POUND Rockout Results System - 5 DVDs, 9 At-Home Workouts, Nutrition Guide with Recipes, 60-Day Fitness Calendar | Home Exercise Program for Weight Loss & Toning | Perfect for Busy Women & Beginners

I have to give this workout 5-Stars! Let me preface by saying I used to be quite the workout girl! But that was 13 or so years ago. Since then, I've been HORRIBLE! Lots of life changes, etc. ANYWAY..when I saw one of the founders/instructors on Live with Kelly (with Jim Parsons "Sheldon" from Big Bang Theory) it looked like so much fun! Clearly there were LOTS of squats involved but the drumsticks seemed to offer a great distraction. They got me! A couple days later I ordered POUND and it has sat in my den/exercise room until TODAY! I cracked open the box to find a great recipe book! Lots of delicious food in there! Then I thought, 'if not now..when?!" and popped in the DVD. When I saw it was 30-minutes I didn't think I would make it through and thought "do what you can..it's a start"..WOW! Time flew by so quickly that it was over before I knew it! THIS IS TOO FUN! I did DVD 2 (DVD 1 is the intro explaining the moves) and when I was done my legs were like Jell-o! I've only done the one workout so I can't speak for the others but what I can say is that based on my noodle feeling legs I can honestly say I think I'll be a bit sore tomorrow! I do wish they had more stretches for the glutes and adductors (thankfully I know a few) though. Nonetheless, the workout is fun and the drumsticks ARE a great distraction. I like that they show modifications for every move. I found the 1-arm planks especially challenging with the tapping of the drumsticks to the side, front, etc. but then I haven't worked out in over a decade so that's to be expected. One day I will be able to do them and then I'll KNOW this workout has made a difference.I also liked that the gals leading the workout (sorry ladies..I don't recall your names) were having fun. They weren't too serious or over-scripted, just good friends having fun with their workout..no different than my friends and I were at the gym so I enjoyed their playfulness. One reviewer (who reviewed only one of the DVD's) commented that Instructors seem to think a lot of themselves. I TOTALLY disagree! I didn't get that impression at all! Like I said, clearly these two are friends, having fun and making money doing it! I say GOOD FOR THEM! Making money, making people feel good and having fun at the same time! What a great job!I'm happy I bought the set when I did because I see it's no longer available here. I paid a bit less here and didn't have to pay shipping. It's a bit more on their site..but the workout is fun and worth it! :)Next Day Pain Follow-up: While I'm a little bit sore..it's a good kind of sore. I know that I'll be able to do another POUND workout tomorrow. I believe this is due to the fact that I took time to do the cool down and added extra stretching on my own. It could have been much worse had I not done that. My adductors, hamstrings, glutes and yep! even my biceps have a bit of muscle soreness but not not so much that I can't go about day to day tasks.
