Are the workouts challenging enough for someone who is already in shape?

I consider myself pretty fit and would say without a doubt. The training style is so unique that that within itself makes it challenging.

The first 3 weeks of work outs (most of them anyway) are easier then the last 8 weeks but you will still be challenged. Every 3 weeks you subtract some work outs and add new ones. The new workouts get progressively harder. That being said all the workouts can be adjusted for a person already in great shape. Use heavier weight or do more reps, do the lunges and squats deeper, go quicker etc. The fit team is in really super shape and they work hard.

No! These are very repetitive workouts that are just boring! Don't waste your money. Invest in Insanity or other P90x if you're bored.

Yes! It has plyometrics so lots of jumping around! If you want to purchase a challenge pack find me on FB @ Charisse Lain, I can help you with your fitness and nutrition goals!!!�there are other workouts you can do that won't require jumping, btw...

I say yes. They have someone who does the modified version of the exercise so you could follow that. You can begin with the bar and put light weights on when your ready. You don't have to keep up with the trainers but you will be able to as your body gets stronger. I would follow the guidelines listed in the chart. It could be hard on your knees if you do more than what is listed. Good luck.

Yes. These short videos require weights. They are also very high tempo, unlike the older Firm workouts.

No, but it was fast moving for me. I guess it would depend on how good of shape you are in. Its more cadio and toning.

I would thinks so. I am 5 7" and 130 lbs. and do this workout to maintain and tone. I have been happy with results. Even my husband has done it with me and is amazed at how good it is for a 20 minute workout. I have not done either of those workouts so I don't know how to compare them to that.

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.

Absolutely! The discs start out easy and then increase in intensity and length! Les Mills has fantastic workouts that you can do with lower options available until you're ready to increase the intensity. Go for it!

The exercises may be hard at first but you can follow along on the video for low impact. it will take more then one round of 21 day fitness challenge to loose 20 pounds but for me it's been easy to stick with.

Yes, definitely you can. The videos that come with show you different exercises on how to work your core on the Total Gym.

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

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.

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

Hi Barbara, if you are out of shape, don't worry about it. I reviewed the dvd this am and found that many of the exercises are on the mat. It is relatively slow moving so you won't hurt anything. Whatever level you are improvement is what counts.

It's a pretty intense program. Not a great starter program. But if it would motivate you to exercise then yes but don't be Afraid to modify modify modify. The workouts are fun and motivating.

Nah, it's meant for people of all levels. Just stick with it and take breaks if you need to. I mix it up with p90x and p90x3. Don't ever get discouraged or think you cannot do it.
