I am between these and the Ballet Physique. I am a beginner, and don't know which one would be best. Any suggestions?

I would go with the Ballet Physique, first of all its cheaper and you are a beginner, and second of all the Physique 57 woman is really hard to listen to. She feels like she needs to fill every second with talking. They are both great workouts, I just didnt personally like the Physique 57...

I don't know anything about Ballet Physique, but it's a year later and I'm still using my Physique 57 DVDs regularly. They have variations for beginners, and you can work up to the regular moves as you keep doing the workouts regularly.

I am not familiar w/ ballet physique, but I started w/ Physique 57 as a non-exerciser. I started w/ 5 & 2# weights and have slowly built up to 12 & 5 #. I also am VERY uncoordinated, but am able to follow this. I do these videos 3x/week (and elyptical on the rest if the days). I have the best arms & abs I've ever had in my life. (I am a 43.5 yr old mom of 4!) You will see results w/ in 3 months. I have been doing these for over 3 years, because I don't ever want to go back!! Hope you love it as much as I!!

Get them. You can always use the back of the chair for the ballet bar ( that's what I did) try the 30 min videos first

Would you recommend The Exhilarate Set? I'm in desperate need of a good workout (not boring) and I'm not sure which set to buy? Thanks!

Move on to P90x3 if you want to continue short workouts. After doing two cycles of p90x3 and now starting p90x2, I become more and more disenchanted by the amount of time I spent with T25 and the lack of results. I see some people got amazing results with it, but for me, after alpha, beta and gamma, I had barely dropped 4 lbs. After moving on to x3, I dropped almost 10 lbs and started to see a lot of definition and there wasn't any major change in my diet between programs. Fairly or not, I look at T25 as simply a cardio program with a little bit of weight stuff thrown in there. Insanity might be the way to go if you are willing to commit to the longer workouts, but for short workouts, I don't know that you can do better than x3 for hitting the total body. You won't get that gasping for air effect that you do in T25, but I do believe you will get results. Good luck

If I were you I'd go to my local library and find out what Zumba products they have in their collection and try them out. Then purchase what you like best. My library had every Zumba DVD and game either in their collection or available through a different library. If they don't have it don't be afraid to ask. In case you haven't guessed, I work at a library. :)

I would say go with as big as you can afford to go. They can always grow into the bigger goal. And practicing on a bigger goal will make the smaller one easier to cover ground on.

I personally have owned and tried Turbo Fire. I was not a fan. I have a friend who swears by it....I however was not a fan. She has done the Combat with me as well and loves. I think it depends on what kind of a fitness personality you have. I like the grittiness of the Combat over the choreography of the Turbo Fire. My opinion, if you haven't done Turbo Jam to understand her style and moves it is pretty hard to follow along. It would take several sessions to get the choreography down. However the Combat does break it up nicely. I break a sweat - a pretty good sweat I might add - everytime I do Combat. So to sum it up. I feel both are intense. I feel the choreographing for Turbo fire makes it "harder" to follow, but conditionally it is the same kind of workout. Hope this helps.

My twins have a wider foot and started in this boot. It was not the right boot for them. I would look at the Jackson boots since they are made a bit wider. Jackson makes a great skate at comparable price for beginner skaters as well and they have a much softer top.

In my Personal opinion (with no fitness or health licesnes or real life experience), I think it would be as it 1) has a person who does the modifications if needed, 2) starts you off slow and through time exercises get longer 3) if you like some non dance coreography kinda thing with fighting moves, its pretty motivational, not too hard and most importantly fun :) GL if you try it.

Kelly, do you work for beachbody or something? These workouts are insane! You didn't even break a sweat?? I just finished Chalean Extreme, a 12 week program training with heavy weights along with some plyometrics, kickboxing, etc. It's a great workout, but that was easy compared to this. I'm no athlete, but I'm in pretty good shape. I totally disagree. BBL is NOT good for a beginner. I sweat bullets when I do this and I'm not a big sweater! Good luck Kat.

Well, to be honest I do not know if the stiga would be better than the killer spin. When I first bought the killer spin I did not think it was going to be as good as I thought it would. however I was surprised of how much speed and spin it has. Another thing is that stiga in my point of view is more known brand, but again you're buying it ready to go so it is kind of a bargain for the price...it could be really good or so so. I don't know your level of table tennis but I think the killer spin it's a excellent start for beginners and intermediate levels. And the price is not bad.

Get up and enjoy yourself. If you like to dance this is the one to start with. Don't worry about trying to do everything at once. Just take your time and build up to the rest. My grandchildren even worked out with me. They loved it. Motivate yourself to learn just one song and dance routine, then move on to the others. Just do it for yourself! I know you will feel much better.

I would go with either the flex 3 or 2.. the flex one will be really stiff at your weight

I'm a 9.5 and I got a medium. Fit well and did its job pretty well. I actually tweeked my ankle during basketball one time with it on...maybe 6 months in. It definitely helped, but doing that made me look for something even more sturdy. I use the ASO Ankle Stabilizing Orthosis - Black - Medium instead and really like it. It gives a lot more stability. It's made well and I find it fast to put on as well. I would get tripped up at times with the royce lacing-if you're familiar with old ice skates you'll know what I mean. You have to make sure you're on the hook right or you have to relace it. The aso is slightly more bulky but doesn't hinder anything for me. The aso happens to be cheaper than the royce right now as well, so you may want to check that one out as well-and the ratings. Good luck in you choice. And may your ankle be safe in its endeavours ;)

D. Rein, I am debating purchasing one of these. I've really gotten into workout dvds and I'm tracking my calories without much success on my scale. I am hoping one of these can help me adjust my workout/eating to reach my goals. Which do you think would be better for me? I work a desk job so most of my day is sedentary. I'm also continuously tired and am excited to have something that tracks my sleep. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

The best for you is A2, because you have to have some room to move faster. Thanks.

Ok just speaking for myself and my experience. I am NOWHERE near your bra size. I am teeny, always have been since ballet when I was young. I am 5' 4" and around 128-130. Frighteningly for me I had to go with a Large in this suit. It fits comfortably but not very loose so is secure for swimming laps. All I can say is if I had a hard time getting into a large I really can't imagine you fitting into. Large. But you can always order and try and return in case I am wrong. Not sure if this helps but hope so. I think you would have better luck with anXL or more in the Sporti brand unitard. Good luck! Ok just speaking for myself and my experience.

Definitely! The intensity is WAY higher than TurboJam, but you just go at your own pace and you'll get in shape enough to do it full out in about a week. It's totally worth it, there are some REALLY fun workouts! And Chalene delivers the energy and inspiration as usual. :)
