Good Afternoon!
I did Jillian's Banish Fat Boost Metabolism today. This one feels a little like Plyo X from P90X but I like this more. Warmup, 7 circuits (no rest) and stretch. Each circuit is repeated twice.
Circuit 1 - Kickbox
Circuit 2 - Plyos - burpees (there's more but didn't write anything down before 3rd circuit)
Circuit 3 - Butt kicks, hi knees, jacks, oblique crunches
Circuit 4 - Core: Mountain climbers, supermans, pike crunches, oblique crunches from plank; spider pushups
Circuit 5 - Kickbox - Crescent kicks, upper cuts to ceiling, back kicks; jab/crosses
Circuit 6 - Jump squats, cross country, plie jacks, skaters, standing mountain climbers
Circuit 7 - Moguls, standing pikes; knee repeaters both sides; jump rope.
This workout seems like it's going to be easy in the beginning but it really sneaks up on you and kicks your butt. I almost at one point had that puke in a bucket feeling (I think it was Circuit 2 or 6). I burned 395 calories. I think I will be working harder now that I have my HRM again. Not that I don't work hard but I think I'll try and give it just that little extra push when I see my HR dipping.
Anyone here order Insanity? From the reviews I hear, it's about 4 times worse than IMAX 3. Like you do about 4 intervals with no rest before you get 30 seconds of rest. People have beens saying it's the most challenging cardio they've ever done.
Deanie - Nothing wrong with doing a little extra!
Gayle - Great workout! But heavy squats are a no-no for me!
Jane - Have a great run!
Melissa - 18 hours is one long ride! The longest we did was 14 hours from GA to NY. Hope you had a great workout!
Waves to Tami, Laura, Andilynn & Rhonda!
