Michelle Dozois Cardio Strength Studio V.2 - Thoughts
CS-Studio V2 contains 5 blocks that feature strength and cardio segments.
You repeat all blocks two times through. During the second run time, you change your lead side. Within each block your move through your base camp, ascent, climb, and peak. There are bell sounds that signal when you are about to move to the next phase.
Block 1 is your warm up and it contains an ascent and climb. This block does contain floor work and it uses light weights. There is no peak.
Block 2 uses heavy weights. There is no floor work and the peak move is air jacks. I really enjoyed the climb in this block. It had some fun dance athletic moves that worked well with the music.
Block 3 is your light weights block. It does contain floor work in the ascent segment. Your peak move is the power hamstring.
Block 4 uses heavy weights. It has floor work in the ascent segment and your peak move it the power lunge jump.
In block 5 the light weights return. There is floor work. The floor work starts at the end of the ascent segment and goes into the beginning of the climb segment. The peak move in Block 5 is the football move.
The workout concludes with a 5 minutes cool down/stretch.
The workout follows the same pattern as the other CS workout but for some reason, I felt out of sync for most this workout. This workout does have a five-minute movement breakdown and I think I could have benefited from doing this segment beforehand.
The workout does have a modifier. Two sets of dumbbells are required. Michelle calls them your light and heavy weights.
3 & 1/2 stars
