BJ Gaddour's 10 Minute Torchers

I got this set in the summer but haven't had time to get going with it. I finally previewed all 12 segments and will post breakdowns below.

BJ Gaddour is still the same type of instructor he was in Delta Fit. I think his form is impeccable and he gives good instructions on how to do the exercises. He still is also spouting "Gaddourisms" which I happen to enjoy quite a bit. Others might find him annoying. If you liked him in Delta Fit, it's just more of the same here.

The workouts are set in what looks like an abandoned warehouse.

This set has a music off option, which I am very grateful for. The music is low and pretty boring. The first disc has a menu matrix where you can select which segment you want to do, and when you're finished, it goes back to the menu matrix to select another segment or be done. There are no warm ups or cool-downs. Each of the 10 minute segments has a little 10-20 second intro where he explains how the workout is going to go. The exercise you are about to do is printed on the screen, along with a workout timer.

The second disc has a menu with different rotation options, going from Level 1 (easiest) to Level 5 (hardest). Each level lasts 2 weeks. And the weeks are 6 days, with 1 day of rest. I am not sure I would want to do this style of training every day. I looked at the two highest levels and it looks like MWF are harder, longer workouts, and Tu and Th are shorter more cardio and core based workouts.

The third disc has a menu with 25 different premixes that have been designed by Gaddour with names like "the Date-Night Torcher" and "the Guns and Buns Torcher."

So far I have done 3 of the segments and enjoyed them a lot. From previewing them, there are 2 segments I am not sure I will like. They just look weird and/or repetitive, but I need to try them and see.

Chomper - thank you for the breakdowns. I love BJ and was eyeing this set over the weekend. I think you just convinced me to cave.

Thank you for your review! I think I will buy it, I like BJ a lot, he makes me laugh. The intensity is about the same as DeltaFit? I like the 10 min segments, easy to add to other workouts.
