You can also buy the cards from the Total Gym site and they suggest ways to customize workouts

I would do them every other day, or upper body one day lower body another. I would take rest days though and do cardio in between. I use the exercises on the total gym site and alternate down the list for different muscle groups.

It's going to be very challenging but any exercise program will be if you haven't worked out much before. Go slowly. Modify as much as you need. Pause the DVD if you need. As long as you come back every day and push play you WILL get better, stronger and leaner. Don't use weights at 1st and I double the warmup and cool down times. Good luck.

Yes. This system is only good for minor workout. If you want to "increase" your triceps, the tri bar will be better. Nonetheless with this push-up press i change my routines, shuffle them around and increase reps and sets. But that's just me. Hopefully I help answered your question.

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.

This would be a great workout for you because it is low-impact. A lot of the moves can be modified for your fitness level. Also this would be great for you to measure your improvement in your workouts (stamina, endurance, strength, flexibility and etc.). You will get a nice balance between cardio and strength training. Best of luck and Happy New Year!

Hello! I do not have this product myself, but I just finished watching some of the sample exercises. It seems that you would want to focus less on the cardio/dance section...maybe just once or twice a week for good measure, and pay more focus to the 'Bum Bum' workout, which is the the main butt sculpting section. I've been in and out of the gym for years and was an athlete all my life, so I know how most types of exercise work for the female body. For example, I've been doing some Tracy Anderson YouTube videos this past week. Although her goal is to get you to be the 'teeniest, tiniest' you, this is NOT my personal goal. I'm tall and thick, with a J-Lo type lower body. I simply wanted to lift my butt back up, give it a rounder, fuller appearance even, and do minimal toning to my thighs and arms. So instead of doing all of her exercises with speed and high reps and NO weight, I strap on ankle weights and do each move in a very controlled and slow manner, only doing about 15 reps of each exercise. This will lift and tone muscle rather that cause it become too compact. And in just a few days I started to noticed lift in my bum, toning on the sides of my legs, and better overall appearance. So I think if you stick to that type of agenda, being sure to really concentrate on the move, really engaging your glute muscles, and not doing everything too fast...and definitely minimizing your cardio, you will get the results you are after. I'm not a certified trainer, although I briefly studied sports med. in college, but I've been working for years on sculpting nice glutes and legs...so I know what works and what DOESN'T work for women. HTH!

I think that this is tough enough and will give you a challenge even if you have done Insanity. Keep in mind it's only 2 workouts, but totally worth doing. It's not as intense as Insanity I would say, but you will definitely get the feel of Insanity in some of the stuff Shaun T does. Does this answer your question?

I have thoroughly enjoyed my Pilates Power Gym Pro; however, I will have to increase the resistant bands. For me the extension is not an issue, I would look at the dimensions to determine if you will e able to get the maximum length needed to get the most resistance. For me that is not an issue.

I would use a thin mat under the equipment. The exercise mat is nice but thick and would likely distort.

I HIGHLY suggest getting a mat...the resistance band should come with your package but don't use weights.

I do have a house with the room. I have a pull up bar. I personally hate pull ups so I don't do them. When it's time for pull ups I just do more push ups instead. I am not an expert but I don't think it would significantly impact results as long as during that time you are still doing something. Also it's not every tape that you have to do pull ups any way. Only like maybe 2 of the DVDs have a pull up section. There's not one DVD that is ONLY pull ups. Every DVD has a variation of things your going to be doing.

If it came with calendar, I ignored it. I just progressed straight through the workouts. Compared to Insanity it is far few jumps, or jump squats. Don't get me wrong, you will be jumping with Ruthless, just not as much. It was said in a previous review, but one of my bigger issues is not remembering what a workout is after doing it. The names are a little screwy. I miss using weights, so I just do a Tony Horton Fitness on You tube to incorporate weights.

it comes with a small poster about 18 inches by 24 that shows some exercises, and what muscle group they work. You can find workout routines on the Internet.

The person out of shape will be able to use it. More importantly, will the person stay with the exercise bar in order to master the coordination needed to have it work well. It is not hard to master. It is, as with all other activities, a matter of practice. Is the person out of shape willing to put in the practice. Being out of shape is not the problem. The problem arises when the person does not put in the practice time necessary and then blames it on being out of shape. Use it and you will master it; don't use it and you won't master it. That is the hard and easy of using the exercise bar. Ben

Yes, if you use weights that are heavy enough to do 10 to 12 reps to challenge you. Besides going to the gym, I use Chalean Extreme DVDs for my morning workouts.

There is a timetable you follow. Personally I wouldn't recommend this one, though, it's an incredibly boring workout in my opinion, but of course you might feel differently from me. Anyway, you just follow the schedule and you'll be fine. Good luck :-)

I only use it "After" my workout or I use it right before. and I do it once a week. I just have a feeling that using it every time I workout would not be a very good thing to do.(Considering how I workout 5 times a week*)
