Autumn Calabrese 21 Day Fix Extreme Disc 2 - Review

21 Day Fix Extreme disc 2 contains the following workouts:

  • Cardio Fix Extreme
  • Dirty 30 Extreme
  • Yoga Fix Extreme
  • 10 Min Hardcore
Cardio Fix Extreme clocks in at 31:17.  There are four rounds and three exercises per round. Each exercise is performed for about a minute and the rest range from 8 to 18 seconds.  Weights are used for some of the exercises but that is mostly done to increase the intensity of the exercise. There is quite a bit of high impact in this workout. The warm-up is around 90 seconds and the cooldown is around 2 minutes.

Dirty 30 Extreme is a compound based total body weight workout. In this workout,  you perform two to three exercise per round for two sets.  There are three rounds plus a bonus round. Each exercise is performed for a minute with a 10-second break. The cooldown is just under two minutes and workout has a running time of 31:33.

In Yoga Extreme, Autumn takes you through a series of advanced postures and flowing sequences.   After a short breathing segment, you immediately move into a sun salutation sequence. This is followed by a series of postures that you hold for several seconds.    Within each posture, Autumn gives you options to modify the move to suit your level.  The workout concludes with savasana and meditation. This workout clocks in at 30:36.  Autumn does the whole workout. In the other workouts, after demonstrating the move, she would stop to coach and offer tips. 

10 Min Hardcore is an abdominal workout.  This workout uses a weight.  There are 8 exercises and each exercise is performed for a minute.  The rest are around 20 to 25 seconds. During the rest, Autumn sets up the next move.  

Something I forgot to mention on the other DVD is that before each workout starts. Autumn does a mini commercial for shakeology.

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.

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
