30 Minutes To Fitness  Cardio Pump is a Kelly Coffey Meyer Spring 2015 release.  Cardio Pump features two 30 minutes workouts. Workout one is a cardio boxing workout that clocks in at 30 minutes.  Kelly extended her cast for this.  Besides Kelly, there are seven cast members. I really like this one.  The music is upbeat and high tempo and full of energy that doesn't feel forced.  The combinations flowed really well together and felt seamless.   There is a kickboxing element to the workout, although I will say there is more boxing than kicking. Workout two is Pump.  It has the same cast as Workout One and it clocks in at just under 33 minutes.  This workout shares the same warm up as Workout one.  In Pump, Kelly takes your through each body part.  There are three exercises per body part and you do each exercise for one set for around a minute.  Workout Two is quite a bit slower in tempo and energy than Workou...

  Les Mills Pump and Burn clocks in at 33:21.  It features a variety of instructors that change in and out teaching a particular track.  There is one cast member that shows beginner modification moves. Pump and Burn is a sculpting weight workout that utilizes a principal they call the "Rep Effect".  Simply put, it means you are doing a ton of reps per track.  The workout is broken down into tracks.  Each track concentrates on a particular body parts or parts.  Mostly you are doing one exercise at various tempos for the length of the track. You are given a brief rest within the track. This usually occurs when you have just over a minute left.  However, between the tracks there is plenty of time to recover because the music stops and you are setting up for the next track.  The instructors also take this time to demonstrate and explain what is coming next.  This is also a time to stretch the muscles. The music is okay. I like s...

Cardio Pump Step is another workout that I have had for awhile and I am just now getting around to doing it. It is a 49 minute workout that features two step combos and a sculpting weight segment. The step portion includes a warm up and a cool down and the step combinations are classic Amy Bento - fun, athletic and full of energy. Amy does not have a break down for the combinations but I found them easy to pick. The step portion is about 22 minutes long. The second part of the workout is the sculpting section. This section uses an 8 inch step height, a weighted barbell, and dumbbells to sculpt the body. Amy works each muscle group except shoulders. For the legs, Amy does leg press, lunges, and dead lifts. Push ups work the chest. Barbell rows work the back. Curls, hammer curls and cross body curls work the biceps. Dips and french press work the triceps. There is plank work that works the core. I like this workout - especially the step section, but the sculpting section is pre...
