Amy Dixon Give Me 10! - Thoughts
Fat Blasting Cardio was probably my favorite of the bunch. It contains two cardio series that feature basic athletic moves set to fast tempo high energy music. You do each series twice through changing the lead side the second time through.
The second 10 minutes is dedicated to Upper Body Sculpt. Amy does throw in some lower body isolation moves with some of the upper body moves. The exercises are:
1. Bicep Curl with Plie hold
2. Triceps dip into table top
3. Cobra
4. Lateral raise with rotation
5. Single Arm Shoulder Press
6. Plank with front raise
7. Push ups
Workout 3 is Lower Body Firmer and this was a favorite workout as well. Exercises in this segment include:
1. Standing Squat Hip Thrust
2. Lunge Series
3. Reverse Lunge Series
4. Wide Dead Lifts
5. Single Leg Squat
6. Plie Series
Core Makeover featured core chops, windmills, rock-n-roll planks, side planks, reverse crunch.
Bonus Kettle Bell ToneUp starts out as a somewhat fast pace kettlebell workout that includes swings, squats, twist, chops, squat-rack-press, single arm squat press and halo. Many of the exercises were compound or multi-component moves. One of the cast members demonstrates the moves using a dumbbell.
The last workout is Yoga Stretch & Flex. In Yoga Stretch & Flex, Amy uses a series of yoga moves to stretch the body. Cobra, downward dog, cat/cow, pigeon, quad stretch, and warrior are some of the moves that appear in the workout.
Dumbbells are used in the Upper Body Sculpt and Lower Body Firmer workouts. A mat is used in the Yoga Stretch & Flex workout. Each workout does feature a modifier.
