    To Tlucas69, it comes with 1 band, however I went to Amazon and purchased a set from Black Mountain Products so that my wife could use them. I tried them as well and Black Mountain has high reviews and a really great product.

    If you type this into Amazon they should be around 24 bucks with free super saver shipping...takes about 5-8 business days to get to you...but these things are worth it! TYPE THIS: Black Mountain Products Resistance Band Set with Door Anchor, Ankle Strap, Exercise Chart, and Resistance Band Carrying Case.

    Good Luck!

    I am on day 39 of the course right now. So far I'm down 3 inches on my waist and around 15lbs since I started doing it. I'm at the awkward stage where Sweat 3-4 is a little too hard combined with Strength 3-4 but Sweat 1-2 is pretty boring. I end up pausing during the high heat portions and try to finish out strong.

    The only complaint I have about it is that there are so few videos that his jokes get really annoying after awhile. If you can keep yourself engaged with it and really try you will see great results.

    I bought a set of bands off of ebay that has 5 bands, a door anchor, and handles. It was pretty cheap and has been good quality. I can make it harder by adding more bands. It's pretty nice.

    Hey Tbgree00,

    Great work on getting to day 39...I had a question for you. You said you were already on the 3-4 phase at 39 days, did you jump up because the 1-2 was getting easy/boring? My current calendar has it divided at the 6 week mark, with the final 7 weeks being 3-4. I just started week 5, and I am actually alternating the sweat 1-2 days with Fat Burner Express to build me into the 3-4 phase in week 7. I too am getting a little bored with the 1-2 Sweat Routine.

    Hi,

    Yes I jumped up because I was really bored with 1-2. If I hear "No blue people!" one more time I may throw punches through my TV!

    If I'm doing 1-2 sculpt I can complete 3-4 sweat pretty well. If I do both at 3-4 in the same two day period I can't complete the sweat. I think doing the squats in sculpt 3-4 kills my legs for the high heat portions of sweat.

    Yea I am getting pretty annoyed as well, I'm going to try your method for week 6 and go with Sculpt 1-2 and the Sweat 3-4 to maybe get me prepped for the full 3-4 sculpt and sweat routines back to back for 7 weeks. The fat burner express has actually been pretty tough as well, the constant squats/half squats/leg phases is hard as heck but man does it work!

    Thanks for the feedback!

    I owe my life to Tony and Power 90. It was the program I started off with when I was really out of shape (and morbidly obese). My DBF joined me a few days in. It was hard getting up every single morning before work at 6, but I lost 30 lbs with it and really introduced me into the world of fitness and health. I did however get bored of it quite quickly, since my endurance increased very fast (I am someone that picks up on fitness very fast), so I felt like it wasn't going fast enough. I quit about 78 days in and started Insanity :)

    This is what DH and I are experiencing as well. We went up to 3-4 for both sweat and sculpt at 30 days. We did okay for a week but then it got to be really hard to do them back to back. Of course we've also been sick and pushing through. Yesterday we decided to do sweat 1-2 again and I felt like I did better. I was able to really push myself instead of just trying to make it through level 3-4 and really worked up a good sweat. Maybe we'll alternate for a little while and keep working our way up to being able to consistently do both levels 3-4.

    Remember, don't grab a cheeseburger!

    You are going to LOVE power 90! It's not too hard, but not too easy. I LOVE the sculpt so much--but I have to admit, the yoga/cardio gives me a serious run for my money and it's HARD for me...let me put it to you this way, If I would ONLY do the program Cardio & Sculpt (beginners) and work my strength up to be able to move on to the next level...I have NO doubt I'd be built like a shero now.

    Thanks for posting this question, it's excellent and I'm not diligent with it as I should--but if you will be, you will see and feel results, I guarantee. Plus I LOVE Tony's spirit/personality (I also love Leslie Sansone) and a lot of people don't like their voices or enthusiastic ways, but I LOVE it!

    Do it...you won't be sorry, I promise!

    Love power 90! I am in month 2 and really am enjoying the program. I have done insanity and ChaLean Extreme and now power 90. I just love working with weights. I'm seeing great results and you will too! Have fun!
