Is there a way to skip Jillian's explanation of the program each time on the DVD? When I try to go to menu or fast forward it says prohibited on this DVD. It's kind of annoying. I understand listening to it the first time, but every time is a pain. I just want to get started each time.

Any ideas?

    No, you can't skip it. I usually start the DVD before putting on my workout clothes, grab some water and get ready while she is talking, instead of doing all that first and then standing there listening to her talk.

    Most DVD players have a skip options that will fast forward just past the explanation. Mine does.

    Exactly what I do. I was wondering what weights everyone uses. All I own is 5 lb weights, so that is what I use. I can't finish all reps

    Nope, you can't..at least not that I'm aware of. And it definitely is quite annoying when you're ready to bust out your workout!

    I use 5 lbs as well and I can hardly ever do all the reps! I hate it but my body gives up on the last 4-5 I try and do cardio if I give up on reps and keep moving

    I, too, get dressed & my water with the tv OFF while she goes through her spiel at the beginning.

    I use 3# weights- and can do all the reps. I couldn't do all the anterior (shoulder) raises (L1, circuit 3) the first two days, but am fine after that. (I'm still on L1)

    I use soup cans or water bottles ranging from 1 to 2 pounds. That was great to start since I was so out of shape. I could probably go up to 3 pounds now but can't find anything in my house that weighs that. May have to just buy some.

    I play it on my computer and the dvd program will skip it (and I usually turn the audio off so I don't have to hear her talking)

    nope, it does get annoying lol. I start the dvd and then get my workout gear on and hrm set while she talks. By the time I'm done she is also done rambling on :wink:

    edit* I use 5lb weights with this dvd

    Thanks for the replies. I am glad I am not the only one who feels it's annoying. I think I will start changing and getting ready while it's playing. That's a great idea.

    I use 3 lb weights for most of it and can do all the reps. I do use 5 lb weights for the chest presses though. I eventually hope to do the whole thing with 5 lb, but am not ready yet.

    I use 3lb but for some moves I think I can move up to 5lbs. I am on Level 3 now

    I use 8lbs weights for most of the moves and 5lbs for the more challenging moves!

    I use 5 pound weighs for most moves, but for a couple of the harder ones I use 2 pound weights. My endurance with the 5 pound ones have really increased though.
