Hip Hop Abs …

Well once again to try and get the full experience of Beach body workouts I decided to give Hip Hop Abs a go.
My original thoughts were that I would not like it and it would be a waste of time, because I’m not into hip hop.
To my surprise the workout actually wasn’t bad. I worked up a good sweat, though don’t know if I was doing everything exactly right, but Shaun and his gang looked like hey were enjoying the workout and working up a good sweat.
Actually that’s one of things that seems to make the workouts I’ve done go by easily, is if everyone working out seems to have a good time doing it.

I know this workout won’t be for everyone, and unless you like to do a “cardio” type workout like Turbo-Jam you may not like this, but if you enjoy doing a workout to music and like working with folks on the video that look like they’re having fun and not just going through the moves this is a work out to consider.

Till the next review

P90X – Kenpo X

Today I decided to try a different workout since I want to have an idea of all the “flavors” BeachBody has to offer and decided to try the P90X Kenpo-X.
Now there a couple of reasons for this workout instead of starting at the beginning of the series. Just a note this is not my primary workout and it’s the first of this series that I tried. The reason for choosing this one is because I was involved in martial arts for many years and Kenpo was the first style that I studied.

I don’t know if this is a common practice with all of Tony Horton workouts, but once again the warmup starts with a bunch of yoga moves that if you’re not familiar with or they’re not covered on some other workout you will be lost for a bit.
The workout itself wasn’t bad, though it was long and if you want to try and “squeeze” this workout in you need to leave yourself a solid hour. It did get the heart pumping and wasn’t trying to “teach” you to be a martial artist, which is a good thing, and hopefully no one will do this workout and think they can go out and defend themselves by watching this.
If you have the time though, you will work up a sweat and get a good workout and is definatley worth doing. As for if I’d personally do this workout again, I’m not sure because of time constraints but would consider it.

Have fun and keep up the good fight

Power90 Sculpt Circuit 1-2

Todays review is of Power90 Sculpt Circuit 1-2.
This workout was my second in the Power90 series and easier to follow along. Things were slowed down since no cardio is in this one, and understanding what was going to be done was made a bit clearer before each move.
It was a good workout with a good stretch for the warm-up and cool down, and still at times got the heart rate up and good explanations for all the moves. You have the option of using dumb bells or bands for resistance depending on how hard you want to work. Only thing that kinda threw me off a bit was the tricep dips using a chair. Though he did mention about using a chair at the beginning I thought it was more for a “Balance” thing and didn’t expect him to be using like that later in the workout, but will be ready next time.
This was a good change of pace after doing more of a faster pace workout over the last couple of days.

Overall I enjoyed the workout and am looking forward to working it again.

Till next time
