Did Shred Cardio today. I'm annoyed enough with it that I didn't tack on Push Day, which I'd intended to do.
This is a Hiit workout, reminds me of Shock Cardio Hiit 30/30 or 40/20, Ripped with Hiit cardio, etc. in both intensity and style. After a step warmup, there are 12 cardio blasts with a series of moves using the step and sometimes the floor as well. Each blast is repeated multiple times, followed by a recovery/march in place before you're on to the next blast. As an example, Blast 2 is knee off the side of the step, two jacks on the floor, knee off the back of the step, plyo jack, two jumps up onto the step, power 3 on one leg, change lead leg and repeat. Some blasts have fewer moves; one of the later ones is lunges off the step alternating "swim" arms and "pulldown" arms. All blasts have high impact moves, though I modified all over the place. Good points: the workout is short, athletic instead of dancy, and is modifiable if you want to take out impact. Bad points: Cathe's cueing is not good. For the above Blast 2, she tells you beforehand you're doing knee off, jacks, knee off, but everything else is cued on the fly during the first time through. She does this REPEATEDLY during the workout, either cueing only the first couple of moves of a blast or cueing as you're starting the first move. Or she gives you the full rundown - "we'll do four wide jumps, after four wide one narrow, squat thrust into a pushup, ready?" and she's off, while my brain is still going, "wait, what?" Me and my pause-rewind became good friends. Music is unmemorable. And I miss Amanda in the background; Jen does not have Amanda's form or range of motion. I did the workout on a 6" step, modified a lot of the impact and would say I got a solid intermediate workout. I'd need to go to 8" to jack up my heartrate, but a couple of the blasts have fast-enough footwork - and LOTS of jumps up onto the step - that 8" might be pushing it. Overall, it's a decent workout and I'll be much less pissy about the cueing when I've done it a few more times. It's nice to have another short Hiit workout to add to my collection but there is nothing new or innovative about this one. And a quick note on the Fit Split case: it's a four-DVD case with two overlapping DVDs on each side, so you have to remove the front DVD to get at the back one, like THIS CASE. I will replace it with a better one.
