Loving this thread! Wonderful support when you feel like giving up! Especially when you got a John Wayne strut going on like mine!

Hi Geeks reading with I retest about the Insanity sounds great. If there's anyone who has done Les Mills Body Combat can you tell me if its the same sort of thing! I love body combat and lost lots of weight doing it about 2 yrs back but slipped back to bad eating and it's all back ! I don't gave time to go to class to do it but maybe insanity at home would be good if its similar? ( can't get hold of les mills combate on DVD

I've never done Les Mills but I have to say I normally detest exercise DVD's. I love this one because. I feel like I'm getting a work out I would only normally get in a tough gym class in my front room and because there are a few DVDs it's varied. Not the same old same old every day! It feels fresh and challenging each DVD I put on has kept me interested! It's quite a lot of jumping, so if you've done exercises like burpees, squat jumps, squat thrusts then you'll be familiar with it. I've got slightly dodgy knees so can't do all of the jumping but I make sure I keep moving and try to do a challenging alternative.
