I've been using fitness blender for a while now, but I don't know where to go from here. Any suggestions/ favorite workouts? All I have is my body and a few dumbbells.

    I wish myfitnesspal and fitness blender would team up because I love the videos, you can pick and choose so you don't get bored. Under strength in myfitnesspal, it doesn't have videos, it just relates to sets/reps/weight. Sure would be nice. hint....hint...

    Yeah, I wish we can just type in the name of the video. At least fitness blender shows an estimate of the calories burned. I don't know how accurate that is.

    The calories aren't accurate for me. I generally burn half of what they say, but then again everyone burns cals different. I use it for cardio and weights but do go running as well. I like how the strength videos can be really good if you have the weights to do it. We bought an Olympic weight set but I use it for these vids.

    The calorie burns vary for me. I use a heart rate monitor, so I know my actual burn. Most of the time I am in the lower range of what they estimate.

    I got lucky last year when a friend moved and gave me a bunch of dumbbells and a bench. I bought a barbell set at Dick's over a year ago. A few months ago I was donating at Goodwill and noticed someone before me had donated a whole bunch of dumbbells and barbell set. I stalked them until they sold them to me - I got LOTS of weights for $25! I couldn't have bought one of those dumbbells for that price.

    How have you been using Fitness Blender? Do you do random workouts or are you following a program? I used to just do random, whatever sounded good that day, workouts, but then I decided to invest in one of their programs. It really changed the way I workout. I refuse to join a gym, but I was ok paying $6.99 for an eight week program. You can do the program over and over again. I think you can use FB no matter what level you are at or what equipment you have - use what you've got! :)

    I agree! I just created my own Fitness Blender category and put all my workouts under that whether they are strength or cardio.

    I'm pretty sure there are strength options under the cardio category here?
