Has anyone tried this dvd set? Would love to hear your impressions.

i was interested in this, but the narrow hallway of a set turned me off somewhat. i'm open to considering it if the workouts are solid - she gives a lot of content for the price!

I just got it, I have a sinus infection.. so I watched it.. will do when my head feels better. It a very solid muscle burnout workout. Great to use as splits.. you can custom the parts you'd like to work.

Thank you!!! I may break down and see my doctor. I'm on the 8th day of sinus pain. Over the counter stuff is not helping much!

I have the set and did both the upper and lower body workouts last week. The setup for each workout is the same. She does 4 different exercises for each body part. She does 4 sets of varying rep patterns that range from 6-24 reps. Each exercise is done with a heavier weight/resistance and lighter weight/resistance. For example, when Linda does biceps curls, she will start with heavy weights and do 20 reps at “1 up and 1 down,” 12 reps at “2 up and 2 down,” 10 reps at “3 up and 1 down,” and 10 reps at “1 up and 3 down.” (I don’t remember the exact numbers she does.) She then repeats this pattern the lighter weights. Then, she’ll do a similar setup with a second, third, and fourth bicep exercise. As a results, you do a million reps per body part. Linda does use a good amount of weight for some exercises, so this set is grueling. I was extremely sore this week!

There are no really unique moves and there is lot of repetition of the same moves, so the workouts can get a little dull. The workouts are time consuming, as they range from 27 minutes for triceps to 62 minutes for hamstrings. This was longish for me for a single body part.

I did really like the back and chest workouts. I think one could get some nice results from this set. I’m going to try to do the set once a week for a month to see if I notice any changes.

Hope this helps!

Sorry, double post!

thanks Lorrie!

are there any burpees or mountain climbers? I'm not a fan of those.

wlorrie · 12-19-17, 06:29 AM

No mountain climbers, burpees, or any cardio. It's all weights.
