January 2011 Monthly Rotation



January 2011 Monthly Rotation will feature a morning rotation and an afternoon rotation.
Morning rotation:
Sunday - Tracie Long Longevity workouts
Monday - Amy Bento Hi Lo workouts
Tuesday - Cathe sculpting emphasis strength
Wednesday - Amy Bento Step
Thursday - Cathe sculpting emphasis endurance
Friday - Amy Bento Kickboxing
Saturday - Rest



Evening rotation:
Sunday - Tracie Long Focus Workouts
Monday - FIRM Express Cardio Sculpt
Tuesday - Cardio Coach Treadmill
Wednesday - FIRM Express Cardio
Thursday - Victoria Johnson Dance Workouts
Friday - FIRM Express Sculpt
Saturday - Rest

I know it looks like a lot but the longest evening workout is 45 minutes and that is one of the cardio coach workouts. All the FIRM workouts are 20 minutes and the dance and Focus workouts are 30 minutes each. I will be doing some form of sculpting back to back but much of the sculpting in the FIRM workouts are paired with cardio burst.
In looking ahead, I think my most challenging day of workouts will come Sunday January 16 with Step Forward and Power Up. If I remember right , these two workouts require a lot of thigh endurance.

I have actually had the morning part of this rotation planned for quite some time and I am really looking forward to the rotation.

    Rotation looks great for January, you'll be busy with the two workouts a day. What are your thoughts on the Firm Express? How easy are they in comparison to Cathe's workouts? Do you find them effective? I'm going to finish STS 3 in January and work on my abs and flexibility the other two days. Hope you have a wonderful 2011!

The Pro-Form 600 LT Treadmill - Thoughts

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
