Dream Body = Studio Mixx???
Someone mentioned this in a DB group on FB. Someone mentioned Shandi Rooney, some photos of her with Darby and the similarity of the workouts:
http://www.studiomixxaz.com/ http://youtu.be/SHNeySt5Ryo ETA: is anyone in Scottsdale? Might be worth checking out. And here, you can download the workout for $15: http://www.studiomixxaz.com/Mixx-Video.html |
The moves are the same, but slower! I'd love to try it, but have issues with downloads at the moment. Maybe someday. Cool!
|
Thanks for posting. I might go for this. Thank goodness someone out there is offering a download versus that darn streaming/subscription model.
|
How long is this workout? there are no info anywhere.

I bought the Dreambody set from the sale, and am expecting it this week, but I was thinking...we are going on vacation in June and this download would be perfect to take along since my laptop goes where I go. I wonder what kind of equipment needs there are? |
Here's a longer promo clip:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmJrVQttJxM They have a FB page. Someone asked about the video, but she really didn't respond to the question. |
I bought it. It is 50 minutes barre/pilates workout. She uses sliding plates and light weights.

this is interesting...

For those who've purchased the download, would you rate it as inter., inter./adv., or advanced? Also, how does it compare it terms of level of intensity/difficulty to Dream Body? Thanks!
|
I checked my Dreambody set tracking this morning and they routed it through Austin last night (why?) so if I'm lucky it will be here tomorrow. So I was thinking about buying this download to give me something Dreambody-ish to do today. I would like to see more details on the workout first (to me, $15 is a lot for a download). Is there a warm up? Stretching? Does it include more exercises than just those you see on the promo? It says there are 8 segments to the workout. What does that mean? TIA
|
Yes, there a stretch, a little bit warm up, very similar to the original Dream Body, Barre/Cardio(using plates)/abs/core. It is an intermediate workout.
|
I may, or may not have just caved myself :o

details/specifics: it's 30 minutes, music is almost non-existent equipment needed: 1-2lb. weights, gliding discs, barre or chair Start with a quick warm up: down dog (further known as DD) alternating leg pulses/heel pumps DD to push ups push ups DD leg lifts plank leg pulses (pulling leg to chest & back) mountain climbers side plank - grab weight and in free arm hold weight up and bring straight out to the side; then add leg lifts (WOW) all fours - squat back, press to a full push up (similar to a move in the original DB DVD) switch sides and repeat all moves forearm plank to straight arm planks little strech Section 2 - barre/chair wide leg plie pulses in releve pulse legs back when in wide plie one leg releve wide leg plies, arms straight up wide leg releve pulses holding barre (tuck) other leg releve wide leg plies, arms up alternating releve/flat pulses in wide (sumo squat) pulses (a la P57) side to the barre, hold on, leg lifts straight in front weight in hand on same side, lower arms to meet leg lifting, pulse that move; hold that move and do small leg circles switch sides Section 3 - cardio - uses gliding discs mountain climbers using discs (30 sec) rest - shuffle side to side slowly repeat mountain climbers (20 sec) rest - shuffle mountain climbers (10 sec) shuffle grab weights same move as in Bikini Bootcamp one leg static, other behind you, hold weights - bring leg from behind to chest, lowering arms to meet in front gliders mountain climbers intervals again (30 sec; 20 sec; 10 sec) as before repeat bikini bootcamp move on other side mountain climber series again (30 sec, 20 sec, 10 sec) Section 4 - blutes on all fours put left leg straight to side bring leg from the side to behind the bent knee (very similar to the original DB move) keep leg straight to side - pulse, then circle in each direction side plank (knee down), other leg straight out, arm on head - lift and lower leg; circle leg on back (bridge work) one leg on releve, as you lift, other leg is straight out and lift toward head; then pulse the leg stretch repeat on other side stretch Section 5 - Inner Thighs sit down, one leg bent, other straight out grab weights lean back (slight c-curve), hold arms straight out to side, bring arms in toward body and lift straight leg, repeat pulse arms & legs hold arms straight out and circle straight leg in both directions shake thighs out, stretch repeat other leg Section 6 - Abs/core flat on back - legs straight in air, arms behind head pull legs to chest, lift head to meet leg straight out, other leg straight up - bring head to leg straight in air, lift and lower other leg repeat both moves with other leg bent arm plank holds bent arm plank, lift leg out to the side and bend it bringing to your arms repeat other leg (works obliques) child pose DD to push up to side plank - alternating sides DD child pose DD stretch My overall impression - this is definitely DB "lite" the moves are much slower, more deliberate. Definite similarities, I think for those that think DB is too frantic would really enjoy this. I think this is a great place to start. She does a lot of explaining - what each section is accomplishing and the actual breakdown of moves. The actual number of reps is much lower than DB. I liked it and really like the 30 minute length - it will definitely come in handy. HTH |

But is it 50 minutes or 30 minutes? TIA |
Thanks for the breakdown! Yes, 30 minutes or 50 minutes might make or break the decision at $15.

And thanks for the review Sue. $15 might seem like a lot for download but compared to the cost of the DB set it's a relative bargain. |
This looks interesting but I would burn to dvd, do you guys have any reccomendation for a free burning software ? I would like to burn to dvd also some mp4 I downloaded from you tube.
By the way, any update from Darcy about the new dvds ? I wrote her but no answer yet ! TIA :sun: |

Someone asked them on Facebook if they'd be putting out anything new, and they responded that they're filming three new workouts in late June. They haven't said if they'll be streaming or on DVD, but I did ask them and am waiting to hear back. I'll keep you posted if they respond. :)
|
I would be interested in a DB-Lite, but hope they will be released to DVD!
Pam |
Me too!
|
Just read on FB that StudioMixx will be releasing 3 more workouts in June. I'll definitely keep my eyes on this. :)
|
Has anyone heard anything about the three new videos? I emailed Shandi about 3 weeks ago and did not get a response. I am not on Facebook and I am very interested in the new downloads.
Cheers. :heart: |
