Is there any jumping up and down in these DVD workouts? I live upstairs and can't do jumping up and down and wanted to know if that can be avoided

I lived upstairs and did P90X with jumping and never had a problem, I used foam mats and "landed softly" as Tony says. But I also lived around college idiots who made noise 24/7 and blasted music all day and night so I don't think they would have complained about some jumping on and off for 40 minutes. Most of the time though you are not jumping much actually only on some exercises but you land softly and with control.

If you do the lean program and do the beast cardiovascular routine then there is some jumping yes. But in the regular weight lifting routines which you will be doing 95% of the time there is no jumping. Just be careful dripping weights as that is loud as well. Other than that I don't forsee it being a problem. It's not like P90X in that way.

There's a little in the beast cardio disc...but I don't like jumping so I never did it

There is a little for warm ups and if you do the cardio disc, but I avoided as much cardio as I could lol

Speaking for myself, I'm not following a program. I'm doing the ACTIVATE DVD this month, then I plan to move onto the EXHILARATE DVD next month. It took me three days for my body to adjust to following the steps and still, I'm not perfect with all the moves, but I'm keeping up. RUSH is WAY too advanced for me right now, although it is 20mins. So, I'm just having fun with ACTIVATE for the moment. Don't kill yourself trying to keep up, listen to your body ( unless your body tells you to give up, then don't listen!)

Hey man, I understand your sentiment completely. I have the same problem. Our of all her workouts, this is the one you'll havethe least problems with. There are only 2 cardio workouts that involve a lot of movement. This workout is prefect of you don't want to cause a disturbance. Just don't abruptly drop your heavy weights (but you shouldn't do that anyway). But seriously- don't worry about it. This is a perfect solution for your issue. (I'm also not paid to say any of this if anyone was wondering. I swear by this workout)

So let me start by saying I am in the age range of 45-50 & feel I can keep up fairly with others depending upon how fast they go. Now, with that said, I truly do enjoy this DVD ! Honestly, there isn't any kickboxing, but it certainly does raise one's heart rate(& really makes you think on controlling your own breathing!). Certainly do the DVD yourself before you bring it to class to have others do it. I do the DVD in my living room(carpeted) and it can get a little much on the knees if I do it &gt;3 days in a row(remember my age ;-) ). Shaun doesn't address form as often as I would like him too, so you should know the exercises before showing the DVD to others! Wishing you all the best with your class of cardio kickboxing!

Absolutely. I used to do the system when I lived on the 3rd floor of an apartment complex and my neighbors had no issue with me. As the others have said, Tony stresses the importance of soft landings. I had carpet and would do the workouts in my shoes but as long as I didn't stomp there were no issues. It's a great system, you should have no problems whatsoever.

No floor Exercises. All the exercises are mixed in the other t25 cd's no new moves. I didn't feel any soreness in my core as I did with the Alpha core cd. It does give you a good cardio. If you are looking for new moves or more intense ab workout, this is not going to be the cd.

Down on floor for a push up then jump back up. But you do not stay in the floor for a routine

The dvd has different women doing different levels of each workout, ranging from beginner to advanced. I purchased a 5-20 adjustable kettlebell so I cud start light and increase over time. Im now following the advanced fast track program where u do 2 workouts back to back and rest the next day and so on. My goal was to lose 8 lbs in 8 weeks. Ive already lost 6.5 lbs in 6 weeks by following this program along with a clean and energizing diet of lean protein, veggies, complex carbs, nuts, 8-10 glasses of water and 1300 mg max sodium intake. Tracking my food on fitness pal app helps tremendously along with a heart rate monitor during the workouts. Best of luck!

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.

They are very easy to use once you get the hang of it. Enjoy & have a kick-ass workout! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VX-Daef9fSQ

You don't exactly run on this machine. I would recommend searching for videos on YouTube that show people using this piece of equipment. That said, you are in control of the movements. You can make slow, deliberate strides, hold them for a pause to really feel a burn...or go fast.

I second Karen. There is one cardio DVD included with this set but it is truly a strength training program. No jumping or bouncing required. I LOVE this program, hope you do too. One note - it's actually cheaper to buy direct from BB, you get one more free workout DVD and then you can send it back if you don't like it. Let me know if you want details. I'm a coach. Thanks!

Not that much jumping . there is also a low impact option person to watch. fair amount of jumping jacks in the hiit workouts. you might youtube a few of the workouts to get a better feel. my knees are a.little bit rough but.it doesn't seem that bad.

Yes. Not as good of a workout. I started with just a slight up/down motion and increased gradually til I got to max.

It has the 3 main starter DVDs pulse two extra workouts to change it up. I haven't tried the two extra ones yet. I can say that the 3 main DVDs kicked my butt & I'm still trying to keep up. I have noticed a change in my backside just after a few weeks. My baby belly has shrunk too.
