Yes! I've been trying to remember which one used the weights. For some reason, when I use a weight, it seems less stressful on my neck. I did do the LMR Core 2 and I was able to do it. I had to take a 2-minute break after one of the moves and then start up again, but I did it and I got that...

Thank you! Ab stackers was one of my faves, and for some reason I thought it was in the LITE series, so I couldn't find it! Perfect 30 would have been the one I was looking for, so thanks. I don't think I knew Step Boss had one - I'll have to check that out, because I have 2 out 3 of the Step...

Check your e-mails, we got another one - with pics! There's evidently an ab/core section on the Total Body Metabolic Strength workout (first free download for those that ordered LMR2. The picture shows weighted crunches. I'm sooooo excited. I'm not sure if I can do a metabolic strength workout...

I already commented, but I just wanted to add that there are some videos that I won't purchase or that I used to own and gave away because they became too difficult for me at this age (ex. Crossfire), but they have bonuses (ex. abs) that I would still like to own, so a compilation would be...

I've always wanted a DVD with the Muscle Meltdowns from the ICE series (kind of like the one that was done for the strength bonuses in LITE). I'd also like a a DVD with the core bonuses as well as one with all of the extended stretches. Those would be big timesavers for me as far as getting a...

I did try LMR's Core Fusion awhile back, but it was too long for the amount of time I have (I add core to the end of my workout). I had to break it into 3 days, and if I remember right... I think there were pikes on the last day. Unless I'm getting it mixed up with another video?

I own STS 2.0, but I never had a chance to get into the set before my workouts came to a halt a couple of years ago. I'd read that the standing abs on it was easier, but I didn't realize there were 4 ab workouts - cool. Reasonable reps is EXACTLY what I'm looking for. I've found that my "form"...

Thank you. I do have Ab hits, but I remembered that most of them were crunches. I don't remember the 7 premixes - that sounds like it would have the variety I'm looking for, without being too far above my ability level. I'm going to check it out. Thank you! :-)

I have been back on my fitness journey for almost two months now, thanks to the helpful answers I received to my last couple of quests from so many of you. So, I'm back, asking for more guidance. lol I'm coming along on my upper and lower body strength pace - slow, but steady progress. For abs...

I count every additional pound that I add - no matter how I'm carrying the weight (vest or weights in hand). If it's not my body weight, I count it. I was taught to do that by a professional trainer, but that was in the late 80s, so not sure how it's done now. When using a barbell, I also count...

This is excellent information. Thank you Debinmi! She even used one of my favorite quotes, "If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you". She broke down quite a few research studies into bite-sized pieces that make sense. I like that she kept emphasizing effort over weight too. I have...

I've always enjoyed the updates - everything from building excitement to helping me determine how I plan to use it when it arrives. This time, though, I've had to start working out again from a long time away from it, and while I'm proud that I got started... I'm still struggling. I'll get...

I did try using the premix tab on her shopping page, but some of them didn't have that available (older videos), so I think that workout manager will help me find out more about those. Yeah, "bite" is an understatement. lol More like DOMS! lol I also have severe varicose veins, and I've found...

Laughing because you used a sledgehammer too - you poor thing - I'm STILL feeling it! lol I've never used the Workout Manager before, so I didn't know it could be used that way - thank you for the idea. That sounds more efficient than what I've been doing (reading blogs to try to find what I...

I love that - " thriver". Thank you Debinmi. That gives me something to strive for. I am hoping I'm on my way to that, because I recently met a woman that had just gotten herself out of a bad situation. I've been trying to do for her what my friends did for me. I wasn't strong enough at the...
