Fitness Favorites G-Force 2 - Thoughts

First off Fitness Favorites and FitPrime workouts are one-in-the-same. There was a name change mid-way through where FitPrime became Fitness Favorites.
G-Force 2 features Carol Miller as the lead and it is a 49 minute rebounder workout. Along with Carol, there are three additional cast members. Carol and cast workout barefoot. The workout is also shot in a "live" classroom format.

G-Force 2 breaks down as follows:
Warm up - approximately 5 minutes and it uses the rebounder.
Cardio Phase using the rebounder - about 35 minutes
Lower Body Sculpt section - about 7 minutes
Core and ending stretches - about 7 minutes

There is not a lot of upper body work unless you count the plyo handstands done off the frame of the rebounder. Carole does use a pair of weighted gloves through out the workout and that adds extra intensity in the cardio phase.

During the cardio phase, you are doing back to back sets (tunes) on the rebounder. The moves are simple. Some of the moves are sambas, turns, jacks, pendulums, alternating knees and alternating kicks. You are also doing a lot of bounce moves on the rebounder. This is actually the move I have the most problem with because it is hard for me to control the bounce to where I am not double bouncing. Double bouncing tends to get me out of sync with the choreography.

Carol is great. She cues well. The music is traditional old FIRM style music. Much of which, I like. The set is also traditional old FIRM style with the Greek Statues and the Columns.

There was something a bit funky going on with the cameras. At times the picture was very clear and precise and then when they switch to a different angle, the picture became dull, faded and almost out of focus. It was like they used two cameras to film and one camera was a better quality than the other.

I like this workout, but not as much as G-Force 1.

3 1/2 stars
