Bubbles - I'm enjoying the set so far - they are not the most intense workouts on the planet, although I suppose you could get creative and up the intensity with bigger ranges of motion, maybe holding some light hand weights, etc.

She put Workout # 1 - Utah and Workout # 2 - Ohio on her You Tube channel, so you can check them out to see if you would like them. They are more or less all like this (I have only done the first disc so far) but w/ different scenery, etc.

They definitely fill a need in my fitness collection - low impact no dread cardio.

For reference, I really like Misty Tripoli's workouts and feel I can get a decent sweat from these if I put my all into it.

It *is* different from the others I have (mostly Jessica) and it gives a decent workout, but I don't reach for it - it is repetitive (across workouts and also within each workout) and gives my joints some trouble if I don't modify. That's not bc it is "too hard" but bc of the repetition i.e too many "forward & backs" that aggravate my old hip flexor injury.

Yes - I did want to add to what laurajhawk said - I couldn't do these daily - b/c of the repetition - they are good for me to do once or twice per week.

That's a good price. I ordered the set when it first came out, & it was more expensive than that.

Mary still has it for $64.95 and with 10off, it's $58.46. if you have points, it could lower it from there. it excludes the map and magnets, however.

ooo yah baby - $49.99! and that's before 10off.

i just bought a bunch of items from elsewhere, and this tempts me. i hear people saying it's repetitive. those who have it, do you still love it?

i am the queen of modifying, so i can deal with the repetition. is the music really good, like "Misty Tripoli music" good? or "Shaun T music" good? i can tell the scenery is really good.

I love this set. Jenny just picks me up and I have fun.

I don't know how long it will last, but I noticed today that Amazon has the set for sale for $37. I don't think the map is included.
