New/Upcoming Release Trim & Toned in 20 - Page 2

Sissy B · 03-24-10, 05:21 PM

Thanks for the review Suzy. I haven't gotten my copy yet, but I'm really looking forward to it - I love Tonya.

I do have a question about the premixes. If you pick all weights, how long is that premix? Is it 30 minutes with another 30 minute cardio premix on the DVD?

Thanks!

Thanks for the review Suzy. Sounds like another good one from Tonya. I like how she chapters her workouts. I wish everyone did that.

Sissy, did you order during Tonya's presale?

Please don't hold me to these exact times, but they're close.

The strength premix is about 30 minutes long without the warm up and stretch, but she does stretch enough during the workout that you could probably get away with skipping it if you were tight on time. It's just upper and lower body without the ab specific segment. You do engage your core through the whole workout, though, with the moves on the stability ball and some standing balance work. I wondered about adding just the abs to it, but the whole 10 to 15 minute ab segment is one chapter. You would have to fast forward through the cardio to get to it, so I didn't try.

The cardio premix is shorter - only about 15 minutes. That would make it around 25 minutes if you included the warm up and stretch.

Oh...I forgot to mention earlier that the modifier also does beginner modifications during the strength part. She uses lighter weights for some moves and no weights for some of the lower body work. Sometimes she is on the floor rather than the ball. She uses a playground ball instead of the stability part for some inner thigh work and she balances on a chair for part.

Instead of more rambling, I'll give you a basic breakdown of the times.

Warm up - 5 minutes
Stretch - 5 minutes
Upper - 20 minutes
Lower - 20 minutes
Abs - 10 to 15 minutes
Cardio Premix - 15 minutes
Strength Premix - 30 minutes
Bonus Spiritual Stretch - under 10 minutes

Has anyone else received this? I'm rarely the first person to post about anything. It makes me a little nervous...

Suzy I can't believe you received this last week. WOW that was fast and I believe you are the first one.

Sissy B · 03-25-10, 08:22 AM

No I didn't order during the presale. I just ordered it this week.

Thanks for the info though. It sounds great!

I emailed Mary and she is going to be carrying this!

I'm always interested in short workouts. Too bad the clip is so hard (impossible) to watch on Tonya's site.

LAC · 03-25-10, 08:24 PM

I didn't have any problem at all with the clip, it played fine. And I really liked what I saw. But since I joined the Vidiot's Anonymous No Buying Challenge just a few days ago, I'm trying to hold out on ordering.

sundari · 03-26-10, 08:05 AM

I haven't had a problem either viewing the clip on Tonya's site.

I'm wondering if you could use a bosu as well as the stability ball for the exercises.

Joni O · 03-26-10, 08:50 AM

I finally got the clip to work last night. I'm on the fence about this one.

ETA: Just read Suzy's review. Sorry, not interested in anything with Bible verses in any part of it. There's a time and a place for everything, and working out isn't the time or the place for that for me.
