Michelle Dozois Peak Fit Challenge Anywhere Anytime No Excuse Workout - Thoughts
Clocking in at about 42 minutes in length, is Anywhere Anytime, No Excuse Workout. This is the Peak Fit Challenge System's "Travel" Workout; and if you don't have a DVD player with you, Michelle includes a Take It With You guide of all the exercises she includes in the video.
My problem with this workout being a traveling workouts is that if you are staying anywhere where you have people below you, you are going to annoy the heck out of them because there is quite a bit of jumping in the workout.
So there workout starts with a 5 minute warm up.
Then there are two 5 minute Ascent levels that are done back to back.
This is followed by a series of "metabolic circuits" that consist of Base camp (level 1), Climb (Level 3) and Peak (Level 4).
Now in the Climb sections, the first portion is plyo/power work (i.e. jacks or squats), this is followed by leg endurance strength (lunge variations), and then you go down to the floor for some type of push up/plank core combination. Each Climb section follows this pattern.
In the Peak section, you are doing some type of jumping. In the Base camp section, you are shuffling side to side.
After the metabolic circuits, a 5 minute cool down follows.
During the Peak sections, Michelle takes the opportunity to give a shout to her cast members, sharing their successes and roles with the Peak Fit program.
This workout requires no weights or any type of equipment. I would say you might want to have a mat handy for the push up/plank core work but there is really no time to move it in and out of the workout space.
I like this workout. I actually felt I was training harder with this workout than with Pure Cardio. My heart rate monitor was going berserk on me during the Peak sections.
4 stars
I thought this one was more challenging than Pure Cardio too. More peaks since PC doesnt hit peak. great review!
