Michael Olajide Jr Aero Power Round 1 - Review
As you complete a round, a 10 second countdown appears on the screens and counts down the last remaining seconds. The workout then fades out and a graphic reappears introducing the next round - telling you what you are going to do and what equipment that you need for that round. Before the next segment starts, another countdown (this time 3 seconds) appears to cue you to start performing.
The workout alternates jump rope segments with sculpt segments. Throughout the segments Michael alters the tempo by slowing the move down and speeding the move up. All the sculpt segments use light weights except for the triceps dip. Expect lots of reps. The segments require a lot of endurance. I was definitely feeling the work in my shoulders and I was using one pound weights. The jump and sculpt segments are between 2 and 2 & 1/2 minutes.

The workout is narrated by Michael and captions appear throughout the workout that repeat what Michael has just stated. Along with Michael, there are two cast members. Michael is the only one in the warm up and cool down.
The set has a boxing ring. Michael and cast are performing in front of the ring. The music is good and much of the jump rope and sculpt segments are performed to the tempo of the music.
I really enjoyed this. I thought the jump rope segments were going to be cumbersome to do because the ceiling in my basement is not very high but I managed.
I am already looking forward to then next round.
