OK, my last post for this review tonight.. Ah! I love Christmas!!
This set, IMO so far, is worth it. The strap thingies are fun, I just did workout 1. Keep in mind I'm getting over bronchitis & did Cathe STS chest/delts/bis yesterday. After the warm up that lasted about 17 minutes... it started out with ROM movements, then light marches, balancing, then like 30 seconds in plank position.
He really warms you up gradually, but after 17 minutes you are warm, your HR is up, lets go already! He yells and points at me, and we do a jumping jack variation segment that lasted about 3-5 minutes. If you like jumping, this is for you. Otherwise, get your rebounder. Some of it's confusing,but it's all jack variation, just changing your arms or crossing your legs. Then, he does some lunges & squats with the straps, burpees (skipped these), some chest work (push ups with the straps in your hands), some back row with the straps, triceps and bis, all 60 seconds each time. I was moving slow, so I got in about 20-30 reps for each exercise. I skipped most of the cardio so I wouldn't go into fits of coughing.
My HR was up, and besides him talking at me loud and pointing lots, and over explaining it was good.
Actually, over explaining was even OK, because then I could see what he was gonna do, and do it without watching him the whole time. I just hope he doesn't do it too much on every workout.
Overall, keep in mind it's a Christmas feeling here right now so that can skew my opinion, I like it
I just started my Meta-Omni rotation and was going to do STS with it, but I might instead do my meta alternating with this and see how it goes.
I don't know how often you are supposed to do each workout, they are just labeled "week 1" and "week 2" etc, so I don't know if I am expected to do it every day or every other day. I'm gonna alternate, but if you guys see anything about how often you are supposed to work out, let me know.
OK, gotta get my inhaler...
