Which Body Revo. exercise challenges you most?

I'm doing New Rules of Lifting for Women, starting it on Monday. I was going to do round 2 of Body Revolution with heavier weights, but when I put in workout one and she said it being the beginning of 90 days, I got this "aww crap" feeling a decided I should switch to something else for a while. I might throw in a day of her Kick Box Fast Fix or Banish Fat Boost Metabolism once a week while doing New Rules of Lifting for Women.

Less than Kris are you talking about kilos or lbs for the weights? My boyfriend has a weights system where you just take the pins in and out and the weights are on a block but and I think they go from 10lb right up to 50lbs in increments of 0.5. I can use those but I'd have to go to the gym to use them and it's not always free to use (ie. he's training with another friend) when I have the time to do my workout. I also don't have a PC down there so would need to find a way to watch the DVDs.

As an alternative, I've got some weight like you've said which I can get up to (possibly) 30lbs but it would mean changing weights each time which would be a bit of a pain. If not I'm stuck with using weights between 4lbs and a maximum of 20lbs so maybe not heavy enough.

JeriAnne I know what you mean about doing another 90 days! I am not just over halfway through the first round and by the time I finish it will be the end of March and then 90 days after will be the end of June. It starts getting really hot here from mid-May so I'm thinking about doing a 60 day program instead, or using the gym for a few months and doing something like you're doing and then after the summer when it's cooler doing another DVDs based program. We will see!

I am talking about lbs. It is a pain to change them though and I think it does make me dread the workouts a little more. There is one person using lighter weights and I think they highest they go is 20lbs. One advantage to the program though is that you really do not need the DVD for your lifting days. You could definitely watch it for form but there is also a book that goes over each move you could take with you to the gym along with a worksheet. There are nine moves each workout. During the first and third month you are aiming to fatigue around 10-12 reps. The second month you use heavier weights and aim for fatigue at 6-8 reps.

Ok, I think I'll have a look at the workouts if I can on Utube and see how easy it would be or not to do if I have to change plates or switch weights each time. I actually don't need a DVD at all to do weight training as I have printouts of programmes I've done before and books but I just like the format of DVD based programmes as it feels like I'm doing it along with someone else if that makes sense. I find it a bit more motivating than doing it on my own in the gym.
