Hoggirl Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 So, I have been doing this for awhile as part of my exercise regimen. I do Bum Bum and High & Tight (minus the floor work with bands, 'cause they roll up on me and it bugs me) three times per week. Should I increase my ankle weights on the floor work with ankle weights from the High & Tight??? I started with 1.5 lbs and am now using 2.5 lbs. Is there a benefit to increasing those? I want long and lean, not bulk. Thanks all you exercise experts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't like the band that comes with the DVDs, you might want to buy a different kind. Doing High & Tight with the band gives ah-mazing results!

I use the band for the standing work with bands. ;) I wouldn't do more reps 'cause I have to do exactly what Leandro says. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hen Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 ok, question from someone who is nosey and had to go google this... is this the video on amazon for about $23 by beachbody? What are the bands you are talking about? do you buy these separate, does he tell you what kind? The description says for this video all you need is a towel. I do see a more expensive set, but it doesn't look like it is available. I'd like a nicer butt for Christmas please...:auto: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hen Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 well, I went back and found the $65 set, but what if you only want the videos and band? Did you guys do the food guide and other stuff?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with trying another band or use ankle weights instead of the bands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you guys do the food guide and other stuff?? I think I paid $89 or so??? It came with the band but not the ankle weights. I bought those at Wal-mart. It also had the food guide. There isn't much too it. There really isn't other "stuff." It does come with several schedules, but you could figure that out yourself. I really like BBL. I wish that they would come out with a BBL 2! Seems like I had "heard" about an expansion pack at some point, but I have never seen it.

I agree with trying another band or use ankle weights instead of the bands. a band with more resistance? What color should follow yellow? On high and tight I use the yellow band for the first segment - the standing work with bands. I skip the second section which is floor work with bands, b/c the band rolls up. I tried doing this segment with ankle weights. Maybe I am wrong, but the exercises didn't seem to "do" much with ankle weights. They just don't seem conducive to working well with ankle weights. Then I do the last section (the floor work with ankle weights) with 2.5 lb ankle weights. So, it sounds like you think I should just get a band with greater resistance? Maybe I will try the middle section with weights again. Those clams - or whatever they are called - just don't seem like they work without the band, and I can't stand how it rolls up!!

You could try a different brand of band if you don't like the BB ones. Since you now have legs strong enough to crack coconuts, I would also go with a higher resistance band. :tongue_smilie: They roll up on me as well. Have you tried putting a little baby powder on them? I think it is just a consequence of using bands in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried putting a little baby powder on them? I think it is just a consequence of using bands in general. I think they are fine. I know there is also green and red. I just don't know which color is the next level up. I haven't tried the baby powder thing. You suggested it before. Honestly, that middle segment of floor work with bands is so short I wasn't too worried about skipping it. But, I should probably revisit it. I don't think I could crack coconuts! Anyway, even if I could I still have cellulite!!! Blah!!:tongue_smilie: I visited my friend in CA this summer and was bemoaning my cellulite. After I got out of the shower one morning I told her to come look at my legs to see what I was fussing about. She came in and looked at my legs and said, "I don't think that's cellulite; I think those are just wrinkles." :lol: Yeah. That was helpful! It's probably a combination of both.
