BeachBody Fire & Flow with Jericho McMatthews and Elise Joan - Thoughts

From the website:  FIRE AND FLOW alternates strength and cardio days with low-impact body-shaping recovery days to help you achieve the results you want, while helping you relax and reduce stress.

This program is offered through BeachBodyondemand.com.  The program comes with:

  1. Step-By-Step Guide
  2. Workout Calendar
  3. Fire and Flow 4-week journal
  4. Twenty-four 30-minute workouts.  12 of which are Fire workouts. 12 are Flow workouts.
  5. Eight 15-minute bonus workouts.  Four are Fire Bonuses and Four are Flow Bonuses.
  6. Quick Start Nutrition Guide
  7. How 2B Mindset works ....
  8. How Portion Fix works......
  9. How Gut Protocol works.....
The instructors are Jericho McMatthews and Elise Joan.  Jericho leads the Fire workouts and Elise leads the Flow workouts.  Jericho and Elise are not in each other workouts. There are four additional cast members and these cast members appear in all the workouts. One cast member shows advanced progression and there is a cast member that shows beginner modifications. The other two cast members show intermediate versions of the exercise.

I love the set. I think it is is the best Beach Body set to date. 
I have already done one week of workouts, and I will come back next week (for a midway check-in) to talked about the first two weeks of the program.

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 ...

Tony Horton P90X Plyometrics - Thoughts

Image
Plyometrics .  This means you are jumping. This means high impact. Although there were some none or low-impact exercises. The workout is about 59 minutes. The warm is about 9 minute and 30 seconds. Like the other P90X workouts that I have done, Plyometrics uses rounds as well. There are two rounds in which you are doing 4 exercises. The exercise are performed for either 30 or 60 seconds. After each round you get a water break. At the end of the workout, there is a bonus round that includes three exercises that were sports specific. The workout concludes with a 5 minute stretch and cool down. I am including a worksheet of the exercises. This is my least favorite of the P90X workouts that I have done thus far. Plyometrics just felt long.  Although I did think the soundtrack was very good and I burned a lot of calories. Equipment - towel, heart rate monitor 3 stars

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
