    I just put up a video where I show the Dynamax Ball, Rage Ball and the Ugi Ball. Hopefully this will be helpful for those who are looking to purchase a medicine ball.

    THere is a chick named Chelsea who does "real time" bodyrock workouts on video and puts them on youtube. She uses a 20 lb dumbbell for some of the Ugi stuff.

    She posts tutorials now that show alternatives to using equipment, also easier moves for beginners. Totally worth it. I don't have any of the equipment. And if you need an interval timer, there is a free one for iphones that Gymboss makes. It works well.

    If anyone is interested on a cheaper version for a dip station there are tons of DIY videos on youtube :)

    I bought the dip station with the handle straps...The dip station could be made for virtually nothing, but the handles are fantastic..I use them on my pullup bar..In the doorway...anywhere i can hook them onto..Brilliant..

    I made a medicine ball out of a old basketball and sand. There is a video on youtube on how to do it.

    Hopefully this does not start a battle, but the original leader of the bodyrock workouts does ZWOWs now.

    Short, high intensity workouts -- she sometimes uses dumbbells and the like but very minimal equipment.

    Try a medicine ball. The dimensions are a little smaller but they are way cheaper...here is just one option... http://www.amazon.com/Everlast-Muhammad-Collection-9-Pound-Medicine/dp/B002V36WJC/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1312722212&sr=8-12

    med balls work for SOME things- they are a LOT more unstable- I use them for Mountain climbers and push ups and things

    A bosu ball is the closest replication really- and even it isn't teh same thing.

    For most ugi ball work outs- I supplement with a med ball- the outside thigh touch one? I just use the ground- I don't' bother with any equipment.

    just fudge it- use the couch- or a med ball. no worries- no work out police will come yell at you!!!

    My absolute favorite 'gut check' workout of theirs is the It Will Rain Sweat one- it's older- Kaley is the girl- she does it with Sean. It's brutal
    Ten rounds of 10 exercises- for 10 reps each- 1000 reps. it takes me almost an hour every time. But I love it.
