Michelle Dozois Your Best Body Circuit - Thoughts

Your Best Body Circuit is the third workout in Michelle's Your Body Breakthru series. The other two are Rockin Body Cardio Jam and Slim, Strong, Sexy Body Sculpt.
This series is like a intro to Michelle's Peak Fit Challenge Series. There are a lot of similarities with perhaps the Peak Fit Challenge series being more refined.
This workout, Your Best Body Circuit (YBBC), would be like one of her Cardio Strength workouts, except she includes what I consider to be a true warm up in YBBC.
YBBC is about 58 minutes in length. The DVD does contain a 35 minute express option. Also you can select individual chapter points and make up your own/mix and match the sections. If you do the workout as designed, which is what I did, it breaks down as follows:
Warm up
Circuit 1 (Back & Biceps 1)
Circuit 2 (Chest & Triceps 1)
Circuit 3 (Back & Biceps 2)
Circuit 4 (Chest & Triceps 2)
Circuit 5 (Shoulders with Legs)
Circuit 6 (Legs)
Circuit 7 (Abdominals)
Cool Down.
Each circuit is preceded by a cardio set. The cardio is mostly athletic in nature. There is very little dance and some but not a lot of kickboxing.
The sculpting sets use dumbbells and a band. A blue band does come with the workout. Also each of the circuits contain different sculpting exercises. So where you see the Back & Biceps 1 and then Back & Biceps 2. 2 does not repeat what you did in 1. You are doing different exercises. This is the same for chest and triceps.
Now, within each circuit, you do repeat on the left what you did on the right.

The transitions between each circuit is a bit funky. There is a diagonal wipe that moves you from one circuit to the next. I mentioned this because you need to be ready to go because as soon as it happens Michelle moves right into the cardio.

There is a beginner modifier. The set is brown and the music is pretty good - upbeat. This helped me out because my energy this morning was not so great.

I like this workout.
4 stars
