Morning Maniacs -
This morning I did CIA- Double Cardio - All Body Cardio workout with Sharon Twombly. I sort of wish I did straight weights now, cuz it was supposed to be a weighlifting day (heavy), but I wanted to try this.
This is led by Sharon Twombly. Never had her as instructor before. She is okay. Pretty likeable and professional. I didn't notice anything annoying about her and her cuing was decent. The workout itself was very athletic and I thought it was very innovative. The ab work was completely different than anything I own. I loved the athletic sports moves on this. I always tend to like those (funny - cuz I was no athlete in school and took years of dance while I was growing up). Here are the downsides of this workout - there was almost no stretch at the end and it is an advanced 75 minute workout....so I could have used something substantial. Also, I think we only did pushups (2 sets) for the chest and back (no lat rows or chest presses) and she did about 6 sets for shoulders. I thought the shoulders were never gonna end. I was wondering if we were going to do biceps and triceps. I even snuck a few sets in during the one shoulder series. She finally gets to them, but you only do one long burning, endurance set for both your biceps and triceps and then it's on to more ab work. Some of the ab work was with a weight held with your feet. Something else different about this workout was that they hold a riser and do aerobics with it. She says you can use a med ball if you don't have a riser and since I was using my Firm step, I used a med ball.
Have great workouts everyone.
Marietta - I got my CIA DVDs thru the www.CIAvideo.com site. They have good customer service and I got them discounted because of the presale. If you have any questions, Greg Twombly answers emails promptly.
Toasty - Glad your neck is better. I was crazy busy at work yesterday and I'm having severe stomach problems....so I didn't get a chance to email you back yet. I'll try today, but it's pay day and I'm gonna be real busy again and my stomach is still messed up badly. I got the CDs last night. I just briefly ran thru the songs. I like the FlyLeaf! More after I listen to them. Yours should be arriving soon also.
