CherFitness A New Attittude Step Class - Thoughts

CherFitness A New Attitude: Step Class.  This is one of the very first video workouts that I ever own.  The video is some 24 years old and it features three workouts;  a 38 minute Step Class, a 10 minute Ab workout and a 32 minute Lower Body Workout. I only did the Step Class this time around.
The Step Class features a rockin soundtrack. I have done a lot of video workouts over the last 24 years and I say that this still has one of the best soundtracks in a workout video.

I am sure it helps that Cher is in the music business.

So this work is a CherFitness workouts where Cher shares her workout routine.  Cher doesn't lead the class. The class is lead by Fitness Instructor Keli Roberts.  Keli has since been featured in many many workouts.

Basic step class. If you don't like a lot of complex choreography this is the workout for you. If you do like complex moves, I would stay away from this workout.
There are two warm ups. The first warm up is off the step, the second warm up introduces the step. Then Keli slowly starts introducing more movements within the step pattern adding direction changes. As Keli moves through the workout she adds power moves with some propulsion for adding intensity.
Along with Cher and Keli, there are 5 other cast members. Various cast members shows various levels. There is a cast member working out with hand weights. There is one cast member who does not do arm movements at all (she keeps her hands on her hips). There is one cast member who doesn't use a step.
Cher offers tips throughout the workout in the form of voice over narration.
It had been quite some time since I had done this workout and I still enjoyed it after all these years.
I am surprised that Cher has never release this workout on DVD.

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
