I went to both my local Wal-Mart and Target & neither one had it. I plan to order it online.
