I am trying to decide between the Vol 1 & Vol 2 set. I am out of shape now, not overweight, which should I start with? Does it matter?

It doesn't matter. The volume 2 workout isn't harder (or easier) than volume 1's workout. Personally, I like the volume 2 workout better. I especially like the 'extra' 30 minute workout on volume 2.

I would get both, for the simple reason that you will need to mix things up; add on to keep things from getting monotonous.

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.

You don't need the extra discs. Before I started I read reviews and ppl were complaining that there the abs disc was extra. I was annoyed. BUT now that I'm on month 2 I realized you don't need to do extra abs because every DVD you get works abs in through all of the core exercises. I've found p90x3 different from p90x and Insanity in that my entire core is getting much much tighter - chest, sides, stomach... And it broke up and loosened my lower back in a very natural, healthy way. So you really don't need to do a separate abs program - you'll get nice abs from the 16 DVDs.

Here's the link to order the DVDS without weight package: www.beachbody.com/product/fitness_programs/les-mills-pump-workout.do?code=BDL_LMP_ORDERPUMPNOWThe form has a 3 installment plan, but after you hit "Place Order" you will be offered additional products. Just keep declining the offers (unless you want them) and eventually you'll get to "Payment Options" and you can elect to make a single payment. This option will probably save you on shipping costs.

They're both nicely challenging so, no matter which one you'll start, you'll still be adjusting to it for a while until you'll be able to get through the whole thing. So it won't really matter. They're more similar than they are different. Good luck!

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.

No. I think you should pick one or the other. I don't know what your exercise routine consists of but for me this was plenty.

I don't think that there is really a change in the number of DVDs. They are just separating out the programs: 1) Scultp 1-2; 2) Sweat 1-2; 3) Sculpt 3-4; 4) Sweat 3,4; 5) Ab Ripper 100; 6) Ab Ripper 200. This is really two DVDs with Sculpt 1-2/Sweat 1-2/Ab Ripper 100 on one DVD and Sculpt 3-4/Sweat 3-4/Ab Ripper 200 on the other. Fat Burner Express is, perhaps, a 3rd DVD, and is new to the pack (I don't have it). As with most of these kinds of sites, BB wants to make it look like you're getting whole lot of stuff for your money. In this regard, the program guide, meal plan, and 6-day fat burning plan, are small pamphlets that could easily be turned into a single, short document. The success measurement card and tape measure are exactly what they sound like. The literature adds value to some degree, but the most helpful 'bonuses' would be the exercise band and the online access to the BB forums. (I can't comment on the Fat Burning Express video, as it was not part of the package when I bought P90 years ago) BB is big on hype and marketing. There's a lot of sizzle, but you also get the steak too. The workouts are the real thing and are a great place to start if you are working out for the first time. Good luck.

Hello. Keep going and don't stop. I readjusted my diet and used this in a lot of different ways than what they offered on the DVD. I used this now as a supplementary part of my exercise regimen, so my arms are more defined. Everybody is different, so don't give up! Good luck :)

I personally like this series - http://www.amazon.com/Jim-Johnson/e/B002LPYUBM/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1 - they're written by a physical therapist and each book I've read so far sets you up with an exercise plan.

No, pure contact only is a bonus for people who go directly through team beach body. It's optional for a vol 2 workout and I didn't use it when I did volume 2. If you do the hybrid program of both volume 1 and 2 then it becomes necessary.

Both will give you great results. Both are different. But on pure results wise I would say Volume I just because it's a little more extreme. I highly recommend trying them both though

Hey there C.A. I actually got the base kit and upgraded to the Master Kit. The base kit is missing 1) Rumble Roller, 2) Qi Gong DVD, 3) Travel & Sport DVD, 4) Master Class DVD, 5) Weighted Gloves, 6), Red (heavier) thigh band, 7) Master Class Calendar. The difference between the 2 systems is Night & Day. I just don't think a person can do this program without the Rumble Roller. You need the Foam roller for the areas which are very painful and stiff. You need the rumble roller for areas which are stiff and require deeper work to loosen up. It's like magic when you transition an area which was very painful to start from the Foam Roller to the Rumble Roller. You really feel like you've made progress. By the end, virtually every part of your body will use the Rumble Roller ... and NO you don't believe that's possible when you start! The Qi Gong class REALLY helps you to focus your mind and relax. I always did it on "Day 7" of the workout week; the day you're supposed to take off. The Master Class DVD puts the system together making the final week by FAR easier to follow and adds a couple tips and tricks. I will say that the weighted gloves and Travel & Sport DVD didn't seem to add much to the program. The bands, yellow or red, tend to shoot down your legs. I found myself worrying about keeping them on more than feeling the tension they were supposed to add. However, I could see how ALL of these tools would be very valuable for the right person. I'm a bit younger and more fit so perhaps the slight changes in resistance didn't affect me like they would other people. Overall, I would DEFINITELY go for the Master Class. It's no more or less difficult than the Basic; it's just a more complete program.

My set didn't include a dvd, but there's a good amount of reference on-line at their site(still photos as well as videos). There's also quite a bit on Youtube BY Bodylastics which is really nice. Allows you to go through and get a feel of which exercises would be best for you. They also seem really personable, which is nice.

Personally, I'd buy both! Even though you are already flexible, I think you'd probably get a lot out of her stretching techniques in the first DVD, and then take it to the next level in the second. IMO!

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.

They are completely independent of each other. Personally, I think volume 2 is the better of the two.
