    I just joined this website and posted my remarks somewhere but they did not show up on this page so I'll try again. I turn 54 this December and although I have been in pretty good shape I decided there was a lot of room for improvement. I began doing the butt bible about 8 weeks ago. I started with the level 2 workouts. I know alternate doing upper body on day and lower body the next day. I also sometimes do both level 2 and level 3 upper in the same day. With the lower I can't do both in the same day due to bad knees but sometimes I use parts of level 2.Sometimes I also alternate using 5 lb and 10 lb weights including a 10 lb barbell for the lower level 3. I also walk 4 miles every other day. I think it is important to vary the workouts as much as you can so your muscles don't get used to doing the same thing.

    To Matiara, If you don't have a barbell you can use hand weights and either hold them up on your shoulders or just down resting on your thighs if your doing plie squats for example.

    So ladies, it this Grandma can do these workouts you can too. Just keep motivated, keep working at it but don't hurt yourselves .

    Just started Butt Bible today. Any idea or estimate of how many calories burned? Anyone doing it and using 10lb hand weights?

    I need to know the calorie burn on the BB I started yesterday and I freaking love it?

    How long is each level? Minute wise...

    Level 1 workouts are a little over 20 minutes and it goes up 10 minutes per level.

    That's awesome. You're hardcore.

    I started Level 3 yesterday and it did something that Levels 1 and 2 didn't. My legs are sore today.

    I've lost half an inch off of each thigh and a quarter inch off my hips in the past four weeks. My inner and outer thighs have definition again.

    Anyone have any suggestions on how to enter it in the calorie counter? I just entered 20mins of general aerobics, but i know that isn't really correct. Especially since Pauline made fun of aerobics class.. haha.. Can anyone help with how to enter it? I did LB1 yesterday and can't wait to do UB2 today.

    You can go to nutritiondata.self.com/tool/calories-burned and enter in your personal data and they have a pull-down listing of many activities. I put the butt bible under circuit training and my value based on height/weight was 344 calories for 40 min. They also give you your BMI and Recommended Minimum Daily Nutritional needs. There are also other sites that calculate calories burned.

    Forgot to mention....I have Brighthouse Cable-Exercise TV and Chris Freytag has a new 10lb Slimdown Xtreme series that includes abs, body, core, kickbox, lower (40 min), upper, (40 min) and yoga. I have done the lower and upper body workouts. She touches on some of the same exercises as the butt bible but hits some different muscles because my butt and legs were a little more sore today than they have been with butt bible. It was nice to have a change.

    I have been doing the lower body/ level three three times a week with my normal routine for two months and I have seen some serious results. I wear a 30 lbs weighted vest while doing the standing portion and use 12 lbs free weight when on the ground.

    Just started the butt bible today! Can feel I am going to be sore already... it was great. Still wondering how many calories each level burns. Has anyone figured it out yet?

    All the levels are back on Time Warner. I am also going to buy just so I have them in case they get taken off again.

    I'm on my third week of doing the Butt Bible. I've definitely been seeing some improvement. I don't have dumbbells; instead I use 2 cans of puree. Sounds silly, but I try to save money where ever I can and it works just as much.

    @Maria, you are suppose to do each Level (Upper and Lower ) for 2 weeks each. Is anyone currently doing this? I just started a week ago.
