90 Days of 20-Minute Workouts
 
I have been into the Biggest Loser workouts, and find that even 20 minutes a day has been very effective. Since I usually waste 10 minutes out of the half hour I have in the morning getting dressed, shoes on, water etc. the twenty minute timeframe has been suiting me these days and helping me stay consistent. I am seeing progress even with these modest routines.

I was curious to see how many days I could go without repeating a workout, so I put together an uber-rotation of every single 20-minute workout I own. I favour circuit-type workouts, and these all qualify. I was surprised to do my first Denise today and see how very similar it was (if less ably cued) than the Biggest Loser workouts I have been doing!

Your mileage may vary depending on what workouts you yourself own, and of course I am not suggesting you go out and buy every single dvd on this list if you don't have it already (before you think I am crazy though, bear in mind that nearly all of these dvds have more than one program on them!) But it might be fun to make a list of every workout you have that fits within a certain criteria and see how many days YOU get without repeating...

PHASE 1: BIGGEST LOSER SERIES

Day 1: Power Walk 1 + Cooldown
Day 2: Last Chance Workout Sculpt + Tone
Day 3: Jump-Start Cardio 1 and Cardio 2
Day 4: Jump-Start Upper Body + Lower Body

Day 6: Vol 2 Cardio (Men) + Sculpt (Men)
Day 7: Rest
Day 8: Power Walk 2 + Cool-Down
Day 9: Vol 2 Cardio (Women) + Sculpt (Women)
Day 10: Weight Loss Yoga Level 1
Day 11: Boot Camp Level 1
Day 12: Boot Camp Warm-Up + Bootcamp Level 2

This is awesome, Joanna, and really reminds me of all the workouts I can use in a similar rotation -- thank you!!

bzar 01-18-11 01:32 PM

joanna, i love you.

thank you for this.

i've been doing something similar except it's been taking a 45 min workout and just doing half of it, = 20 minutes.

for a while, i was doing 30 minute workouts - i think there's already an existing list in this forum.

Joni O 01-18-11 09:19 PM

Wow - thanks for sharing, Joanna.

Update: This is the best rotation I have ever done. I've restarted it for the third time after an illness-related hiatus and every time I get going with it, it re-energizes me. I feel like I am losing weight, getting fitter and just enjoying myself a lot. I have some other workouts to add to my list; I can now go 132 days (6 workouts a week, one rest day) without repeating. Some workouts to add which are not already in the rotation as listed above:

Kathy Smith Timesaver 1 Lower
Kathy Smith Timesaver 2 Upper

Way to go, Joanna. I like this.

This is great...thanks for posting, Joanna!

Wow I am going to print this out

One to add: I just got Chris Freytag's 10 Pound Slimdown from Amazon. I know that there were complaints about the sound quality and ability to program the DVD, but mine is fine. I did the lower body workout and I thought it was pretty good! I think there are 5 20 minute workouts on it. :)

KellyMarie65 04-04-11 02:38 PM

I'll have to check some of these out, great list :)
