My second time with Bikini Bootcamp this morning.
I definitely have a like/dislike relationship with this workout. It's almost like a switch from when I go from really liking the workout to disliking it, and I'm pretty sure it's because the cardio portion goes on a bit too long. Again, there's lots of negatives, and I'm having to modify a bit to make it work. Someone a few posts above mentioned doing the front/back kicks by modifying the front kick and back kicks doing your back kicks with your other leg. This works really well for me. I also pause the DVD and do the curtsy lunges separately, and then do the side kicks. What I do like about this workout is that it is a cardio focused workout. Since the moves are so fast, I would most likely ditch it if it was a toning focus workout. So I'm happy with it. I do sweat buckets with this workout. I didn't do the floor work today. I had TA's ab continuity to do, and I didn't feel like doing both.

I just did Bikini Bootcamp for the 2nd time today, right after my TA workout, and it's so weird because I liked it much better today. I held 1 lb weights today, and I also modified the forward/back kicks, which was much better. The instructor didn't bother me as much this time either - don't ask me why - maybe I'm in a better mood? Idk! I really loved the bridge work near the end - that was my favorite part. I'm so glad I liked this one this time around, because I was kind of dreading doing it again, but it actually felt great today

Hi all,
Haven't read all the way through this thread yet, but I just got this set in a trade (thank you kind VFER, you know who you are!!). I did the first workout this morning, Fusion Mix (with Darby?)...and holy cow. Is it just me, or is sitting on the floor gaping at the TV with a slack jaw considered taking a rest break? I mean, I had to modify the modifications in many (read all) places. And my thighs are shaking, like even now! All I could think was, "Is she high??? She must be CRAZY!!!" Well, at least she certainly doesn't waste any time Sorry. Seriously. I'm sure if I can make myself do this with any kind of regularity (like more than the once a year I'm currently feeling like I might use it) I would certainly see results. Well, that being said, I'm sure it gets better....right??? |
