Hello, Sportsfans:
I've cooked up a new major mish-mosh that takes the traditional Gauntlet workout from the Terminator DVD to the next level for those who want a serious cardio and leg-burn experience. I personally prefer to focus exclusively on legs during any circuit workout, AND I've always felt that I-Max 2's warm-up and interval #1 were a tad light for my tastes; plus I always felt the first Boot Camp cardio cycle (the Speed Skates) also a tad light.
That being said, here's something for those who truly love punishment. It really only works if you have a 5-disc DVD player so that you can just scoot to each next disc without too much time elapsing. Use the heaviest barbell you can safely hike over your head 7 times during the workout; don't worry about dumbbells.
4 discs needed: I-Max 1; Boot Camp; Terminator; I-Max 2
GAUNTLET RE-IMAGINED:
I-Max 1 warm-up THROUGH Interval #1 (do NOT go into recovery!);
DISC SKIP TO:
BOOT CAMP DVD, Cardio Interval #8 (Ice Breakers!)
PAUSE: 48 traditional squats
DISC SKIP TO:
GAUNTLET DVD, beginning with
CYCLE #2:
I-Max aerobic / interval 4 (3-count squats + over-the-top + Power 15’s)
CHAPTER ADVANCE 3X TO:
Boot Camp jacks + airborne jacks (1:12)
PAUSE: 24 lunges each leg; PLAY
CYCLE #3:
I-Max aerobic / interval #7 (ski hops + box jumps + tuck jumps)
(CONTINUE to)
Boot Camp squats + roundhouse kicks
(CHAPTER ADVANCE 2X to)
Boot Camp squat-thrust climbers
PAUSE: 48 plie squats; PLAY
CYCLE #4:
I-Max aerobic / interval #10 (Power-L’s + power squats with a turn)
(CONTINUE to)
Boot Camp front kicks + side kicks
(CHAPTER ADVANCE 2X to)
Boot Camp jacks + jabs
PAUSE: 24 lunges each leg; PLAY
CYCLE #5:
I-Max aerobic / interval #3 (Power-Box 1-4 + One-Legged “Genie Hops”)
(CHAPTER ADVANCE 3X to)
Boot Camp sequential power kicks
PAUSE: 24 tradional squats; 24 plie squats; PLAY
CYCLE #6:
I-Max aerobic / interval #6 (Power-3’s + Straddle-Taps);
(CHAPTER ADVANCE 3X to)
Boot Camp kickbox (speed-bag + knee-smash + front kicks + vertical jumps)
PAUSE: 12 slow lunges each leg
DISC SKIP TO:
I-Max 2: Interval blast #5; Mix-N-Match to
Interval blast #8; Mix-N-Match to
Interval blast #9;
PAUSE: 24 traditional squats; 24 plie squats; 24 lunges each leg
If you can get through the last Interval Blast on I-Max 2 (the dreaded Interval #9), do it one more time. If you can get through THAT, you are not of this world.
Enjoy!
