Step360 Fast Interval Training DVD - Thoughts

Step 360 Fast Interval Training DVD contains 6 workouts.
There workouts are:
Cardio Accelerator - 20 minutes
Turn Up The Burn - 20 minutes
Love Your Belly, Butt & Thighs - 20 minutes
Body Sculpt Blaster - 10 minutes
Speed Slimming Sculpt - 10 minutes
Tone Up in 10 - 10 minutes

Jessie is the trainer.  Along with Jessie, Madison Chase, Cat Chiarelli, and Teri Ann Krefting are the cast members.

In the 20 minute workouts, Jessie is instructing as the other three perform the various exercises.
In the 10 minute workouts, Jessie is performing the exercises along with only 2 of the ladies.
All the workouts have a beginner modifier and they all contain a warm up and cool down.

Jessie calls his Fast Interval Training technique Cardio and Strength Quickies in which you are doing 30 and 60 second burst.  So depending on the workout your are performing the exercise for either 60 or 30 seconds. There is no clock.  Jessie tells you when to start and when to stop.

My favorite workouts were Cardio Accelerator and Turn Up The Burn. I like the format of both of these workouts and the 20 minutes went by super quick.
Contrast that with Love your belly..... this 20 minute workout felt long.
The 10 minute workouts use the Sculpting Cord and those workouts were okay.
The workouts were challenging because of the the unstable platform.  Even when you are sitting or lying on the platform  you can feel the instability so you are working to correct your balance.

Cardio Accelerator - 3 & 3/4 stars
Turn Up the Burn - 3 & 3/4 stars
Love Your Belly - 3 stars
Body Sculpt Blaster - 3 & 1/2 stars
Speed Slimming Sculpt 3 & 1/2 stars
Tone Up in 10 - 3 & 1/4 stars

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
