June 2011 Monthly Rotation





Well earlier this month, I got in the Michelle Dozois's Peak Fit Challenge system. So I stopped my 6 week rotation in favor of doing those workouts. When I do the workouts again, I will review them individually for the blog. Overall, I like the workouts. I just did not care for that band thing that came with them.



So I am starting this month with a new rotation that consist of kickboxing for cardio and total body sculpting workouts.

The Breakdown:

Sunday - Kickboxing (Cathe & CIA)

Monday - Cathe Total Body Sculpting

Tuesday - Ilaria Kickboxing

Wednesday - Kelly Coffey Meyer Total Body Sculpting

Thursday - Kickboxing (Kelly, Janis, & Tracey)

Friday - Cathe Lower Body Sculpting

Saturday - Rest

    Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the Peak Fit system and how you found all the workouts. Great rotation for June, I'm doing a mix of STS and Asylum Insanity.

    Susan,
    Oh wow Asylum Insanity. I hope you had fun with that. Do you have the regular Insanity as well?
    I actually had some of the STS workouts scheuled for May. I did one week of that and switch to Peak Fit when it came in the mail.

    HI Saundra,

    I did have the original Asylum but I ended up trading it last year, I found it too hard. I think Asylum Insanity workouts are easier or maybe I'm fitter now from doing Cathe workouts. I definitely think Cathe's HIIT dvd helped with my fitness. Asylum really is fun, I like working with the ladder and the stretch/relief dvd on it really is fabulous, I feel wonderful after it. The workouts are all doable but the time flies by. It was definitely a good investment. It has even made me buy P90x, will let you know how I find that.

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
