Which program is better for a beginner, Rushfit or Les Mills combat?

I never heard of Les Mills combat, but Rushfit is good for a beginner or someone that is already fit.

Combat is a fun kickboxing class set to music. Some people are motivated by the music and party atmosphere of it. Rushfit is more challenging (and has a more "serious" feel), is adjustable as you make progress, and is currently cheaper. If I were to recommend just one for best results I'd recommend Rushfit.

I never tried Les mills combat before, but before i purchased Rushfit the last two programs i decided to choose from was between Rushfit and Les mills combat. I decided to go with Rushfit because it has 3 Different 60 day workout calendars. It has one for Beginners, one for Intermediates, and one for advanced. so no matter your fitness level you should be able to get into the program as long as you stay motivated.

Rushfit has warm-ups, and cool downs with stretching. The workouts are challenging but not crazy. We have had great success with Rushfit. You will sweat and get in shape. The instructors are very knowledgeable and the workout seem well thought out. Les Mills just looks like a crazy in your face zumba class with loud house music. I would definitely choose Rushfit.

This is a weightlifting program so has long as you don't drop the weights on the floor you should be fine. Chalene's TurboFire, on the other hand, has a lot of stomping...my fiance can hear me clear across the house!

I tried Pure Barre and Tracy Mallett's Booty bar in addition to Physique 57, and I like Physique 57 the best. It is the most interesting, the best music, and efficient. 30 minutes for the express and 57 minutes for the total, and I get a great workout and don't get bored.

Les Mill DVD's can only be purchased if you are an instructor (i use to be one). You can find them on ebay being sold by instructors who no longer teach or someone has made illegal copies :) I do know that the version sold on Amazon differs from the Beachbody website version. The Beachbody website actually offers (2) 55 minute workouts and amazon only offers (1). Also I have no idea if this workout is any good or comparable to the original Les Mills DVD's. I have only taught from original Les Mills dvd's. Hope this helps.

Hi Eastcoast,I'm just finishing the month 1 DVD it's about 20min of the cardio (basically same moves as STTOldies DVDs) the toning is a little light -about 15min & the balance challenge is 10min. It's a good workout but I still do the Sweating to the Oldies 5 DVD w/ it. It's a little different than the oldies workouts but equally effective. I've lost 29lbs w/ both DVDs since Jan 16th. I love Richard Simmons too & I feel encouraged & excited to workout. I exercise 5-7 days a week. It's a worthy investment in my opinion. God bless you & I wish you well on your fitness goals.

It is so easy. Watch their info on youtube before you buy it. Watch it a couple of times, but it really is simple to use. You will not regret getting it. But get the wristband as well - I think it is 2 or 3 dollars. I absolutely love the minmax because of the interval settings, very versatile as you have a lot of options but of course you can stick with a very simple program. I also find the stopwatch useful for timing runs etc. Really makes a huge difference in the workout. Hope this helps.

they are similar moves in the 45 min power kata and extreme cardio. but in power hiit and plyo it is something cometely different and really shapes your muscles. I did the program 3 times and lost 15 pounds and 2 inches on my waist.

YOU are going to want to mix it up. The Core Speed is a good one to use in between transitions of T25 Focus. I have to say, that after doing Insanity a few times, and P90x3, the T25 is great. My wife even started doing it instead of her regular class at the Y which is pretty intense. You really do get a great workout from T25, and for those like me who have limited time due to Job, and family responsibilities, it's been fantastic.

I dont know about turbo fire but combat' hiit workout is just as challenging as an insanity workout the combat punching anf kicking workout depends on your technique so in the begining they just seem like a long warmup but when you get the technique right you'll feel it my waist have gone from 73-70 cm in 60 days i have had an mixed week of workout This week but ill start a 2nd round next month if you buy try to get the ultimate warrior package i burned 400 calories in lower body lean out and the actual workout time is aprox 27min :)

Rushfit isn't as intense, but is a smarter more scientific work out that applies to every day athletics. go here to learn everything you need to know about rushfit, p90 and insanity: http://www.acefitness.org/certifiednewsarticle/1443/

I would go with the rowing machine or even better a power tower instead. After having this machine, just like my total gym I gave it away as I found myself not even using it. The resistance isn't all that great. I bought a power tower, a spin bike, those two things I use at least one every day 5 times a week, where with the Ultimate body I found myself bored of it in about a week, it just wasn't a good workout. I get so much better workouts just using my power tower, spin bike, and free weights.

I would recommend you to get the full version of insanity, if you want to gain muscle. This is just a warm up for insanity. Hope I answer your question.

I found it to be challenging for 30 mins the workouts are great and very effective, I'll say its kinda like a shorter version of p90x but Insanity is a whole other challenge within itself the only other program I've done that was on the level of Insanity was the Asylum which is sports training very challenging. Rushfit is a great program that gets the job done and I enjoy it

Kat, if you are 'just' starting to workout then the BBL would be a good starting point. I'm between intermediate and advanced and didn't even break a sweat with it. So definitely wouldn't recommend for anyone BUT beginners.

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.

I have the fluidity barre and use it with my physique57 dvd's but I have also used the dvdks without the barre and had good results. I just started doing the monthly challenge and I'm already seeing results.

I prefer The Skogg System and dvds by Sarah Lurie, Lauren Brooks, and Andrea DuCane. These are serious kettlebell workouts. There are a lot of dvds that are aerobics using a kettlebell. I would also recommend instructional dvds by Pavel Tsatsouline and The Great Kettlebell Dvd. These dvds will show you how to do the exercise but it's up to you to create a workout. Some workout samples are available on YouTube if you want a demonstration before buying.
