Call me a sucker (there is one born every minute!) but I was totally taken by the infomercial for The Firm "Body Sculpt" system. Before I shell out 90 bucks for three videos and a stepper, is it fun? Does it provide a good workout? Will I really see results in 10 workouts or less?
I lost 60 lbs from June '01 to June '02. Since starting grad school and student teaching, I've put 8-10 back on Part of it is eating, I'm not as careful as before, but I think the main problem is that I'm lazy. I was a comeptitive athlete in high school and college, and have always had a daily workout built into my schedule. Now I just don't have the time or motivation to train like I used to. I'll maybe go to the gym once a week and hop in to swim (I played water polo) once in awhile. But niether is as intense as it needs to be. I'm trying to drop ~20 lbs by christmas
I hoped something fun, that I could do in the privacy of my home would be helpful. My biggest problem is, I get motivated to workout, but the hastle of getting dressed, getting off the couch is not fun. If I could just do something when the urge strikes, I might be better about activity.
My final question: I live on the thrid floor apt. Are the Firm moves noisy? I would be doing this mid-day, and most neighbors are gone, but I don't want something that involves a lot of jumping
