I did the rest of the Mindy Mylrea workout today. I didn’t care for the other sections. The standing to floor combos were burpees, mtn climbers and some plank crunches. I had to modify most of it. It was less than 4 minutes. The floor strength was about 13 minutes and had side lying leg work, arm slides for the lats and some ab work. In hindsight it wasn’t bad but it was bothering my back. I did some qigong before this which put some stress on my back so that is probably why.
In any case, I liked the cardio and strength combo section so I will keep this for now. |

I’m still ploughing through my untrieds with the inspiration of this thread.
This week I tried the 4th disc of Kettlenetics. I do own a Gaiam version with 3 discs so I was interested what the 4th disc had and will now pass on my 3 disc version to thrift store. Five 10 min body parts sections which can be programmed into any order. Thumbs up for that. I was able to up the weight slightly, still keep safe and felt the workout the next day. I don’t think of this as a Kettlebell workout but enjoyed it as a single lighter weight something different day. I liked MIchelle. Last week I worked through 4 segments of Jane Adams Gentle Yoga. Loved them all and felt soothed. Doesn’t matter what the other three sections are like, I’m sure I will love them, it’s a keeper. This is one disc I wish I hadn’t let sit for ages... I also tried the Strong portion of KCM Strong and Lean. It was solid but not thrilling. Like all KCM I will keep this anyway. Another tried was 15-Minute workout for Dummies with Gay Gasper. This was a thrift store find. I thought it might be too easy but with Gay leading worth taking a chance. Abs, Arms, Buns and thighs. I did my own thing with weight selections and it ended up being challenging and really good. Gay is professional and very warm. Love her smile. |

Tore off the shrink wrap to Tracie Long Grand Total 2. So happy I did. I felt mostly in my glutes and core during the workout but the next day was feeling it in my upper back too.
I am just trying to add in newbies one or two a week if they fit my plan. And if I can't add in a newbie then a dustbunny. Working out well. ETA: Just tried Shape 5 day Jumpstart. Yumi wasn't enough to have me decide to keep this DVD. I did her kickbox chapter and really like her so I will look for her. The other chapter I tried was the Interval 101 led by Elise. She chatters too much for my taste and I muted her so I could finish the workout. It was still easy to follow. previewed the other chapters and none appealed to me. Every now and then I hit on one that doesn't work for me.

I did the longest workout from Ilyse Baker's Weight Watcher's Dance dvd. I think I bought the kit about a year and a half ago. I had previewed the two shorter workouts, but not the longest one.
I liked the workout, but I'm not sure if I liked it enough to do it again. There was a lot of repeating of steps, and Ilyse DID NOT STOP TALKING. I think I will like the two shorter workouts more from previewing them. They had better music. I'll try them as add-ons and then decide whether to keep it or not. I did not use the fitness sticks since I thought they might bug my shoulders.

I was looking at my Margaret Richard DVDs and saw one still in shrink-wrap!
My Body of Work - Unplugged from the 1900 and 200 series that aired on PBS. I did the first of the four half-hour routines. Not bad, but strange without music.

I received my used copy of Kimberly Spreen's Cardio Combat Surge (CIA 2904) today and immediately jumped in and did the entire workout (all 88 minutes of it!) I really like Kimberly as an instructor and I enjoyed this workout with the intervals of med ball, kickboxing, and weighted bar. I was happy to be able to dust off my Firm Sculpting stick and use it for this workout. The twigs broke off the ends so I don't even use it for BSS2 workouts anymore. So I used the middle section of the sculpting stick along with weighted gloves for the bar moves. It was fun! And the added 15 minute stretch section was very nice...I really don't stretch as much as I should and this was a welcome break to lots of workouts that have inadequate stretches at the end. I will do this workout again, but most likely only a couple of sections as I don't often work out 90 minutes at a time! Oh, and I liked the music in this workout...kinda 90s rave music in some parts and familiar covers in others.
