I mentioned this a few weeks back in a thread and said I would follow-up. Unfortunately, I cannot share my personal experience at this point as I am recovering from a herniated disc and only made it through the first couple weeks. ****Injury was NOT from Redcord but from doing work in our crawl space and old age****
What I can say is that after the first 2 workouts before my injury I can honestly say I worked muscles that I didn't know that I had. It was amazing and cannot wait to get better so I can start again.
More importantly, MUCH MORE importantly, DD1 is killing this workout! She is in week 4 and loves it! We (she right now) are simply following the program and exercises that Java put forth a few years back. The one thing that we added as the finishing exercise is Rick P's slam ball beater exercise. The one where you have a 8 pound slam ball in a sling (we wrap it in a towel) and beat it back and forth on a brick wall with your back to the wall. She does Redcord/slam ball 2 days a week on Mondays and Wednesdays.
I want to add that we purchased the Redcord LITE set which was only $99. I don't know that this set was available back when Java first posted it but we can do every exercise with it. It does not come with a sling but it does come with a door fix that we turned into a sling . You can use your imagination a bit to make up for the sling part pretty easily while saving money.
Anyway, I don't know the outcome yet but I can't imagine it won't be worth the small investment. I will post again down the road when she completes the 6-8 week program right before HS tryouts start.
