Rio Extreme is 50 minutes but Abs Rapido and Upper Cuts are short, 11 and 13 minutes, respectively. But I still thought it was a pretty good price. A lot of new 50 min to 1 hour workouts on Mary's regular site are 19.95, so in terms of actual workout time, you're getting a workout and about a half for $30. Seems pretty good to me.

LoveVA, I hope you don't mind me asking but how different is Rio Extreme from BBL Sculpt? They're both around 50 minutes, right? Does it have more impact, are the moves faster, or are heavier weights used, or _____ (fill in the blank).
Thanks so much - I really appreciate your input.

LoveVA, that's awesome about your results! And you're enjoying the workouts, too?
Thanks, also, for providing some background on yourself. I think it's always helpful to understand someone's starting place when talking about results! |

As far as pacing, the moves are the same pace as in Sculpt and so you can use the same weights. The main difference is that he switches up the timing a bit more: For example, if you're doing squats, instead of going up and down at the same rate, he'll alter it by doing down 3, up 1 or up 3, down 1. I don't know how to explain that properly. Nuggie's Auntie-I am really enjoying the workouts. I was worried that, with so few of them (compared to P90X, for example), that I would get bored. So far, so good. I think it helps that I'm switching up my cardio with some of my other DVDs. |

Actually, you've explained it perfectly - thank you for describing the differences and yes, it definitely sounds more advanced!

I really like Uppercuts and find it useful. If I've been doing a lot of barre, for example, I sometimes feel like I haven't got enough upper body work in my week. Uppercuts is a nice little workout to correct that imbalance. I'll also sometimes pair it with the 10-minute Bum Bum Rapido (from the original BBL set) and sometimes Abs Rapido, to make a 20-30 minute full-body workout.

I was curious about Rio Extreme too, and I found this video of a woman actually doing the workout. She edited it nicely to give an idea of what the workout is like.
I actually use three different sets of weights for Sculpt to try to push each exercise as hard as I can! With the deluxe set, I was thinking something similar about the shorter workouts--like I could add the arms one onto a High and Tight day. It would allow more versatility with changing up the rotation. Thanks for mentioning this set!
