The digital Thrive90 workouts CAN be downloaded. They are in .mov format, which will play well on your computer, but this format cannot directly be burned to a DVD and then played back in a DVD player. So, you can download them to your computer (we recommend you do anyhow) and play them back anytime on your computer with no internet needed - but not on a DVD player. If you order the DVD set, you ALSO get full access to the digital version. So, you'll have access to all updates we make inside the membership site as well as all the bonus materials there...for life!

What you're facing is really very common - we often are in a different place in our fitness level and our ambitions that our spouse/significant other. I know you have the added complexity of a competitive fiance, but you are blessed to have someone who does want to share your active lifestyle. I would suggest that you two plan to run together only on the days when you want to run shorter, more recreational runs. On other days, you can workout separately and/or do something that she really enjoys (especially if it's something she can beat you at :) ). If you talk openly about it and get all the emotions out on the table, it should go a long way toward setting the right expectations and get your training time back to being enjoyable for both of you. I hope that helps, and let us know how that 20K goes! Dustin Hey Ramsey,

Its nice to hear about your great experience. My fiancee and I are planning on running a 20km race together in a few months and we have begun training. Its our first race, and 20km is further than I have ever run in my life. The training was going really well at first. We started off running 2km together, then got to 4km, then managed to do a 6 km run and finally got all the way up to 9km. It was at that point that my body started adjusting and improving, and my fiancees body started punishing her. This morning our goal was to make it 10km. I was pumped. She was dreading it. From the onset, she got a cramp in her side which put her in a really nasty mood. Let me add right here that she is extremely competitive. Anything I do, she wants to do. She is constantly judging herself against me. So the fact that I did not have side cramps jus upset her more. at about 4km she was really suffering, but wouldn't stop. Meanwhile, I was all happy and bouncing and was really looking forward to the next 6 km. I told her if she wanted to stop it was fine, but she would have none of it. I ended up forcing us to stop at 8.5km and told her that I had a cramp too (not true...). For me, running has become something that I look forward to. It dramatically reduces my anxiety during the day, increases my workload capacity while at work, and just puts me in a good mood. Today's experience just made me feel really guilty and bad, and then resentful that I couldn't do what I wanted to do because of her. On the flip side, she felt awful because I wasn't having a hard time like she was, and she started hating herself. What a disaster! The same thing happened 2 days ago when we were doing a short run (4km), but less exaggerated because it was a shorter distance. Really, everything had been going so well until these past 2 runs. I tried encouraging her afterwards, but she was just in a total funk. Anyone have an experience like this?? I had never been a runner in my life before starting this training, and I am really learning to love it. But I also love my fiancee and want this to be a joint experience. Any thoughts? Hi there.

I didn't have any corners in my garage to use as I only have one that could be used and there are cabinets there. There is no way I could do a muscle up on this bar due to the boards overhead. The only way that I could would have been to make the vertical pipe longer so that I would have room. Problem with this is that I don't like to bend my knees when doing my pull ups. Good luck getting yours together. It took me some time to figure out the best option for my setup. Cheers. The corner pull up bars are cool.

It was awesome to do it together, and it worked well to have the accountability and companionship! He lost weight and hit his goal weight in almost no time, but since I'm female and the weight comes off slower for most women, I did not reach my goal. For whatever reason, we fell off the bandwagon. I am thankful that we have kept off probably 80% of what we lost, but the motivation to get back on it is lacking mostly due to the boringness of the repetitive workouts, even though we know they work. I would love to do Zumba but can't due to lack of finances, and my husband is unlikely to be interested in a dance workout! A happy medium would be wonderful!

I can hear how important this is to you, and I am looking forward to getting our new community up and running so we can help you and so many others. It sounds like you are doing great and you've seen the benefits of being consistent. My wife did Weight Watchers for several years and, while she hasn't used it for a long time, it helped her understand portions and consistently eating smaller amounts of food - which is tough in our culture of HUGE food sizes! It does sound like your husband is experiencing a lot of health problems that could likely be corrected with a healthier lifestyle. I hope his doctor is advising him on what to do and that he takes it to heart. This is so important as you two prepare to welcome children into your marriage. Blessings to you, Teresa.
