Jari Love Get Extremely Ripped! Body Rock - Thoughts

Jari's Love Get Extremely Ripped! Body Rock is about 72 minutes in length and it contains the following sections:
Introductions
Complete Workout
High/Low Workout
Dance Workout
Weight & Abs
Ripped Tips

If you do the complete workout, there is a warm up, followed by the aerobics sections where you alternate dance with high/low aerobics. Then comes the Weights and Abs section followed by a cool down.
Jari leads the warm up by herself. The aerobics sections features three minute dance sections and two minute high/low sections. The dance and high/low sections each have their own cast.
Aerobic segments
Salsa - Dance
Alternating Knee and Heel - High/low
Latin - Dance
Jacks - High/low
Jazz - Dance
Guitar Knee - High/low
Disco - Dance
Heel Kicks - High/low
Funky -Dance
Knees up - High/low
Hip Hop - Dance
Heel up - Cool down for the Aerobic Sections

Weights & Abs - This section features lots of reps using light weight.
Squats & Hamstrings (Dead lifts)
Chest & Triceps
Back & Wide Squats
Biceps & Shoulders
Abs
Cool Down for the Weight sections

I like the aerobic segments (both the dance and high/low) better than the weight segments. And, while you are doing moves over and over, I didn't feel they were terribly repetitive. I might have had a little bit of this feeling (repetitiveness) with the High/low portion. Jari does show different variations during this portion of the workout.
The sculpting portion is decent as well - just lots of reps. There is a 30 second clock as the different segments come to an end.
Jari leads the high/low and weight segments. Angie (a professional dancer) leads the dance portion.

The music is good. It has a bit of a high energy beat to it. The set is well lit but dark. There are shadow reflections throughout. Along with weights, a mat is also used.

The Pro-Form 600 LT Treadmill - Thoughts

Image
The Pro-Form 600 LT Treadmill is HSN and Pro-Form 2011 model treadmill. Each year HSN brings out a new Pro-Form model to sale. 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. The time workouts are 20 min, 25 min, 30 min, 45 min The calorie workouts that are broken down by time are 20 min, 25 min, 30 min, 40 min, 45 min, and two 60 min ...

Tony Horton P90X Plyometrics - Thoughts

Image
Plyometrics .  This means you are jumping. This means high impact. Although there were some none or low-impact exercises. The workout is about 59 minutes. The warm is about 9 minute and 30 seconds. Like the other P90X workouts that I have done, Plyometrics uses rounds as well. There are two rounds in which you are doing 4 exercises. The exercise are performed for either 30 or 60 seconds. After each round you get a water break. At the end of the workout, there is a bonus round that includes three exercises that were sports specific. The workout concludes with a 5 minute stretch and cool down. I am including a worksheet of the exercises. This is my least favorite of the P90X workouts that I have done thus far. Plyometrics just felt long.  Although I did think the soundtrack was very good and I burned a lot of calories. Equipment - towel, heart rate monitor 3 stars

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
