10 Minute Solution Ultimate Boot Camp - Thoughts


10 Minute Solution Ultimate Boot Camp features Jessica Smith as the lead.
The five 10 Minute workouts are:
Fat Fighting Skills & Drills
Ultimate Total Body Training
Ultimate Upper Body Training
Ultimate Lower Body Training
Six Pack Ab Attack

Fat Fighting Skills & Drills is an interval workout.that features high knees, skates, cone runs, ski hops, squat thrust (burpees) plank jacks, side shuffle touchdowns, trench crawls, jumping jacks. Jessica has you constantly moving in this workout.  Your recovery is jogging between drills.  Also there is lots of plank work in this workout.

 Ultimate Total Body Training uses a set of dumbbells and you also need a mat.  This workout contains several sets of compound exercises that work the lower and upper body at the same time.  For instance, squat into clean and press, static lunges with a one arm row.  Also Jessica put in a lot of power moves such as slam bag squat jumps, power squats, planks lunges and jumping jacks.
Ultimate Upper Body Training uses a set of dumbbells and an mat.  In this workout, Jessica hits every muscle of the upper body with mostly traditional and some functional exercises.  The lower body is used also with isometric holds while you are performing the upper body move.

Ultimate Lower Body Training uses just your body weight to work the lower body.   There is some single leg work and double leg work.  Side lunges, single leg squats, three count lunges, lunge power switch kicks are some of the exercises that appear.  You are constantly moving in this workout so there is a bit of  a cardio factor.
Six Pack Ab Attack uses a mat.  Jessica warms you up with a torso twist.  You then do a mud crawl followed by a crunch series.  Other exercises are alternating oblique taps, alternating side planks, plank holds, knee elbow crunch, and mountain climbers.


Most of the workouts are closer to 11 minutes than to 10 minutes. This  was not my favorite workout.
I really only liked the Ultimate Lower Body Workout.  The rest were just okay.

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.

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
