When a workout day calls for doing 2-3 cd that day, do you do them back to back or just work them in through a 24 hr period?

I have just been doing the basic "Into the Zone" for over a year and have done quite well with that alone. I have also done several other Cds on an adhoc basis. I don't think it matters a whole lot, but I do think they are on to a really good approach to fitness.

For me it depends on a couple of things. If I have the energy, I'll do it back to back. If not, I'll do it a few hours later if time permits. Truthfully I choose to only do two DVDs max as to prevent getting worn out or fatigued. I don't find doing 3 workouts to be fun or productive.

You can use it every day if you want but only for about ten minutes at a time. Also, you should vary your routine if you use it more than once a day. Routine referring to positions as standing, sitting, push ups or whatever exercise routine you do. If you use it more than once a day I would spread it out. I use mine in the morning when I get up and in the evening when I have time.

the gymboss lets you set two intervals. you could set a 3 minute exercise time followed by a 1 minute rest. It also allows you to set a certain number of those intervals.

I do but I dont take the W700 right before a workout. I normally do my workouts or my classes at the end of my day. I havent tried taking the W700 with the RocT drink but I have used them together in the same day. I will usually take W700 with Breakfast and Lunch then take the RocT 15-30 min before a workout.

Hi Thelma - the first workout (Mark, Move & Groove which is teaching the basics) is maybe 15 minutes long; the second (Disco Groove) is 35 minutes; the third (Party Express) is approximately 35 minutes while Shaun T's Dance Party is 45 minutes. I'm just now learning the choreography of Dance Party. They are all very challenging at first but just a lot of fun. There are 3 extra workouts: Rock it out is 45 minutes; Hard Core Abs is 10 minutes - what a workout that is! Booty time is approximately 30 minutes and this is the workout I've not seen yet. All really do get your body working and heart rate elevated for a very good aerobic workout as well as geared to strengthening the core. I chose to also purchase a week later Shaun T's Hip Hop Abs so I could learn the secret to his Tilt, Tuck and Tighten technique. Audio is not so good on the first CD but the second CD is much better and focuses on the abs. I'm liking this for the abs and obliques - strengthening the core. The third CD focuses on the buns and thighs - not tried that one out yet. At 66 I never dreamed I'd have so much fun working out alone in my living room. Loving it and hope I can build, strengthen and continue this activity for quite some time to come. Hope I've answered your question but then I think I've given you extra. If you make this purchase I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. The best workout! (Didn't like too much Zumba and J Michaels was boring) Shaun T is a great motivator and is great fun but then I do love to dance. Have fun Thelma. Write back and let me know how you like this. =D

Well, consistency is key. I wouldn't expect anything drastic. After you get over the slight bruising that will occur the first days and keep going there will be results. I could never get to more than 10 minutes or so at a time so I just include it as one part of a diversified routine to keep from getting bored.

Yes , u get 3 or 4 CD's on low impact aerobics and 2 on the air climber .. A diet recipe and the recistant bands.. It's all good , when I get lazy but still want to work out I stand in front of my TV while I got my dinner cooking and I start to step.. It takes no effort to do 15,20 minutes and u feel good about yourself!!

I've had the DVD's for some time now. I've done them 2-3 times per week, but certainly not everyday. If want to exercise everyday, that's great. But try to alternate heavy and light days. The Weider videos are great for heavy days. I like a two mile run or power walk on the light days. I also do Rodney Yee's 25 min Power Yoga video for flexibility on one or two of my light days each week. It's a great video, one of my favorites.

There are a few repeats, but they do not normally occur within the same workout. For instance, Cardio 2 has burpees but you don't do them again until Workout 9 or 10 (which is in Phase/month 3, Cardio 2 is in Phase/month 2). Also, sometimes the exercise will repeat but in a different form. For instance, the burpees that you do in Cardio 3, are different from those in Cardio 2 because instead of jumping to the back, you jump to either side. For these reasons, you either don't notice the repeats or you don't mind them because they are slightly different.

Six days a week. For example your first week will look like "workout 1, workout 2, cardio 1, workout 1, workout 2, cardio 1, rest." Repeat the exact same for week 2 then move to "workout 3, workout 4, cardio 1, workout 3, workout 4, cardio 1, rest" repeat for week 4 and then you're done with month one and you'll move on to month 2.

yes, I have done the routines 6 days a week, but I do the main one three days a week and then do the extra dvd's for abs, buns/thighs, yoga/stretching on the other days. I have done the extra ones twice in a row on the same day, but I have never done the main 30 minute dvd on back to back days. Concerned that could lead to an injury. I am middle aged, so may not exercise at your same intensity, but I don't think I could do the main workout more than 3 days a week.

It's been a few weeks since I read the manual. My best recollection is that it has 31(?) "transition" times per 24 hour period that you can program into it. A transition is from off to on, or from on to off. To do this for 24 hours would require 48 transition times. So, I guess the answer is no. You could use 2 of them with the contacts connected in series. Program 1 unit for 12 hours of transitions, and the other unit for the other 12 hours.***REVISION*** OK, I just looked at the manual, and it has 17 on/off transitions, NOT 31. So you would need 3 of these connected in series if you want 24-hour operation of on/off every 15 minutes. It's been a few weeks since I read the manual. My best recollection is that it has 31(?)

I had no trouble at all keeping up with my regular workouts. But if you're not sure, you might want to take it easy for the first two days. I find a big energy boost by day three.

I used to do only step, so I was using it an average of 3 x's a week. Now I mix it up with other exercise tapes, so use it about once a week. I do very basic step DVD's and I will be 70 yrs old in 2 days, and it always gets my heart rate up.

The cd's work from beginner work out to heavy work out. Sweating to the Oldies, if I remember right, is one good work out. These cd's are great and I enjoy working with them. I decided to stay on the beginner for a while then gradually move up. I hope this helps you.
