New/Upcoming Release UGI 3 is up

[ARTmethodfan]

Terri Walsh loaded her UGI 3 workout into the virtual studio today. This is the 3rd of three promised UGI workouts. And it looks to be the toughest. I've only previewed it but hope to try it later today or tomorrow.

The timer shows it to be approx. 45 minutes long. At the beginning, Terri says make sure that you are comfortable with the Dynamic Cardio Toning sections of the mat class. You should be able to do a 30-sec plank hold.

Terri has 3 mats set up side by side to make a big square and is using a 12-lb UGI. while UGI 2 was more of a standing workout, this is more of a 'on-the-floor' workout with lots of plank and ab work. I've done UGI 2 a couple of times now and I'm really enjoying the UGI exercises.

I will try to give a short breakdown of the workout later.

Thanks, Nat! I've only done UGI 1 (I used my Zip Trainer) and it. I'm looking forward to 2 and 3.

As I gathered from previewing, ART Ugi 3 was mainly a floor workout. There were long sets of some tough plank work using the ball. Here's a short breakdown:

- push up, roll over onto the ball, bicycle, roll over, back and forth
- from plank, knee touch to ball like mountain climbers

- starting from pigeon on ball, tap leg behind and around ball to plank
- then pretzel on ball leg lifts in back
- then a combo

- on back with one knee bent, roll to side, grab ball, touch ball to lifted straight leg, return ball

- chest presses on back
- full sit ups with the ball

- side plank curl-under
- balancing on your side on the ball, scissor legs (tough balance work)

- on back, shins holding ball, bridges
- lift ball with shins
- then combo

- with straight front leg, extend back leg with knee on floor then straighten back leg to a split
- waist twists
- then combo
