Fat Blaster delivers as promised
340200
I began my foray into Turbo Jam with the first DVDs released (Turbo Jam  Beach Body 5 Rockin' Workouts) and have ordered additional DVDs from the line to keep the variety fresh. Fat Blaster is a 30-minute workout consisting of four sets of turbos that you may have done in other Turbo Jam DVDs (a low intensity "practice" followed by a full intensity version). Instructor Chalene Johnson mentions that Fat Blaster is for "special occasions" and when you don't have time for a full 40-50 minutes. Side Note: It is best to be accustomed to the Turbo Jam moves (via the 5 Rockin' Workouts) because sometimes the instructor's transitions/cues are lacking. This is not a problem with practice!

I have performed Fat Blaster with and without one-pound weighted hand gloves and found that I can burn up to around 300 calories on average (I use a Polar heart rate monitor). To compare, for the Cardio Party 1 and 3 DVDs I am able to burn approximately 500-700 depending on how "into" them I am.

PROS: The intervals - you do low intensity followed by a relatively brief high intensity jump, and back again. Interval training is shown to improve performance and lead to the adaptation response; the body building new capillaries and being better at taking in and delivering O2 to your muscles. According to the American College of Sports Medicine, more cals are burned during short, high intensity exercise compared to long, slow endurance exercise. For more HIIT (high intensity interval training), I'd recommend Turbo Fire - an advanced version of Turbo Jam that incorporates more plyometrics and challenging moves in a series of DVDs (about 11 or 12 in total) done over the course of 20 weeks.

CONS: Fat Blaster isn't necessarily challenging enough for elite athletes. Same can be said about the entire Turbo Jam series, but I must say that you get out of it what you put in. Your intensity = more calories burned and a more effective workout no matter what you're doing. Also, it can be disheartening that you don't pour sweat in the first 10 minutes of Fat Blaster. At least it was for me the first time I did it. But by the time I was cooling down, I noticed that not sweating was no longer a problem!

That being said, I do enjoy Fat Blaster for the variety it offers into my normal Turbo Jam lineup and in ramping up to Turbo Fire.

Works as advertised.  I like being able to see the trends of BMI and % body fat in addition to weight as you may see improvement in one when the others are stagnant.  Helps with the motivation.

While I'll admit to having waited WAY too long to try this blaster, I have to say that had I paid original retail for the Rapid Madness I would still be pleased with my purchase.  Mattel has a great product in the BOOMco. line, which is unfortunately competing against a well-established and very influential longtime frontrunner (no, not Buzz Bee!).  Foam blaster politics aside, the Rapid Madness is a large, intimidating blaster with solid construction and a reasonably comfortable design.  This blaster comes with an included flip-up Smart Stick shield, a Smart Stick target, a 20-round clip, and 30 Smart Stick darts.  The extra darts are a great gesture from Mattel, as they all know how easily these things get lost and providing a few spares is a welcome change from Hasbro's somewhat stingy practices (I love you Hasbro, but you know it's true).  The Rapid Madness itself is trigger operated and air-pressure powered, requiring about 17 pumps (yes, really) for full charge.  The clip loads in from the left side, which is admittedly not as friendly to left-handed users but not a deal breaker.  Once fully primed and loaded, however, the Rapid Madness shines as a truly exciting and fun blaster, as it is able to dump its large 20 round capacity in less than 3 seconds.  This blaster simply STREAMS darts, and it has decent power and range to boot.  Perhaps the only troublesome element of the Rapid Madness is dart conservation, but honestly this thing is so fun to use I would call that a moot point.  My biggest recommendation for this blaster is to pick up a refill pack or two (<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/BOOMco-Clip-and-20-Dart-Pack/dp/B00FBWA7J6/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">BOOMco. Clip and 20 Dart Pack</a>) and just enjoy the fun of letting 20 darts rip!  The only major downsides to the Rapid Madness are the awful, complicated and wasteful packaging and the somewhat troublesome Smart Stick technology, but the latter is a subject for another review.  At Amazon prices, the Rapid Madness is easily one of the most fun blasters you can buy!

This is a killer 60 minute workout which blasts calories from head to toe. Using the ball intensifies the work out, targeting your abs, buns and thighs and all problem areas. Using the ball has helped me develop good overall muscle tone for my entire body, and the evidence can be seen in just a week! The workout also targets and trains the Transverse abdominus muscles: The deep abdominal muscles, Tultifidus muscles: The back muscles that support the lumbar spine and the Quadratus lumborum muscles: The muscles of the lower back that maintain spinal and pelvic balance. 6o minutes looks like a long time but because Chalene makes it so much fun the time flies. I've been doing the workout for two weeks now and I've never felt or looked better. You will sweat more than any Turbo jam workout, guaranteed. I definitely recommend the total body blast DVD for anyone looking for a challenging workout that blasts fat. No matter what your fitness level, try it out and see the results.

The Elliptical was delivered on time and was packaged securely. Set up took about 90 minutes. It works well. I have been using it for about 5 months now. I did find that after a while, the LCD screen has started to go out. While it isn't a huge deal, it does make for a slight inconvenience at times when you are trying to view your calories burned, total time, overall mileage etc. All in all, it has been a great, cost-effective way to burn some unwanted fat. I would recommend to anyone looking for a basic Elliptical.

Product arrived ahead of time so that's awesome. Product as described, now it's time to learn how to use it... correctly I mean, I actually beaned myself on head, so that's on me  not the seller :) it's a fun way to get a workout.

I'm thrilled to have found this workout program, and at a great price to boot! I like that Stephanie and all the women working out with her look "normal." No one looks all juiced up from steroids, as so many workout videos have ridiculously ripped people where such bodies are simply unattainable for the average Jane/Joe. The XTFMAX workouts are doable (exercise and time wise) and you get out what you put in. I have just completed week two and am very pleased, and I look forward to working through the rest of this sensible program. (I'll be a sweaty Betty and sweatin like a sinner on a Sunday!)

Once again Sound Blaster has come through with the goods.  The x-fi titanium pro installed easily and performed well above my expectations.  The install went hand in hand with my upgrade to Win 7.  I had only one hickup, caused by upgrading my Video Card after the initial Win 7 install that caused my SB to not work.  There was plenty of documention online and I was able to resolve it the quickly.

Most note worthy is that the Fast Fat Loss Plan includes fully illustrated daily diet plans that make it very easy to understand what you need to eat everyday, without even reading the book. I lost 47 pounds over 4 months on this diet. I ate only the diets in the book and it went smoothly.
The special section on losing weight fast, The Blitz diet section was invaluable. For anyone needing to lose fat fast and in a hurry this is the weight loss solution.
No potions or special things to buy, it all works on regular food we all buy at the supermarket.
The DVD contains the 20 rules of Clean Eating outlined by Julie Green. The first half of the movie is an introduciton to eating in very general terms.
A great book for people wanting a resource to lose body fat without any hype or false promises. The Fast Fat Loss Plan, works.

Good monitor.  Holds up to 99 data files.  Just have to keep the contacts on the chest strap moist or it will stop registering.  Like how it splits the workout time between fat burn and aerobic fitness improvement.  Very happy with this new toy!

Ann Louise Gittleman, a renowned nutritionist, has provided a plan to flush the body of toxins and bring the body into weight balance.
Is it easy? No. The first five days were pretty tough. Like any lifestyle change, this takes commitment.  Does it work? Yes. I feel better than I have in years--no 4 PM drop in energy, no indigestion, and I have dropped a size in clothes. And, my cravings are gone.
But best of all, I have found that I can follow the plan almost to a T at restaurants as well--no, NOT fast food restaurants!
Ms. Gittleman also answers questions on an ivillage Fat Flush board, so we get answers to difficult questions straight from her.
The Fat Flush Plan does take some study prior to beginning. Extra supplements are required.  Gentle exercise is an integral part of the plan.
I did find the book organization a bit mysterious, and the index not up to my snuff, hence my four star rating rather than five. But the Plan itself gets a five star rating from me.
So if you are serious about improving your health, losing inches and dropping weight, try the Fat Flush Plan.

The product itself arrived brand new and fully functional. Packaging left something to be desired, but if it works, it works.

Wii Fit U is a workout game that yses the included accessories to help you move and practice properly.

If you didn't think a videogame could kick your butt, think again!

Hello 2017, hello dabbling in new fitness equipment!

I purchased this product for a number of reasons. 1. I don't like doing crunches on my yoga mat alone on my hard laminate and tile floors, 2. I was attracted to the adjustable resistance levels 3. I liked it's adaptability to assist with more than one exercise.

When I received the product in the mail, it was conveniently pre-assembled. I reviewed the diet and exercise guides and worked out with the DVD. I admit it, it was too easy. This might just be because I'm somewhat of fitness enthusiast. The highest resistance levels didn't seem like enough for several exercises including all of the leg, arm, and cardio routines. The "cardio" portion of the workouts made me laugh, as no one is breaking a sweat in the DVD and I doubt anyone will raise their heart rate at home either. I started to cringe listening to the trainer promise that "just 8-minutes a day will help you 'sculpt sexy' results to 'develop muscle.'" From experience, I know it will take a lot more than that. Be cautious... if it sounds too good to be true...

The most useful aspect of this product was the cushioned seat for the traditional crunch routine and the device's effectiveness on the assisted push-ups routine. This is predominantly how I will be using this product. Ultimately, I know myself, how hard I have to work, how heavy I have to lift, and how high the resistance levels must be to make true gains. This device alone will not be enough to get me there. But for workout beginners, maybe this product will truly help them achieve their "dream body." I truly hope this device brings amazing results to those willing try it out. For me, I know I will embrace the Core Max Abs Machine as an assistance tool, just not the sole answer.
