Viveca Jensen Piloxing - Review

Piloxing is a 60-minute workout lead by Viveca Jensen.  It is  primarily a combination of Pilates exercises and boxing moves, but Viveca includes ballet and dance movement as well.

The workout is set to up tempo music and many of the moves are performed quite fast. When Viveca introduces a segment, she will teach it at a slower tempo and then after about the 4 reps, the moves are performed at tempo or double time.

You have rounds of boxing, followed by Pilates.  Dance breaks are dispersed throughout and the dance is typically used as an active recovery.

Boxing is your power segments and it includes moves such as  speed bags,  jabs, crosses, crossjacks, shuffle jacks, football runs,  hooks and uppercuts. Pilates and barre exercises include plies, arm pumps, leg lifts, tendu, leg taps, and knee pose.

The workout concludes with a floor segment where you are working the glutes, chest, and the abs.  This is followed by an ending stretch.

Expect lots of repetition,  and you are also using your balance quite a bit throughout the workout. Viveca uses 1 pound toning gloves.

Solid workout.
