i love "the stick thing" if you are referring to the 3-in-1 sculpting bar!
it came with 2 dvds. one of the dvds has 4 workouts on it, 10 minutes each--a lower body, an upper body, an abs, and a cardio workout. you can do one at a time or put them together in any order and do 40 minutes.
what i do is 10 minutes each evening. i rotate the workouts so i am not doing the same muscle groups back to back. so i do upper body one night, lower body the next, then abs, and so on. it's so easy to find time to do a 10-minute workout! and the toning really helped increase the amount of inches i've lost and the way my clothes fit.
i decided i needed a little extra on the abs day, and i also have the abs ball workout from jc, so on my abs night, i do the abs ball workout, then the sculpting bar abs workout after that.
hope this helps:)

it does help thank you! i was looking at that and the rope resistance thing. i got a pedometer and its helping me up my steps so far. i might go for the bar next!
