Grace Lazenby Rockin Models - Thoughts

Well I kind of felt that Rockin Models was all over the place. It seems like there was a lot of stuff put into this workout starting with the equipment list:
Body Bar or chair
Yoga Mat
Exercise Ball
towel
a hat
The workout combines yoga, ballet and the burlesque style of dancing and it is around 70 minutes long.

At the beginning of the DVD, you can select Play All or Chapters. If you select chapters, you get the following options:
Interview
Artists
Workout
Rockin Models

The Interview segment is an interview with Grace Lazenby. She introduces and talks about her concept for Rockin Model.

The Artists section showcases a music video from each of the artist whose music appear in the workout.   

The workout section is further broken down into the following tracks:
FireFly - Warm up
How the Day Sounds - Yoga
Ghost Town - Yoga
Evil - Standing Ballet Burlesque
Your Melody - Yoga
Honestly - Yoga
Take me Home - Standing Ballet Barre
Comes and Goes - Core
Off I Go - Core
Someday - Core
Our Time - Gluteals
Along for the Ride - Outer Thigh
Into the Sunset - Outer Thigh
Gravity - Inner Thigh
Evil - Inner Thigh
High and Low - Cool Down

Now while I thought the workout to be all over the place, overall I quite lot many of the segments - mostly the vibe of the sections.  The yoga segments were my least favorite.  The dance burlesque were my favorites.  I did not like the transitions between the different segments.  The camera would go out and show something scenic and then come back and the cast was all ready to go for the next segment. I felt like I was scrambling to get in place at the beginning of a lot of the segments.

There is a lot of beautiful imagery throughout the workout.  Several times during the workout, the screen split into two and shows scenic images on one half and the other half showed the ladies working out.  Most of the music has vocals.  I liked a lot of the songs.

The Rockin Model chapter is just a static page that introduces the models in the workout with Grace.  There are four of them.  During the workout, there is someone that shows modifications.

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.

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
