Credits

I did the 3 Mile Flat Abs Power Walk which was mostly a steady state walk.  Mile 1 of this workout was basic walking. Mile 2 feature boxing moves and in Mile 3, Jessica builds mini combos.  This portion of the workout clocked in at around 46:25. There has been a lot of talking about this workout skipping and freezing and where it took place for me was in Mile 2 of the 3 mile walk. It didn't happen at any other time.
I just went with it because I had already had the workout schedule and what I found was that the workout would freeze briefly and you were ahead in the rep count, when it froze again you were back in sync with Jessica.
Jessica is sending out replacement DVDs.

I did Day 3 Belly Fat Blast Interval Walk premix which included the warm up, 2 mile walk and cool down. In the first mile of this workout you were steady state for 3 minutes and then you pushed for 2 minutes. In mile 2, Jessica reverses this and you are steady state for 2 minutes and you pushed for 3 minutes.

I also did the Belly Blasting Strength Training as an add on to the Boost Metabolism + Muscle Total Body Circuit.  This workout is taught in the circuit format similar to the Boost Metabolism workout.  A chair, mat, and weights are used in this segment.

Throughout all the workouts, information would scroll across the screen that gave you different tips about Belly Fat. I enjoyed all of these except I felt the bottom of tip would roll off the screen before I could read the last line.

3 mile walk - 3 & 3/4 stars
2 mile walk - 4 stars
Strength Training Circuit - 3 & 1/2 stars

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.

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
