Kelly Coffey Meyer Shape Up - Review

30 Minute To Fitness Shape Up features Kelly going solo again.  Kelly deliver two tabata style workouts in which you work for 20 seconds and rest for 10 seconds.

Kelly alternates cardio exercises with weight exercises and you are doing each exercise for 8 rounds.

Depending on the exercise, the 20 seconds goes by quickly or seems to take forever.

Of course, I wished that Kelly included a countdown timer in the corner, but she doesn’t.  What she does do is provide voice cues within the music.  A guys voice comes on and says something to the following “round 5  in 4, 3, 2, 1”  So you knew when to go. I thought this a nice feature.

I also wish Kelly had include an inset (picture in picture) that demonstrated the next or upcoming move.  She did this for her 30 MTF Kickboxing workout.  As I was doing this workout, I felt this particular format could have used it.

Kelly uses a step but tells you, you don’t have to. She  also (as typical) has a set of light and heavy dumbbells. 

I did the 54 minute premix of the workout which combines workouts  1 and 2. Both workout use the same warm up but have different cool down.

Did doing 8 rounds of the exercise get repetitive?  Well not so much.  Kelly changes it up a bit in some of the exercise as you move from round to round to give you more variety.  The weight work is mostly upper body work, which was fine but she did not include an exercise for the biceps.  For the weight exercises,  working to the beat of the music, I got in around 11 to 12 reps per 20 second.

The music is good.  Fits the workout.

3 & ¾ stars.
