You don't need a step for the basic set at all. It is only an option to use it as a weight bench for a few tracks (chest and sometimes the tricep ones) where you are doing the exercises on the floor. You can do those tracks on the floor or use a step or weight bench if you have one or prefer using it. For the deluxe set, there is only workout that uses the step.
I think the motivation talk is less cheesy when you are doing the workout because I don't really remember it that much or didn't pay much attention to it. I usually ended up focusing on the move or the music and just listened to the cues. |

I avoided these threads but decided to check out the clip at bb. Now, I really want these. Maybe after I finish my current rotation. I wish that they offered the DVDs without the equipment. I already have a barbell. This looks like something that I would enjoy.......... Decisions.

DH and I just finished the Body Pump Challenge dvd. Wow. Looks easy when I was watching DH, but then when it was my turn to do it...Legs were shaking and muscles burning. I was thinking of skipping the Challenge dvd and heading straight for the workouts, but now I think I may work with just the Challenge dvd for a week or so before progressing.
When the song "Somebody's Watching Me" came on, DH said, "I love this song!" The music really makes this set great and the varying tempos of the reps means no dread.

My guess is that they made up lots including the barbell and plates along with the dvds. Maybe they thought everybody would need those. Now they know differently. After they sell this set of lots, maybe they will make up new ones with just the dvds alone. They would still make money and shipping would be easier and cheaper.

Bodybalance is genius. It is choreographed to be more flowy than vinyasa yoga so it feels almost like dance. At the same time, the choreography is simple and the moves are never so tricky that you feel graceless. It is a great way to work on flexibility and balance and has a few strength challenges including an abs track usually. I hope they make a DVD with beach body. RPM classes are fantastic for spinning. The music rocks. Usually the entire class including instructor are so drenched by the end, they look like they stepped into a shower clothed. A great non impact, intense Cardio workout and leg workout rolled into one. I do not ever plan to get a spin cycle for home, but I would never join a gym now that I have experienced RPM, unless the gym offers RPM. Although I don't like high rep weight training, I still end up doing occasional Pump workouts if I have a gym membership, because of the fun factor. Les Mills and Chalene changed my standards for workouts. Pumping music, energy and fun are now mandatory for me to consider doing a workout. |
