Today's Review: 10 Minute Solutions Knockout Body! (did this yesterday, can feel it in my UB today/ wrote this review along time ago actually)
Jessica Smith, 2009 ***** (4.5 of 5 stars)
This dvd has 5 ten minute segments and includes a pair of pink weighted gloves. The gloves are 12 oz. The gloves are adjustable and fit fairly well. They shift a tiny bit while working out, but not a big deal. Jessica is an excellent lead-she cues very well and has a pleasant demeanor. All the segments have a lot of "new" unique moves and are a lot of fun. I am liking the newer 10 Min Sol alot more than the older ones! The dvd is fully customizable and you can mix & match to create your own workout.
The first segment is: Knockout Body Blast and is a combination of cardio and strength. It includes bob and weaves with punches, a (mock) jump roping segment, jack-X-punch combo, kicks with a squat, and some punch kick combos.
Fat Attack: it is the most cardio of all the segments. There are alot of lateral movements-bob and weave, side step, etc. She does a jack punch combo, and a punch kick combo.
Fierce & Fabulous Abs: This segment is 1/2 standing and 1/2 floor ab work. The standing work includes twisting, balance work and kneep pulls and is alot of fun! The floor work includes a V sit with a punch, a unique plank -turkish getup variation set, balance work, crunches, and spinal extension work.
Ultimate Upper Body: Obviously has a lot of punches. I like this as a nice addon to another upper body workout. She does some pushups and back flys. There is some cardio in here as well.
Kickbox Crosstrain: Includes a punch & squat combo, squat with overhead tricep extension, a balance move where you lift your leg and twist in (hitting the abs and hips), a balance tap move, and some kick sqats. This one seems to target the lower body.
I would rate all these as intermediate. She does do at least one round of the routines slow at first which does allow the heartrate to drop a bit, but once you get the hang of it you can go at a faster pace throughout. I like this one and it was def worth getting (even though I already had a pair of weighted gloves LOL). Good price for the dvds & gloves anyway.
Today's Tip: Movie Snacks (from Barry's Bootcamp Website)
Popcorn: What’s a movie without popcorn, right? Did you know that buttered popcorn that smells so great at the concession stand is loaded with 600 calories and 39 grams of fat? And that’s just in a medium size. Ask for your popcorn unbuttered and bring along your own seasoning for extra flavor. Or pop up a fat-free version in your microwave at home. It smells just as good and will fill you up with fiber without expanding your waistline.
Candy: There are lots of choices here, most of them loaded with sugar, calories and fat. One of the best options is a box of Good & Plenty licorice. It contains a mere 133 calories and zero grams of fat.
Chocolate: If you must indulge in a chocolate fix, pick a chocolate-covered candy instead of a chocolate bar. Junior Mints are a nice compromise since a half box contains a respectable 3 grams of fat and 170 calories. Split a box with your movie companion or save the rest for later.
Fruit Candy: The good news here is that most chewy fruit treats are fat-free. When it comes to calories and sugars, however, not all are created equal. A two-ounce serving of Swedish Fish, for example, has 33% less sugar and 30% fewer calories than a serving of Dots.
Hello Kitty Crafts:
I made Hello Kitty cards this weekend-and the inside of each card has a HK embelishment too! Im thinking I will put them in my sisters Etsy shop once she gets it up and going as I have no-one to send 5 million Hello Kitty cards to...
Today's LOL: from a newspaper apparently
