I'm a college student who weighs 150 lbs. Would this be sufficient enough to shed a few pounds? I don't want to pay $144 for all of the dvds

You have to be careful doing high intensity exercises more than 3 times a week especially if the person doing them isn't used to it, unfit or has done other types of low intensity workouts prior to this. Jumping head first into high intensity exercises can cause your muscles to actually break and give you Rhabdo. Start slow only do what you are able for 2-4 weeks for each sessions 2-3 times a week and push yourself slightly. Behind it all eat well and hydrate as that is the biggest factor to supporting these workouts.

Yes absolutely- If you really do the workout and stick to it. It's a very challenging routine.

I love Shaun T, don't get me wrong, but from a woman's perspective, I LOVE all of Jackie Warner's DVD's. If you are just starting off, get the Interval workout. If you are short on time, try the Xtreme Time Saver, but all of them are good.

I have been doing insanity for 2 weeks. I have been working out for 20 years, taught spinning, and am in good shape. However, this is the hardest I have ever worked. I think it would definitely get you to where you want to be and more.

Yes-as long as you have the dedication to keep doing the dvd at least 3 times a week. If you're not a regular exerciser, it may take some getting used to, but if you stick with it, you'll see results.

It includes 4 DVDs--the Basic Workout Plus with instructions, the same DVD without instruction (for when you know it well enough), Step Away the Inches ( a 25 min walking workout) & Yes, You Can (video of one of her seminars--mostly inspirational, but has some keys moves like how to relieve back pain & get rid of tricep flab.

I would say I'm in decent shape and can use it pretty effectively. If you prefer quick short steps, you will stay at the top of the stepper, for longer (I think harder) steps, let yourself down a little farther each time by moving more slowly. I wouldn't call it gym quality, but I get a good workout especially for endurance if I do over 20 minutes at a time.

Overweight, unhealthy mess.I bought "the Urban Rebounder" & all their Videos {DVDs} and started slow.6 years later, I've permanently dropped the dangerous fat & am still building muscle.YES, the "Urban Rebounder" is a spectacular exercise item that will Not crumble under a 300 lb. person.I never had any problems with my weight & the Rebounder, and there are 2 other Family members now using it.I only have to use it 20 minutes daily to keep in shape.hope that helps!P.S.: BTW, it is also a LOT OF FUN.

I would jump on it. It is an excellent upconverter of sd dvds. Gettting hard to find. I picked one up at bb for $150, and it was the last one.

Yep, you should be fine. It's a weight lifting program, but it comes with 2 cardio DVDs. You hardly do any jumping throughout the program, so you should be fine.

I started as a beginner a month ago and did the quick start dvd until I felt comfortable with the basic moves (about 2-3 times). While I still don't look as coordinated as the instructors and still make mistakes from time to time, I got the basics and I have a great time doing the program. I'd start with the 20 minute dvd or the 30 minute burn after that to help ease you into the program. Good luck!

I don't think it's flimsy. For the price I don't think you'll find something better. Only downfall for me is the decline position. I don't care for the decline. It's not gym quality but works well for home. Chest flys or bench presses causes no problems with stability. I guess if you're a heavy power lifter or something it may be in inadequate.

The dvd has different women doing different levels of each workout, ranging from beginner to advanced. I purchased a 5-20 adjustable kettlebell so I cud start light and increase over time. Im now following the advanced fast track program where u do 2 workouts back to back and rest the next day and so on. My goal was to lose 8 lbs in 8 weeks. Ive already lost 6.5 lbs in 6 weeks by following this program along with a clean and energizing diet of lean protein, veggies, complex carbs, nuts, 8-10 glasses of water and 1300 mg max sodium intake. Tracking my food on fitness pal app helps tremendously along with a heart rate monitor during the workouts. Best of luck!

yes it is. it's higher weight, slower reps and it's a progressive program. you can lift as much ( or as little ) as you want but in the dvd's it's usually heavier weights. it's a really good program

Not a crazy amount. I used my living room to do it. I recently moved so I don't have a ton of furniture it, but I do have a mess of boxes still. Using that as a gauge, I'm sure that you could push aside a coffee table and give yourself enough rooom to do the videos. A lot of the moves are small but fast anyway. The initial explanation of how to do them is shown with bigger steps, but those steps get small the faster they intend for you to go.

If you are just starting out and want a single workout, there are dozens of other good options for less than $10. I would recommend any of Bob Harper's Cardio DVDs, or any of the Biggest Loser workouts. This is a good workout, but if you're not adding it on to the full T25 program, it's a little overpriced.

I found this machine to be to strenuous on my shoulders.....otherwise on a scale of 1 to 10 I give it a 4.... I think your money can be better spent on other equipt. Hope that helps

Hey, sorry for the late response. None of the models in the video are of a bigger size. However, I do think this is a great DVD for some around 180. My friend is around 180-200lbs and she is currently doing the Classic Solution. Nothing in the series is completely out there for anyone of bigger size.

It will help if used daily. Get an ab belt back support. They really shed the pooch and cost around 12 dollars. I wear mine all day and noticed I'm slimmer. Doing ab workout would be beneficial too. Don't rely on one thing to solve the problem.

thinking about purchasing this. Would this bee too much for a person who is just getting into working out? I thought the program could be scaled back to fit my abilities now and increase over time. I would like to know what others think.

I weigh 330 lbs and the wheels have held up great. And this is in a college dorm room where its getting beat up and such.The butt padding gets pretty thin after a year is the only negative I have about this chair. But that will happen with about any chair with that much weight on it.
