Michelle Dozois One on One with Michelle Be Empowered Disc 2 - Thoughts

Be Empowered is disc 2 of Michelle's One on One with Michelle series.
It contains the following workouts:
Total Body Workout (30 min)
Core Challenge Workout (19 min)
Mobility Workout (10 min)

Total Body Workout is a strength workout that combines upper body and lower body exercises.
Michelle's takes you through a series of four circuits. Each exercise is perform for two sets.  There are three to four exercises per circuit. There is not much down time in this workout as Michelle moves from exercise to exercise at a steady pace.
Two sets of dumbbells, a light set and a heavy set, as well as a single heavier dumbbell are used in this workout.

Core Challenge Workout is a 360 degree core workout in that it works all areas of the core region to include back, hips, lower abs, and obliques. Some of the exercises in this workout included a beast hover, several series of planks in a variety of position, reverse crunches and traditional crunches.  Michelle also includes supermans and hip circles. I found this workout very challenging.

Mobility Workout is a workout that contain both dynamic and static stretching with some range of motion type exercises. Although there was no real flow, Michelle does move from one exercise to another often going in and out a particular stretch for around four reps before she moves on. Michelle tells you that you can do the mobility workout before or after any of your other workouts.
