Be Moved is the third disc in Michelle Dozois's One on One with Michelle series. This DVD consist of two workouts: Cardio Strength Cardio Burn These two workouts are reminiscent of Michelle's Peak 10/Challenge system. Cardio Strength clocks in at 36 minutes, 30-minute workout plus a 5 minute cool down. In this workout, Michelle takes you through three blocks. In each block you have a base/recovery period, an ascent, a climb and a peak. The ascent period is your sculpting series. The climb is your cardio and then peak is your burst. After the burst you moved into recovery and start the next block. Like her other Cardio Strength workouts, this workout does not feature a traditional warm up. Michelle uses the first block in the workout to do the workout.  Oh and each block features two rounds. So you are repeating the moves twice. Second time through, Michelle changes the lead side. Cardio Strength uses the same cool down as cardio burn. Cardio Burn clocks in at 26...

Cardio Strength Studio V.2 is a download streaming workout that is a part of Michelle Dozois's Peak 10 Fit Body Challenge program. 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 t...

Cardio Strength Studio V1 is one of the workouts included in the Peak 10 Fit Body Challenge system.  This workout clocks in at under 57 minutes and for the most part it follows a similar pattern as Michelle's other cardio strength workouts. I say for the most part because I did not think this workout had much of a base camp. The base camp in previous CS workouts contain recovery moves to bring the heart rate down before you ramped up again. In this workout, base camp was mostly Michelle and her team high fiving each other after completely the peak.  Then she jumps right into the ascent of the next block. This workout definitely does feature the ascent, climb and peak segments. The ascent is used as your strength segment and all of the ascents use either light or heavy set of dumbbells. The climb is your cardio in which you are jumping, hopping, and/or running.  The cardio segments contain dance, aerobic and kickboxing moves.  The peak is your high-intensity i...

Cardio Strength Fat Blaster is the 5th iteration of Cardio Strength in Michelle's Peak 10 workout system. Although, Michelle does have couple of extra Cardio Strength workouts that she never release to DVD. You can find those on FitnessGlo.com. Cardio Strength Fat Blaster uses the same format the other Cardio Strength workouts. There are 5 blocks. The first block is the warm up block and does not contain a Peak Interval.  However the warm up block does use weights.  The other four blocks includes all four interval points; Base camp, Ascent, Climb and Peak. The Ascent segments  use weight. You will need two sets, a heavy and a light pair.  Most of the Ascent segments you are going to the floor for a plank/core move. The Climb is your cardio segment (no weights). The Peak segments are the high intensity high impact segments. There is a modifier that is showing less intense options.  Base camp is your recovery-rest period. If you do the full workout, it c...
