Jennifer Galardi Sweating Sexy - Thoughts

Sweating Sexy is a 50-minute dance toning workout.  In the first part of the workout, Jennifer takes you through a standing toning workout that hits the upper body, abdominals, and legs.  The second part of the workout is the dance workout and it is where Jennifer gets you heart rate up by taking you through several run-throughs as she layers on the moves to create a mini dance combination.

The DVD menu offers the following options:
Introduction
Play All
Warm up
Using the Floor
Using the Upper Body
Ready to Dance!.
In the warm up, you are doing a series of dance isolation moves for the neck, abs, and hips found in most dance workouts.
Using the Floor is the segments where Jennifer focus on your legs, calves, and ankles. This segment is around 4 & 1/2 minutes. Using the Upper Body is around 10 & 1/2 minutes and the focus is on the core region (abs and obliques). This segment also contains a mini-dance routine. Jennifer states she is using it to get you ready for the main dance.

Ready to Dance! is around 18 minutes. During this segment, Jennifer teaches the dance by teaching a move in a slow count. She then has you do the move a tempo. She adds the move to the previous moves you did by having you run-through the add-on sequence three to four times before moving on. After Jennifer teaches all the moves, you get to perform the routine back to back several times.

The workout concludes with about a 6 minute cool down. To get to the cool down you need to have selected the Play All segment.

I really like this workout. This is a workout that I have had for awhile and after doing it, I wish I had done it sooner.

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. The time workouts are 20 min, 25 min, 30 min, 45 min The calorie workouts that are broken down by time are 20 min, 25 min, 30 min, 40 min, 45 min, and two 60 min

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
