10 Minute Solutions Ultimate Bootcamp Review:
Jessica Smith, 2010 ***** (5 of 5 stars)
This is a bootcamp-esque dvd by 10 Minute Solutions, led by Jessica Smith, who works out alone in a nice wide open set. This dvd includes cardio and strength moves. There are five 10 minute segments that you can use individually or mix and match to create a 10-50+ minute workout. You will need a few sets of dumbbells for some of the segments.
I did all 5 segments this morning and got a great cardio and a great stength workout! The segments go by FAST and each segment got/kept my heartrate up. Jessica does an awesome job leading and all the moves have a fresh & unique feel to them without being complicated or confusing. I felt my muscles being worked in a different way than traditional strength training moves. She adds in agility moves and balance work as well. There is a definate functional feel but you are able to heavy up-the best of both worlds.
FAT FIGHTING SKILLS & DRILLS: is a fun and unique cardio workout that really got my heartrate up and got me sweating from the get go-jumping jacks, squat thrust variations, "mud crawling." The moves are all athletic and straightforward with a definate bootcamp feel to them. Loved this section-no wasted time. 10 minutes WELL spent.
ULTIMATE UPPER BODY TRAINING: Includes some cardio and explosive moves to keep your heartrate up. I used a few dif sets of dumbbells. The moves were unique and had a functional feel to them, wood chopping, sand bag carrying, pushup and walking plank variations, Mt. climbers, etc. My UB will feel this tomorrow. My core was working in many of the moves-nice bonus.
ULTIMATE LOWER BODY TRAINING: This segment is unweighted but there are enough reps and she goes low into them so I didnt even use dumbbells though you could if you felt the need. There are some jumping squats and plyo lunges that will get your heartrate up and my legs were burning by the end of the 10 minutes. She also incorporates some balance work and bun squeezes. This segment is all done standing.
ULTIMATE TOTAL BODY TRAINING: This segment is full body strength work using a heavy pair of dumbbells. My heartrate was up the entire time and there are some straight cardio & agility moves as well. Again, there were some unique moves in here. A squat with a bicep curl into an overhead press, an explosive front raise into an overhead tricept extension, & pushups.
SIX PACK AB ATTACK: starts with some standing ab work and then goes down to the floor for crawling planks, plank twists, side planks, crunch variations, and sit up variations. My abs were fried by the end of this. Unique and fun and kept in the boocamp spirit.
I would rate this a high intermediate AWT (aerobic weight training) workout. I love workouts that provide enough strength work to count as a strength day but burn enough calories to count as a cardio day-this dvd did just that! This dvd is an excellent addition to my (large) workout collection. I love bootcamp workouts and have many of them but this one really is unique! I see myself reaching for this often as a whole or in pieces. There is really no wasted time here!

THIS CONTEST IS OVER. THE WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED TOMORROW MORNING! STAY TUNED... Ok bloggers, here is my first fitness dvd giveaway! The lovely and generous Jessica Smith has donated her brand new 10 Minute Solution Ultimate Bootcamp for my giveway. She was actually kind enough to send me one for the giveaway and one to review and keep :) YAY, I would have bought it for sure anyways and it was already on my wishlist even before trying it out-which I did this morning and I give it FIVE of 5 stars :) Here is a link to another of Jessica's sites.
I also want to note how genuinely nice Jessica was in her email correspondence with me. She is truly a fitness lover and is committed to getting people like us into shape. It was truly refreshing talking with a fitness professional that isnt in the business because she has a certain look, or just to make $$$. I could really tell that fitness is her passion in life :)
Jessica is also collaborating with 10 Minute Solutions and Wii for a new Wii game that I am really excited about! I like Jessica, I like 10 Min Sol, and I like Wii-sounds like a winner to me! When I have more info about this I will post it. The amazon price is less than $20!!!
