Hello - Received first set!

Conure — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 17:58:15 +0000

New to forum and Bodylastics.

Received Mega Resistance kit last week.

I have a question about the UltraAnchor - I don't have any convenient doors on which to mount it. Has anyone tried to mount it on a wall?

Thanks

Just recieved my first set of bodylastics...very impressed...anyway, rather than just looking at them i want to get using them ASAP. I am 31 years old, 6'1" tall and 14st 11oz in weight so overweight!!! I am looking to start building muscle whiclst still losing fat and wondered what the best way to do that would be? I got the chiseled DVD with my set so guess i should just get straight into that however, having not exercised for a while, just wanted to check that would be ok to do. I am healthy enough...just dont know if i am strong enough????
Any suggestions would be great.

Many thanks

Hi All - Ordered my first Bodylastics set

LT — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 00:31:30 +0000

Hi everyone --

I just ordered an MMA set that should arrive on Thursday. It's way more resistance than I need or am ready for at this point, being new to bands and not particularly strong, but I was planning to get the Strong Man set as something to grow into and I needed the Anywhere Anchor, so I figured for the relatively modest price difference I might as well just go for it and then I can take some of the extra bands to the office with me.

I have been looking for an alternative to the gym for some time and I'm really hoping this is it! Aside from the money savings (which is no small thing), I just don't really have the time to get to the gym as much as I want and really am not into the whole scene in any event. I've been checking things here for a bit now and it seems like a very encouraging and positive group.

I'm going to be traveling for work next week, but am really hoping to get into a routine with the bands and starting to go through live exercise archives when I get back. Now I just have to decide where to begin ....

Used the bands to help train for my fundraising ride to battle cancer!

Hey everyone; just wanted to say a big thank you to this great online community! I have been using the bands for a couple of years now, and they have become a large part of my overall fitness training. My latest goal is to raise $2500 for cancer research by riding my bike from Vancouver,BC to Seattle, WA, and I hope all the 3 minute muscle, superset and tabata workouts have got my legs ready for the task!

Hello you bodylastics people, my first ever bodylastics arrived last week and today I had my very first workout session of Chiseled. I'm very positive to the training system and I see all those workouts at liveexercise as motivational boosters. I'm excited and hope there will be plenty of years of training with you.
Enjoy yourself people and have a great day!

new resistance band changes

andrew — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 03:52:12 +0000

I was looking at the bodylastics product site and saw they are greatly lowering the resistances on all the bands. Anyone know why? Would also be nice if they would at least put one heavy resistance band back like the orange ones. I have seen alot of people on this forum talking about using several orange for doing large muscle work. Can only put so many bands on the clip ring =)

Hello All

milwkeebuck — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 03:40:43 +0000

Hello Everyone,
I am only a couple of weeks into using Bodylastics bands. So far I have loved using these bands a whole lot more that using free-weights. I am trying to reach my goals of strengthening and gaining muscle, and putting on about 15 lbs. I like all of the workouts on Live Exercise a lot and I look forward to trying to achieve my goals.

Hello All!
I'm a brand, spanking new member, just joined up today and did my first workout (Kenpo Kickboxing and I LOVED it!) I'm really excited about this site. My life is in transition, and I moved away from my gym and personal trainer who I've ben working with for over two years! I started out at 327 lbs (it's embarrassing, but true), and at my lightest in the last 2 years, I was at 238. Unfortunately, I've gained back a fair amount of weight, which is the exact opposite of what I want to do. Does this website have a goal tracker? I'm getting married in October, so I have a lot of motivation. I just need to kick my butt into gear!

Anymore Cardio Shows in the Works?

Ashley — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 13:57:38 +0000

I am definitely not going to complain about Chiseled Cardio since I like the series quite a bit, but I do get tired of having to run through the show twice (and sometimes having to add some HIIT) to get the calorie burn I need. I was wondering if there were any one-hour cardio shows in the mix that would burn 450-500 calories like dancing, Zumba, etc.

Lately I've just been wanting to get my groove on so I've been playing Just Dance on the Wii (I always burn 500 calories playing for an hour), but it would be nice to have an instructor-led class through LiveExercise to switch up the moves and music.
