Cathe Intermediate Conditioning Extreme (ICE) Series

 
Every year Cathe comes out with new workouts. This year the workouts focus on the intermediate exerciser hence the name of the series - Intermediate Conditioning Extreme or ICE for short.
The series comes with seven workouts.There are:
Two lower body workouts:  To the Mat: Legs & Glutes, Chiseled Lower Body Blast
One upper body workout: Chiseled Upper Body
Two total body workouts:  Boot Camp Circuit, Metabolic Total Body
Two cardio conditioning workouts:  Low Impact Sweat, Rock'm Sock'm Kickbox

All the workouts have tons and I do mean tons of premixes.  The ICE series also include twelve bonus workouts.  The bonus workouts range any where from 10 minutes in the  length to 22 minutes in length.
There are two bonus core/ab workouts.
Five bonus workouts that are called blizzard blast. These are geared towards the advance exercisers.
There are also five body part workouts. Cathe calls these bonus workouts Muscle Meltdown.   Each of the muscle meltdown workouts focuses on a particular upper body muscle.

The series also comes with an online User Guide that you can download. The user guide is 70 pages.  It includes six rotations and it breaks down each workout detailing the exercises that are to be performed.

Unlike previous Cathe workouts, this series has a modifier that shows less intense version of the move Cathe is performing.

Each of the DVDs offer the following menu options:
Play
Chapters
Basic Premixes
Timesaver Premixes
MishMosh Premixes
Bonuses
Getting Started
Audio Settings

Also, all of the workouts come with subtitles that tells you the exercise you are performing.  I love it when Cathe includes this feature.

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.

21 Day Fix Disc 1 - Review

Image
Disc 1 of the 21 Day Fix Workout System features the following workouts: Total Body Cardio Fix Upper Fix Lower Fix Pilates Fix 10 Minute Fix For Abs Overall, all workouts follow a similar pattern which is a series of rounds containing two exercises each and you repeat the round before moving on.You perform each exercise for roughly a minute and you get a 15 to 20 second rest between the exercises. Also, like most Beachbody systems, each workout contains the countdown timer in the lower right corner.  These workouts also contain subtitles that tell you which exercises you are doing and it tells you for how long and/or how many reps.  Love this feature. Total Body Cardio Fix , Upper Fix , and Lower Fix contain the same warm up moves and cool down moves.  Roughly the warm up and cool down runs around 3 minutes per workout.  Also all three of these workout use weights.  Pilates Fix is made up of a series of exercises as oppose to rounds.  Depending on the exercise you will

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
