SHAPE Get Lean - Review

Image
Get Lean by Shape contains four individual workouts that all clock in at around 22 minutes or less. The instructor for this workout is Yumi Lee.  In each workout, Yumi demonstrates levels or progressions that show how to make the workout easier or harder. Each of the workouts features two modifiers. One modifier shows beginner moves. The other modifier is showing advance moves. Yumi is performing the intermediate moves. The DVD offers the following options: Program Intro - Yumi Lee Cardio Fat- Burning Total-Body Sculpting Metabolism Boost Abs Express Routine Interview Cardio Fat Burning clocks in at over 22 minutes.  Yumi leads you through a kickboxing combination followed by a cardio interval.

Kelly Coffey-Meyer Amped-Up Cardio - Thoughts

Amped-Up Cardio 30-Minutes To Fitness DVD contains the live workouts that Kelly filmed at her Fitness Conference she had this past spring. The DVD contains two 30 minute workouts that are similar in nature. Both workouts share the same warm up.  There is a mixture of boxing, athletic cardio , plyometric drills and floor based plank core moves The DVD offers the following options: Workout One Workout Two Premixes     Combined Workouts (56:05)     Combined Workouts - No Drills (43:41)     Workout One - No Drills (23:09)     Workout Two - No Drills (23:51)    All Drill (21:48) Credits I did the combine workout and it was challenging. Mostly because of the floor based drills that occurred right after doing the plyometric drills.  Most of the drills you are performing twice through.  Some of the drills are butt kickers, squat shuffle heel kicks. squat thrust (burpees) , and plank jacks. There is a modifier that you can follow if you want to do less impact. 3 & 3/4
