Dance Off The Inches Hip Hop Jam - Thoughts

Dance Off The Inches Hip Hop Jam is lead by Jennifer Gilardi.  The workout is approximately 43 minutes in length; and like other DOTI workouts it features a step guide which is about 22 minutes in length.

What is great about this Step Guide is that it is chaptered.  Yea!!! So you can quickly jump to the move you want to review. There are 10 steps that Jennifer breaks down.

There are three dances that Jennifer teaches in a layered pattern.  On average, Jen gives you 4 passes of each move that is taught before moving on.  Then she combines the moves and has you take it from the top until the whole dance combination is learned.

The DVD offers the following options:
Play - Plays all
Chapters - lets you select individual dances
Step Guide - Breakdown
Booty Blaster Workout - Bonus Workout

The chapters option further breaks down into:
Warm up
Cali Pop
Funk Groove
Street Style
Cool Down

I really like the Warm up.  Cali Pop was just okay. I thought the music for this dance blah.
Funk Groove was fun.  The most challenging was Street Style. Even on hardwood, I had trouble executing a couple of the moves.  The cool down was okay.  I did not do the Booty Blaster Bonus Workout.

All in all, not bad.

    Hi Wendy. Yes this is one of the workouts in the WalMart kit.
    It is a new workout. The other workout in the kit is the one that Collage has up on their ComingSoon page.
    Jen, now has 5 Hip Hop Dance workouts for Dance Off the Inches.

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
