well, it was delivered on Friday...I planned to play with it over the weekend, but I had a horrible GI virus that flattened me. I tried this morning but after 15 mins, i realized it was too much for me today. the bar is a very nice addition, but I didn't use it yet.
Mine arrived yesterday. The bar looks interesting and looks fairly sturdy. This also comes with a little booklet with a low carb meals plan for an eight day jump start, information about restaurant dining, a workout guide and a 7 day pack of some sort of Billy vitamins. The 5 DVDs come in this small paper folder thingy, which is the only thing that disappointed me a little. Most other DVDs I get come in a hard plastic case. Maybe he was being enviromentally friendly - I dunno.
Anyway, the plan recommends doing the workouts the first time without the bar, which makes sense to me since a new workout is always a bit challenging just because you don't know the steps yet. I'll be doing the cardio jump start tomorrow morning so I'll report in.
well this morning I was in a better place and able to do some of the workout more effectively.....I made it through 20 mins only and had a good sweat started (but I've been ill so that might be part of it). I like the cardio jumpstart routine, I really like the AMP-lifier,(or you could use a bodybar mini) I really like the workout that I've done, know I will feel this tomorrow.
There is no instructional portion I've found except in booklet form. Mine came from Collage where I paid $49.95, no vitamins, (little bio on Shellie) but mine was in the cheapie cardboard case too....I have some CD plastic covers at work to change them.
I ordered from Collage because of the difference in shipping price. at the same time I ordered Billys new Celebrity Sculpt and they wanted to charge me over $21.00 to ship everything....Collage was $10. more, but $7.99 total shipping.
