Has anyone tried Scott Helventston?

I noticed that CK Sales has 3 Scott Helvenston vids on for $5 Canadian each: Strength, Stamina, and ISO Workouts. The price is great, but I don't need more clutter on my shelves, so I wonder if anyone can tell me if these are any good and how tough they are. I'm kind of getting into the boot camp style, but I'm a low-to-middling intermediate and his background as a Navy SEAL scares the heck out of me! Any opinions out there? Thanks! M.

I've had Strength and Stamina and they aren't impossible but you better love to do tons of push-ups. Strength is basically push-ups, push-ups, and more push-ups in various positions with some lunges, squats, and abs at the end. I liked Stamina better. It's format is alternating kickboxing, jumping jacks, lunges, squats, and push-ups with abs at the end (if I remember right). The real problem with them is Scott's cueing. He counts out One-Two-THA-REE the whole time and it gets pretty annoying. It's a military thing.

I'd say Stamina is worth $5 if you like the bootcamp style, but skip the other two.

One -two-thureee!

I have most of Scott's tapes but don't do them. And I can't trade them! My DH likes them a lot as they are easy to follow and very basic choreo-wise. And they are tough. Scott does show different levels. DH was a Marine so I guess the counting doesn't bother him.

The workouts have hundreds of push-ups and millions of sit-ups. That's my personal idea of hell!!!!

Unhappy I had one of his tapes...

I got rid of it asap, for the same reasons everyone else gave.
