December 2010 Rotation


Wow, this year has flown by. I can't believe that December starts tomorrow. For December's rotation, about a 1/3 of the workouts will be my first outing with them. Although, I have had some of them for almost a year, if not longer.
The breakdown:
Sunday - Circuit of some sort (mostly FIRM new workouts).
Monday - Dance
Tuesday - Cardio Sculpt - The FIRM
Wednesday - Step
Thursday - FitPrime Originals
Friday - rest day
Saturday - Amy Bento cardio weight workouts.
On Sunday the 5th, I have three 20 minute workouts listed. They are all FIRM workouts: Power Sculpt, Core & Lower Body Toner, and Weighted Gloves Cardio Workout.
I might replace Wednesday the 29th workout with the FIRM Cardio Step Mix. I will see when I get there. Right now I have Cathe's Intensity listed. It will be one or the other.
It was my intention to take 2 rest days in December, but I decided to just go for one. Usually in December I like to take it easy and go with less intense or shorter workouts; and then hit it strong come the new year. However, this year I am taking a different approach. Along with putting in new workouts, I tried to include workouts that I haven't done in awhile.

    Rotation looks great, I haven't done the majority of the dvds listed apart from the four Tuesday Firm dvds. Curious to know what the new Firm dvds will be like and of course waiting patiently for the Cathe dvds to arrive. I have some of Amy Bento's newer workouts, they're great. Though I have to say I'm loving Cathe's Athletic Step, I've done it three times in the past 10 days or so, it's the ideal workout for after work when I'm tired and need to be energised.

    Susan, I almost added both Athletic Step and Step Moves into the rotation, but I decided to do Kelly's Step Boxing workouts instead.

    The three Amy Bento's that I have listed, I haven't done yet and I have had those workouts for awhile.

    It has probably been over a year since I have done any of the FIRM's I put in.

    I am spoiled. I live only about 2 hours from Cathe's gym, so my DVDs arrived Monday.

    I have actually done all the new Cathe workouts, but I want to do them a second time before reviewing them.
    Although, I probably won't do Lower Body Blast anytime soon but I do have High Reps and STS Total Body coming up the first week in January.

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

21 Day Fix Disc 1 - Review

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
