I will definatley be getting myself a copy of this because I am LOVING the 3 day split premixes-I also think the timesaver premixes look great! I really like that I can do a 40ish minute strength w/o and still have time to add in some cardio to burn some extra calories.
Besides all the wonderful premixes- this dvd is chaptered SO well! There is also a section on the main menu "About NRG Mixes" that tells you exactly which exercises are in each premix-awesome! As with all of Amys dvds this really has a LOT to offer and can be used in SO many different ways. It is a serious strength training workout and today my ENTIRE body is sore (in a good way of course) from the past 3 days w/o's! Another great w/o from Amy Bento!!!!
Today's Review: All Pump Xtreme (3 Day Split: Back, Bi's & Tri's)This premix is 42 minutes led by Amy with 3 background exercisers-one shows modifications. Amy uses tubing, dumbbells, a barbell, a weighted bar, and a step. You can easily get away with using only step, dumbbells, and tubing IMO-but I enjoyed using the bar for one of the bicep moves. This workout thouroughly works the bi's, tri's, and back before the cooldown/ stretch.
After the warmup you move right into back work starting w/ modified pullups. Amy has a weighted bar lying across 2 sets of a lot of risers and 1 b/g exerciser uses 2 chairs. I only have the Firm Sculpting Stick and I didnt really trust my body weight with that stick so I did a different back move (Im drawing a blank on the name right now-something pinch-someone help me out?), [ETA: rhomboid pinch-knew it would come to me sooner or later] from there she moves into T bar rows w/ a barbell (I used dumbbells), then a lying rear delt fly on the incline bench.
Next is the bicep work-she starts with the band handles around the bar. You hold the bar and put 1 foot on the band and curl-I could REALLY feel this, so if you have a bar & a band I would recommend not subbing equipment here. Then you do bicep curls & forearm curls lying on the incline bench. You finish (frying) the bicep work with tubing curls.
The last section is tricep work and boy will my tri's feel this tomorrow! You do tricep pushups on the bench with a one armed tri hold-ouch, dumbbell kickbacks and a seated overhead tubing tricep extension. You move into your cooldown to finish the workout-there is no core work in this premix.
I would rate this premix & the dvd as a whole a high intermediate w/o. This is a great strength training dvd and would fit nicely in all dvd collections. It is tough but fun and also very efficient.
