Yes, there is 17 minutes of it at the very end. Some of it includes plank cardio like mountain climbers. I really don't care for this section and just skip it except for the plank cardio at the beginning. The only floorwork that I like is in Tracy Anderson's Omni/Abcentric Continuity series since it's unique.
Here is a link with the breakdown. This is a great site to check out other Tonique and fitness clips. https://www.totalfitnessdvds.com/TON...BERG-p/798.htm

ETA - Here are VF reviews of Tonique Premier. You will notice Acescholar wrote all the exercises including the Mat section. Also, this reminded me that TotalFitness did not list the time for the Opening Drill section which is at the beginning of the workout. There is also a separate warm-up/cool-down section. http://www.videofitness.com/reviewsd...ew.php?id=3329

I only just got over man flu a couple of days ago!
Anyway yesterday I tried Tonique Premier.. oh my she really kicked my derriere, I only managed 20 minutes. It is incredibly endurance based!! I am really unfit with regards to cardio especially mixed with endurance. I could see Tonique was laughing at my weakness from the other side of the screen so I called it a day. My only gripe is it is quite jumpy or stompy and there is no warm up at all! (also the stretching at the end is a little too much for me) Today I did Gymabstics month 2 followed by Buns of Steel, no problems with Gymabstics 2, but my God buns of steel, while I just about completed it I think I worked muscles around my glutes that I've never worked in my life! Buns of steel is great for exactly what it says i.e. toning, but I get the feeling that a lot of the movements are not practical from a Gymanstics perspective where leg extensions should be at the extremities of movement and alternatively held. Tonique Premier definitely more the fat burner and heavily endurance based. I'm going to alternate the two, so tomorrow back to getting my rear handed to me by Tonique in Premier. I also got the Tonique mat which I liked the look of so I'll be trying that sometime next week. Can't wait! I realise that eventually I'm going to start having to write my own programming as I progress to intermediate Gymnastics floor work, so I'll be alternating lower and core cardio, with upper body and combination strength exercises. I've been wanting to do it for a while, but programming is hard and also requires you have a guinea pig (i.e. unfit test subject) to compare progress! All the videos I've done so far are great but there is not one that ticks all my boxes! I am a picky fairy! |

I know that the people who do Tonique a lot say it's the easiest, but I personally think it's a sweat fest. It definitely is a tough workout!

koolio, I don't have a workout suggestion, but for gymnastics skills, it is fun to watch the instructional clips that Carl Paoli puts out on gymnasticswod.com

My best lower body results consistantly come from any of the TaeBo lower body workouts, NOTHING gives me results like Billy especially when using the bands. Rockin Buns from the AMPED series is insane fun and I see almost instant results..........the lower body add-ons from BootCamp or BootCamp Elite are also excellent.
