Re: and Darcy / SS vs P90

[Guest guest]

Actually, I think I can answer this question. I'm done SI6, P90 and I know about Slim Series. Slim Series is the hardest, like you said more reps and longer workout. I think that Start it up is easier than P90's Sculpt 1-2 because the exercises in it aren't very hard,while Sculpt 1-2 has pretty challenging push up and tricep exercises in it. P90 reminds me of Joyce Vedral's Bottoms Up workouts where she does a triple set of exercises (even more than Tony does.) I prefer Ramp It Up over Start it up because I just think it's more fun. As for the music, I just tune it out anyway, I wouldn't care if they had music or not. I've never done

P90's 3-4 (will do them in this rotation in the future) but I would guess they would be a bit more challenging than Ramp it up...either between Ramp it up and Burn it up or at the same level. , you should really do some of Tony's other videos, I don't think he's annoying at all.

All of the Slim Series (I'm using “Slim Series”as a catch all term here to encompass of of Debbie Siebers' Beach Body workouts) use lighter weights for many, many repetitions, as I witnessed while watching Tear It Up! (77 minutes long) today. There are lots and lots of squats, which are a large muscle group and thus burn lots of calories and fat. There are lots of upper body reps too. There are lots of reps, period. Just when you think you've worked every muscle group a thousand times,

She takes you through them again. She uses the same exercises from routine to routine, and that can make the workouts boring, at least to watch. The music is anything but motivating, it's like muzak. Burn It Up!, for example, is almost identical to Ramp it Up!, only faster and thus with more reps. When watching Tear It Up! today I was hoping to see something different, but outside of a few different shoulder exercises it was pretty much the same, just more rep's, and for 77 minutes instead of around an hour. I have a dread factor going on this one now! Makes Burn it Up! look like Sansone! However, everyone I've talked to who has stuck with the Slim Series has experienced real results. So have those who have stuck it out with Tony. Personally I prefer Tony's workouts over Debbie's because they are more fun, and while Tony bugs me sometimes with his smug comments, he does cue form and technique very well and

more often than Debbie. Still, I would like to give the Slim Series an honest try. I want results and will put forth the effort required to achieve them. I plan on doing Burn it Up! Tomorrow and stretching with Cool It Off! Express tomorrow morning. Last time I did Burn it Up! my buns were on fire for several days, so I know that they work. I will up my weights for the upper body portions.

He's not so bad in P90 but he's " on " in P90X. Ug! But I know I can use my own

music and shut him up so that's good!

I don't know anything about the Slim workouts but I do know P90 3-4 is definitely more challenging than 1-2. I really like the 3-4 sculpt workout but the pushups are a killer. My preview of the 3-4 cardio, which I hope to do Saturday, tells me it will probably exhaust me and make me beg to go back to 1-2 but it might be just what I need too.
