1.12.10: Today's Workout, Hummus Sandwich Recipe, Video Review

Today's Workout:
-Firm Classic Volume 3: Interval Aerobics
*total w/o time 60 min + stretch


Today's Recipe: Hummus Sandwich
Ingredients
-Ezekial Bread

-sprouted peas

-Any lowfat cheese-I like this Almond based cheese or Trader Joes 75% reduced fat cheddar

-Hummus
-mixed vegis: red onion, tomatoe, cucumber, red peppers, etc.

Spread hummus on Ezekial bread. Sprinkle sprouted peas on hummus, top with sliced cheese and sliced vegis. YUM! The sprouted peas are super high in protein and give it the sandwich a nice crunch.

Heres two pics of my fat kitty. My mom bought her these little outfits. I put the T-shirt on her and she didnt know what to do, so she just plopped down and stayed there until I took it off!

And I am working on a new project: reviewing w/o dvds. I am doing this for a few different websites so I thought I would post some of them here as well. Here is a link to my VF reviews and a link to my Viewpoint reviews.
Today's Review: Firm Bootcamp Maximum Calorie Burn. Alison Davis, 2007

I really like the Firm and I like Allison as a lead. It clocks in around 50 minutes. I would consider this an intermediate level intensity workout though it can easily be modified up or down. I really give it my all and I can easily get an advanced workout. Ali and Sue Mi are background exercisers; with Sue Mi providing the beginner modifications. Alison is a great lead and cues well.


The workout is separated into plyo segments and cardio segments. The plyo segments include the strength work. She starts with a grounded move such as lunge and moves it into a flying lunge for example. If you just do the flying lunge the whole time you will definitely get an advanced workout!


There are some tough moves in this workout: squat thrusts come to mind! There is a bit of bad camera work when she introduces this move, but once you’ve done the w/o once you wont even notice. The last cardio segment is the most fun! She does a tire run, double step touch, shooting a basketball combo that got my HR up and I really enjoyed it. She also has a fun kickboxing segment as well. She does a bit of standing ab work and then more ab work on the floor at the end. Good ab w/o IMO. Lots of variety in this one so I am never bored!


I use the strength portions as cardio breaks because I use this as a cardio w/o. So I use my lighter dumbbells (5#s). You could easily heavy up but the strength minutes are limited so I would rather capitalize on the cardio and use my light dumbbells for this one.
