Guest guest Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Did part of this one for the first time this morning. I think I got it from someone on Swap-A-DVD.It's a collection of circuits: 3 minutes of aerobics/cardio, 2 minutes on a body part, 1 minute abs. (Hence the name " 3-2-1. " ) There are also warm up & cool down segments and some " bonus tips " on acupressure and " moves for better sleep. " I didn't watch those. I'm feeling a little sluggish today, so I was not at my most energetic or alert when I tried this video. My son is just getting over a cold and I'm afraid it may be trying to get me. Fight! I did the warm up, and three of the circuits: legs, chest and butt. The other circuits are back, arms & shoulders. I started the cool down but was tired and had trouble following her so I did not finish it. This is a fault of mine, anyway. I hate to do cool down and will grab any excuse not to do anything more but walk around slowly until I stop gasping. ;-) The warm-up seemed like 4-ish minutes of low impact aerobics. Or at least I did it in a low-impact way. There was some high-energy hopping being done by one of the back-up exercisers. Which doesn't seem like " warm up " to me, but whatever. I found the aerobics parts a little fast. The changes in moves just pop in there with little or no description, so I often stumbled for two reps before I figured out what she was doing. It got a little frustrating. I did enjoy the aerobics part in the arms circuit because it involved boxing moves. I really need to get some more punching and kicking videos. GRRR! I'll probably give this one another go when I feel a little more energetic. It will probably take a few repeats before I can do the cardio bits without stumbling. If the rest of it is similar to the parts I did, I'd say that it probably wouldn't be that challenging for an advanced person, but doing the whole video would definitely be good for an intermediate person. It's a challenge for a slow-ish beginner. I'm going to try to go for a walk later. I have to wait for a UPS package that needs a signature. Meanwhile, I'm baking a cake for my son's 17th birthday. I can't believe that my one and only baby is 17. Have a great day, everyone. And thanks again for the nice welcome, tips, encouragement, etc.!Kathy in L.A.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Hi Kathy, Way to push through on your workout! I like Freytag and remember enjoying this workout, too. I'm with you and though - I think I remember having trouble following some of the cardio combos. I'm probably just stayed moving do my own version, heh. I'm choreo-impared as well! Welcome to the group! Like the others said, sounds like you'll fit right in. Congrats on your success so far! I'm Sara in WI, 32, married with two dogs. I'm a sproadic poster, bargain hunter, prefer strength to cardio, and like to alternate video workouts with video free! Looking forward to your posts!
