Doesn't Extreme use the bands quite a bit, rather than dumbbells? That's putting me off because I'm not a fan.

I've never been a huge band fan either, but these workouts showed me how tough they can be.

I just love this set. The Disc 2 Leg workouts kills me each time. In my book this is one of the best leg/butt workouts ever.

I love MetaShred and I'm currently doing it. I haven't lost weight but so far, 3 inches off my waist and 4 inches of my hips. I sub the third leg workout because it bores me so that day I do heavy heavy hip thrust (heavy for me is over 200 lbs), dead lifts and squats and accessory butt work. I like BJ but he is ridiculous in this set. What I do is pick the "music off" option and blast my own music play list and I'm blissfully unaware of his sophomoric humor. I'll pause the music when he explains the next exercise and then tune him out again. I've loved changing up my routine and really like the exercises he's chosen. He's big on the hip thrust, one leg and both leg versions, and the Bulgarian split squat. After doing Strong Curves for over a year this is a nice change while still sticking to Bret's favored exercises.

Hi! I haven't been coming to VF since I've been doing Strong Curves and it's a book. The author is Bret Contreras. You can follow him on FB and IG and he gives lots of tips and demos exercises. If you still have my email, send me a message. HUGS!

You're a strong woman. Those inches loss are great result from this strength training. It goes to show HEAVY load can trim!! It does not necessarily Bulk. Has anyone claimed we have to embrace Barre to trim off inches? Pfff lol |

I actually love Barre and owe a bunch of it and am a yearly SBF subscriber. There's room at the table for everything we enjoy! LOL
