Re: DVD's for iPhone/iPod

I love using my iPhone for my workouts. Because you are using the video for your personal use, it should not be in violation of the user agreement to put the video in digital format to use on your iPod or iPhone. (Be smart and honest and don't share the digital file, make people buy their own and that way we can all continue to enjoy the best workout tool on the planet! You would only cheat yourself, keep buying the DVD's and it gives FA a reason to make more, KEEP EM COMING!) That being said I am a Mac user and I use Handbrake as mentioned above and put them in the format best viewed on my iPhone. I can have Force Training or All Body Xpress or my brand new Train Like the Pros (so excited for this one) on my iPhone and in my pocket for a workout anywhere and any day!!! I have them on my iPod and use that for my regular everyday workouts BECAUSE I use the Motorola S9 bluetooth wireless headphones and they have yet to get them working on the iPhone (which BLOWS my mind), but that way I have a "Coach In The Ear" as I work out solo...

My 12 Weeks

Grant — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 20:19:12 GMT

I started the FORCE program this last weekend. I've done the first two workouts and I am really looking forward to the next 46.

Between the beginning of the year and now I was a regular in the pool, avg 5000 yds/week, until about 2 weeks ago. Work got busy and I stopped swimming. Now things are calming down and I’m going to try to get back into a routine. Yesterday was Day 2 of the TRX FORCE 12 Week Training program. It seems to be a well written and thoughtout strength program. I have not started the running plan yet. Maybe tonight if I leave work at a decent time. In a perfect world I would do the running plan and swim on the "other cardio" days.

The hardest part of completing this workout is that I will be working out by myself in my basement. There is something to be said for going to the gym and having that place set aside for nothing but workouts. There are so many distractions at home. If anyone has any suggestions for avoiding the temptations that will draw me away from my workout, please let me know!

I will try to post updates on my progress and thoughts about the program as I work through it.

Until then. . . . .

Week 11: Strength Workout 1

Fitness Anywhere — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 01:05:00 GMT

Just when you think it couldn’t get any harder, think again. Week 11 and 12 are the hardest of the program! This is a build up program, with no off time or tapering, advancing each week. This week we jump to three sets of each exercise, reducing and sometimes eliminating completely the rest between sets. Transition times are reduced from 35 seconds to 30 seconds.

Strength Workout 1 will give you one of the best leg workouts of your life. With three sets of the 6 leg exercises in a row with no rest between sets and only 30 seconds of transition time, you will build athletic power, endurance and strength all at once.

Change up the first set of the Suspended Lunge by bringing the leg behind you into a Balance Lunge. This may make it easier for you to jump up after you reach back and load the leg, exploding as you come up.
