hi lisa! this message is, like, a month old and i finally found it

in my inbox. sorry about that.

concerning the amped workouts.... half of the class uses the

amplifier (3 lb weighted bar) while the other half doesnt. so it

is completely possible to do the workouts without the bar. and

billy recommends that you start out that way, anyway. but i always

use the bar because it adds alot of challenge and variety to taebo.

i have lots of other taebo workouts to choose from if i dont want

to use the bar on a given day. also, instead of using nothing,

you could use a wooden dowel or broomstick. that would be a good

unweighted substitution for the amplifier. make it 30 inches long.

billy does use the amplifier in its 24 inch position once in a

while... you could have another dowel at that length and grab it as

needed, or just not worry about that at all since it is used rarely.

Thanks, Carolyn. The idea of a 3 lb weighted bar make my upper body ache.

LOL But I imagine it's a fun (and effective routine) with the bar, or a

dowel. Something different - always a good thing.
