So tonight, even though my Kathy Smith aerobox and kickbox combo dvd showed up, I said that I was going to try the 10 Minute Solution Kickbox Bootcamp DVD. Wow, this one was actually a LOT of fun. The fitness guru for this dvd is Keli Roberts, an Aussie by the sound of her accent (I haven't checked her out yet), and she is a lot of fun to follow. She is also totally ripped, but not just her upper body, she is like body builder material.
So, this DVD was broken down into 5 segments. First was the beginning segment. Second was the buns and thighs. Third was the arms and shoulders. Fourth was fat blasting. Fifth and last was the washboard abs.
The first through third segments are the ones I did today. I saw a brief preview of the abs one, and I can tell you I am so not ready for those gumby moves. Jillian will have to do for the ab workouts until I am a bit more limber.
The first segment was fun. It ran through a series of kicks and punches just to get you used to the movements and the structure of the movement. Good way to start out. The first ten minutes flew by.
The second segment was all kicks. Rather fun and it also flew by.
The third segment was all arms, and while I know I'll be feeling it later, I didn't get the feeling that it was too hard at all. I felt like I kind of breezed through it - so perhaps it is time to get a heavier set of hand weights?
I know one thing for certain, my legs were still sore and feeling it from the first 10 minute solution day and Jillian, so I know they are going to be feeling it tomorrow. I need to do some extra stretching tonight so that I'm able to get out of bed tomorrow morning.
I'm actually having fun this time around. Mixing it up is good :-)
Oh, on other news, my hand held water bottle showed up today along with my 4 pack waist pack. I got these for 1 - shorter runs (hand held) and 2 - for longer runs (4 pack). The other waist pack I have only holds one bottle, so I wanted to give another one a shot . . . and considering how many folks I saw at the race with these I figured it was a good investment.
Now the only thing I'm waiting on are my shin/calf compression sleeves. Then I will be complete !!!
This sounds like another great video - you are hitting the fitness DVD jackpot with all these good picks. (I haven’t been so lucky... despite good reviews of that Rodney Yee DVD on Amazon, I’m not really digging him.) So are these 10-Minute Solution DVDs really only 10 Minutes? Me likes the sounds of that!
ReplyDeleteOh that’s the same waist pack I have too, only I have the 2-bottle version. I do agree that this is a good idea to bring the packs to our next runs because being at the mercy of someone else’s hydration station placements can be a bit iffy. On the marathon those stations seemed to be really really far apart.
ReplyDeleteYeah, these 10 Minute Solution ones are great. I am rather enjoying them and the fact that they are broken down into 10 minute segments makes them nice and easy to mix and match.
