10 Minute Solution 5 Day Get Fit Mix - Review


Because of my less than desirable schedule of late, I have taken to doing a few 10 Minute Solution workouts in 10 minute intervals. I would do one 10 minute workout in the morning and one at night for two days straight. The fifth workout I moved to the weekend.
So the first 10 Minute Solution workout I did like this was 5 Day Get Fit Mix featuring Amy Bento.
Now I am a huge Amy Bento fan, although I haven't been a huge fan of her 10 Minute Solution workouts. With 5 day Get Fit Mix, I like this workout a little bit more than her other 10 Minute workouts.
The five areas in this workout are:
Cardio Kickboxing
Fat Blasting Intervals
Lean Body Sculpt
Belly Fat Burner
Power Yoga
I think Amy pack a lot in the 10 minute segments. I did a SHAPE 12 minute workout recently where I felt the time wasn't really used well. Not so in most of these segments.
3 of the segments I give 4 stars to: Fat Blasting Intervals, Lean Body Sculpt, and Belly Fat Burner. The Cardio Kickboxing and Power Yoga segments I give 3 stars.
All workouts were easy to follow except with the Power Yoga segment you will need to watch that one before you do it. A lot of the moves requires that your eyes are somewhere other than the television so it is hard to see what Amy is doing. Although she does repeat the sequence quite a few times, so after seeing it the first time, you can listen for her cuing. Towards the end of the Power Yoga set, Amy really picks up the pace, so you are moving through the moves very quickly.
With Fat Blasting Intervals, Lean Body Sculpt, and Belly Fat Burner, Amy uses dumbbells to increase the intensity.
3 1/2 stars out of 5

On the HSN website the treadmill is called Pro-Form Step Up Personal Trainer Treadmill. The price of this treadmill is $699.95 and the Shipping & Handling is free. I have had this treadmill since May. Assembly is required. It took me and another about an hour, maybe a little less to put it together. The instructions are fairly detail and everything went together as it should. I had the 2007 model of this treadmill, but I like the advertised upgrades so much I decided to get this one. Pre-Program Work outs The 2011 model comes with 16 Pre-program workouts. Of the 16, 4 are distance, 5 are timed, and 7 are calorie burned workouts. The distance workouts are 1 mile, 5K, 10K, and 1/2 Marathon.

21 Day Fix Disc 1 - Review

Image
Disc 1 of the 21 Day Fix Workout System features the following workouts: Total Body Cardio Fix Upper Fix Lower Fix Pilates Fix 10 Minute Fix For Abs Overall, all workouts follow a similar pattern which is a series of rounds containing two exercises each and you repeat the round before moving on.You perform each exercise for roughly a minute and you get a 15 to 20 second rest between the exercises. Also, like most Beachbody systems, each workout contains the countdown timer in the lower right corner.  These workouts also contain subtitles that tell you which exercises you are doing and it tells you for how long and/or how many reps.  Love this feature. Total Body Cardio Fix , Upper Fix , and Lower Fix contain the same warm up moves and cool down moves.  Roughly the warm up and cool down runs around 3 minutes per workout.  Also all three of these workout use weights.  Pilates Fix is made up of a series of exercises as oppose to rounds.  Depending on the exercise you will

Tony Horton P90X Legs & Back - Review

Image
This is my second week of P90X workouts and it starts with disc 5, Legs & Back . There are 22 exercises.  For every two leg exercises, there is one back exercise. So the pattern is - do two legs and then 1 back exercise. There are a variety of legs exercises but all the back exercises are pull up/chin up exercises. There is a cardio warm up followed by a stretch.  Then you move into the 22 exercises, each of which has a time associated with it. Sometimes you are doing as many reps as you can and at other times, Tony gives you an exact rep number he wants you to perform.  A stretch cool down concludes the workout. While I was sore after this workout and felt the challenge, I really didn't care for a lot of the exercises in this workout. The workout clocks in at around 59 minutes. Equipment used:  pull up bar,  bands, weights. 2 & 3/4 stars
