Someone on one of the fitness boards I go to found this on Carl Daikeler’s blog -
Hi, Carl:
1. What is the price of the “Basic” ChaLean Extreme workout package?
2. What is the price of the “Deluxe” workout package?
3. Will the additional add-on items that are part of the deluxe package be sold as individual items, as an option? For example, can I purchase the 7th workout DVD ONLY, but NOT purchase the 3 bands and weighted gloves that are also listed as part of the add-ons? I already own weighted gloves and resistance bands, so I don’t want to have to buy these items.
Please advise & reply. Thanks.

1) Retail price for the Base Kit is $119.85 + s/h
2) Retail for the ChaLEAN Extreme Deluxe is $209.70 + s/h
3) We are working on setting up the ability to get the Deluxe Workouts seperately through customer service and on the Team Beachbody site.
I have no idea what shipping and handling is going to be though. And even though Beachbody can be kind of iffy when it comes to web orders, I will wait until it’s for sale on their website. In case you weren’t aware, the Beachbody Coaches program is basically a multi-level marketing scheme. If you sign up for a coach, the coach you sign up with or the one randomly assigned to you makes commisions on each sale you make through them. The only requirement to be a coach is to sign up and pay a monthly fee for the opportunity. I think you aslo need to sell a certain dollar amount of product per month as well, but as someone pointed out, a coach could make that sales goal themselves if they bought the supplements by themselves. I still don’t quite understand why Beachbody went this route instead of just investing money in better operations, but oh well.

I got my new 8GB Nano Chromatic on Tuesday! Hurray! It’s pretty cool and it’s so freaking tiny! It’s about the size of 2 sticks of gum laid out next to each other. Really!
Part of my prize was that I also got to download I think all of the Cardio Coach workouts Coach Sean has created!!!! Wow!!! I had purchased several of them this past January, but this allowed me to complete my library! I am so happy about this! I can’t wait to hit the gym this weekend.
I really should take a picture of myself with my new gizmo, but I am so self conscious of my appearance, I am freaking out about it a little. I’ll see what I can do. I tried getting Rayne to model a little bit and she wasn’t too into it. I guess I need to catch her while she’s asleep.
I added a couple of comparison shots of the Nano to my other mp3 players. I also have an 80GB Zune, which pretty much rocks (however, the software does not), and a 2GB Zen Stone Plus. What really sets these 2 players apart from the iPods? Their prices and both of these devices have built in radios! Having a radio might not be that big of a deal to some people, but I do live in a state that gets hits by hurricanes every once in awhile and it’s nice to know that I have a couple of different radio sources available to me.
I’m just so excited about my Nano though. That thing is pretty stylin’. I just need to get a case for it though. I went to 3 stores yesterday and only Best Buy had some cases for the Nano 4G, but they weren’t the ones I was looking for. I guess I could have gone to one of the Apple stores, but I really hate going to the mall and the ones I know of are all located in malls.
I am also still thinking about getting a treadmill too. I mean, I have access to treadmills at the gym, but gong to the gym takes like 2 hours out of my day, whereas if I had a treadmill, I would obviously have no travel or locker room time – and that extra hour makes a big difference whenever I think about going to the gym. I have lots of thinking to do!

I’ve been dreading October for awhile since there is a huge event coming up this weekend that I am supposed to participate in. I am exhausted though. I am really hoping my boss lets us take off on Monday, since if we don’t, we’ll be working 12 days in a row – which sucks.
But, things are looking up. I picked up a copy of Iron Man last night. I wanted to get the 2 disc special edition, but Best Buy was sold out. Darnit! I think this is the first film to come out where I really wished I had a Blu-Ray DVD player. The movie still looks amazing on my TV though.
I was dreading going in to work today and in order to distract myself, I logged into Facebook. Lo and Behold! What do I see? A comment from the spectacular Sean O’Malley of Cardio Coach congratulating me on winning one of the new iPod nanos!!!! OMFG!!!!!! I won! I won the drawing he was having!!! It was just so random! It all just seems to be by chance too.
He just recently joined facebook and sent out invites to probably all of his previous customers to friend him. I did. I stayed up late one night and saw one of his calls for entry in a status message, so I commented. He asked us for a random number, I put my random number into the fray and got picked by having my name drawn out of a bag! Heehee!!!!
Now, that totally made my day. Heck, if I didn’t have so much work to do, I was going to declare the day a personal holiday and just jump around all day!
I am going to be getting a 8GB model, probably in blue and I can get an inscription on the back. I am still trying to figure out a quote to put on there. I am also going to get mp3′s of a lot of Cardio Coach workouts too!!! I think I have most of them, but not all, and well, heck yea! I am excited!
I might even pick me up one of those Nike+ gizmos! Oh man, and the accessories I can get now!
Wow, I feel so lucky today! Hurray! I am tired, but I am still waiting for iTunes to hurry up and finish going through my music library. Oh man. I am so excited!

I did my very first kettlebell workout tonight! It was awesome! I first learned about kettlebells a little over a year ago and had been wanting to try it out ever since. I did pick up a 15# kettlebell from Sport’s Authority a few months back, but I never quite knew what to do with it.
I had heard about these Iron Core Kettlebell workouts from the various video fitness boards I go to, but I believe they were only available at Target for awhile – which we don’t have in Hawaii – yet. I accidentally came across them at Amazon actually and they finally came in the mail today! Hurray!
Tonight, I did Kettlebells – the Iron Core Way volume 1 tonight and it kicked ass! The video starts off with a brief tutorial about some of the moves that are in the workout. This is actually really helpful since good form is very important when using a kettlebell.
Oh, what’s a kettlebell you say? Kettlebells basically look like a cannonball with a handle. According to Pavel’s website, they first appeared in Russian literature in the 1700′s! Kettlebell training is also starting to become popular in the US and I can totally understand why. It’s like the ultimate in aerobic weight training – plus functional fitness – all rolled into one package.
The workout starts after the brief tutorial and it’s about 45 minutes long. The workout is broken down into 3 circuits. I don’t have the breakdown of the exercises though, I am just not anal enough to write every move down.
Each section starts with a brief description of the exercise you will be doing, what parts of the body are targeted, some form pointers and you also get a demo of the exercise in the tutorial.
This is called the forward squat and it is killer. As you can see, you go deeper than a normal squat, so it really hits your butt.
This was done during the warm up and I am including this here more to give you an idea as to what the workout actually looks like. The move is called the halo and you can really, really feel it working your core when you do it.
The production values of this video are okay. It’s basically the instructor with 2 other people doing the moves. I kind of wished they showed more side views of the exercises, so you could get a better idea of what kind of form to use. I suppose I could also get really fancy and video myself working out, but I am totally not at that stage yet. 
There is a 30 second break after each exercise, which is cool because it does give you a chance to catch your breath. There are also 1 to 2 minute breaks between each circuit, which also gives you a chance to catch your breath and drink some water.
I really sweat during this workout! If you do decide to try kettlebells out, I would highly recommend getting a pair of wristbands. The padding really helped to protect my wrists and were quite handy to get rid of the sweat on my face too.
I really liked this workout. I can’t wait to try volume 2, but I don’t know if I will be able to for a couple of days. I can already feel my butt getting sore – which is a good thing!
