4.6.10: AND AND AND

I started back up w/ my BBC (Barry's Bootcamp Fat Blaster set) yesterday. Click here for a video. DH hates Barry. Apparently Barry is loud and annoying. He yells "AND AND AND" and it drives DH crazy. I guess I dont notice it because Im too busy getting my butt kicked! I really love this set and have had great results with it! When I first got it I did an 8 week rotation and lost 8 lbs! I didnt change my diet at all or up my exercise time!

Today's Bargain:
-TJ Maxx & Marshall's stores reportadly have the Barry's Bootcamp Fat Blaster set for as low as $10! Its been seen from $10-$20. Either price is excellent IMO. I paid $60 for it and it was worth every penny!


Today's Review: Barry's Bootcamp Fat Blaster Set
Cindy Whitmarsh & Barry Jay, 2008 ***** (5 of 5 stars)

This set comes with 3 dvds. There is a lower body dvd, upper body dvd, and a code red (get fit quick in 6 days) dvd. The upper and lower body dvds each have a 21 minute w/o and six additional 12 min Mision Specialist w/o's on them. The MS w/o's and are: upper body-beginner, lower body-beginner, abs-beginner, upper body-advanced, lower body-advanced, and abs-advanced. The Code Red dvd is 15 minutes and is total body strength work-no cardio.


The kit also comes w/ resistance cord handles and 2 strengths of interchangable resistance bands. The green band is level 1 (beginner strength) and the black is level 3 of 4. The black band is pretty tough. It also comes w/ a torpedo shaped ball, the Transformer. The transformer ball is used as a weight bench, stability ball, and a prop for cardio & strength moves. The resistance bands can go around the ball while you are laying on it-so you can do bench press or pec fly for example.

There is a countdown banner on the bottom of the screen that counts down each minute. A buzzer goes off at the 10 seconds remaining mark and Cindy, barry & crew countdown. Cindy actually leads the w/o's and Barry walks around with motivational pointers and form tips. They work well together and have a nice repoir.

Each workout is short but tough! You can use them for time crunched days as is or combine a few for a longer w/o. I like to use one fat blaster w/o, a corresponding (UB or LB) mission specialist, and an ab w/o for a 50 minute w/o. I love that I can get in strength and cardio each day! The 1 minute format really makes the tough moves doable. I am able to really push myself because I know its only going to be 60 seconds.

This set is perfect for beginners, intermediates, and advanced exercisers. Cindy does the intermediate level and they also have a beginner and advanced modifier for each move. And you have your choice of band strength. Using the black band and following the advanced modifier I can really get a great, heartpumping, calorie burning, workout in!

Like I said, Ive had great results with this set. Lost 8 lbs (putting me at a lifetime low), gained cardio endurance, got to doing toe pushups, and noticed muscle definition in my biceps. Even after doing it for 8 weeks I could still feel it!
