So far I've only done the first conditioning workout, but I liked it. Now Frank on the other hand, I think he talks a little too much.

Oh, just great.
I inquired about the status of my order last week, received the box on Monday, and today they finally read my email and decide without asking to send a second shipment? What's the point of using tracking numbers if retailers won't use them? Good grief. Here's hoping my request to cancel the second shipment gets to them. |

I'm glad some people are posting that they like these. It seemed the minute I ordered, people starting posting what a waste of money they were! I'm glad not everyone thought so.

I tried these workouts and found they are not for me. However, the program seems really well thought out and designed. The reasons I thought they weren't for me was that the workouts are longer than I have time for usually (for some reason, I thought they were shorter) and workouts in the later phases are splits and I like full-body workouts.
So, I have this set on my trade list, if anyone has an interest.

My Met-Rx set arrived while we were out of town. I haven't opened it yet and will do so later today (for my birthday).
I have mixed feelings about instructors yakking too much. I don't mind Leslie chatting endlessly, but I wanted to strangle Sagi (Body Beast) and I wasn't even doing the workouts, DH was and I had to listen from the other room. If I don't like the set, DH might. I hated S90 and he liked it. |

I purchased these when they were first available on sale in late September, and have tried the first three conditioning workouts. Overall I really like them.
Here's what I like about the workouts: 1) No compound exercises - I can use an appropriate weight for each body part. 2) Well organized, and the exercises are listed in the workout log (so I can see what's coming). 3) Frank demonstrates each exercise before he starts, so you can choose your weight accordingly. 4) I like the circuit format, moving between bodyparts. What I don't like: 1) Too long between exercises. Since these are circuits, I don't feel like I need any time between exercises. I usually fast-forward through the rests. The things I like greatly outweigh the one thing I don't like. It's a drag to have to fast-forward, but I would rather do that than have to pause the workout to catch up (like in Supreme 90). Frank does talk a lot, but it doesn't really bother me. I am indifferent to the amount of "chatter" in a workout (I don't mind Tracy Anderson OR Tony Horton). I haven't tried the split workouts because I really prefer total-body workouts (or an upper/lower split), but for me the $20 price was worth getting three workouts I really like. The rest is just a bonus.

Another poster didn't like the smaller ball. But, I actually really like it. I am doing Dream Body and the smaller ball works much better for me. I don't like the bigger one for many of the exercises so I was doing the exercises without the ball. Now, I can use the smaller one so it will work great for me there.
I still haven't done any of these workouts yet, but I used the original coupon code and paid $21.95. It seems like a good deal considering everything that came with the set. If I like the workouts, that will be a bonus! |
