How many days a week do you do this workout? Is it an everyday or 3 to 4 days a week workout?

It is designed to be done five days a week, but it depends on your goal. I workout six days a week, but I use this workout among other DVDs or just bodyweight workouts. This way, my workouts don't get stale.

I'm not a mom and I know you wanted to know if mother's have gotten toned from doing Zumba but I just wanted to say I've done both the Zumba and Zumba Exhilarate for three weeks in a row for 5 days each and haven't lost or gained anything. I know in both you work with the toning sticks. I just have regular 3lb weights which gets harder the longer you use them for these two videos. The Zumba 'Sculpt & Tone' will have you heaving if you're not in top shape. The Zumba Ripped is extremely low impact so I don't see why they call it 'ripped' when you barely break a sweat. I'm not in tip top shape but I know the Ripped DVD is too easy to do and don't see how you can get 'ripped' from it.

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.

Start with volume 1 and take it slow. The 30 min workout is challenging so do your best on the 57min workout. Pause and take breaks as needed. You will get stronger just stick with it.

The main eight workouts are about forty minutes each, including warmup. What they call the "Final Challenge" is twenty minutes, without a warmup, but unless you are in fantastic shape, it will leave you gasping on the floor, wondering if you will be able to get through it some time before your next birthday.

One month - I do my center chest, neck, and face once a day. Hope that helps

It really depends on how fit you consider yourself to be. Beginners will get a very good workout; I run about 6-8 miles a week and find that this offers an average workout for me; I still use it a few times a week to add some variety to my workout and/or if the weather's bad outside.

Apply at least 3 times per week. Daily if you can. Allow 6 - 8 weeks to feel the difference.

I have been told by a health professional to use mine 3 times a day. Be sure at least once to sit on the machine and rest your arms slightly behind where you are sitting, so that you receive a bit more therapeutic vibration for your arms and upper body.

I do this workout in a bedroom that I don't have a lot of room in. It is pretty stationary, sometimes you do a grapevine (4 steps) to the side & then back the other way. There is also four steps forward & four steps back. It works in small spaces. Hope this helps!

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.

The workouts are about 25 mins to 65 mins. They get longer as the course progresses. It's broken into four 3-week segments (4th segment is 4 weeks). It adds about 10 minutes to each workout per segment. If you get an account on TeamBeachBody com, you can access the Super Gym. This tool allows you to see the durations of every workout, including the Qi Gong routines if you decide to get the Tai Cheng Advanced Kit.

I use mine 4 days a week and have done so for more than a year now. I use it mostly for running with limited inclining. It runs today just as it did when I purchased it. Great for daily use!

I am a group fitness instructor and purchased the stepper to practice choreography. It is very small and the step is very low compared to one you would use in a normal health club. The DVD that is included with the step is very basic 25 minute cardio routine. Before beginning any new fitness routine/diet program, consult your physician. I workout at least 5 days a week for at least 2 hours a day because it is my job. Generally, you would like your routine to include 3-5 days of 30 minute aerobic work, 2-3 days of resistance training, and 1 day of flexibility/stretch. Incorporated with a healthy, balanced diet should help you get results over time. Of course, you would want to start slowly and work up to this level. Best of luck!

I only use once a day and 3 to 4 days a week. I have noticed that I don't experience irritation when I don't use it everyday and still benefit the results.
