Thursday - Gilad and Keli

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I did Gilad Elite Forces this morning, I did this one

once before and I really enjoy it - a basic, athletic

syle kickboxing workout. Mostly punching, not too

much in the way of kicking. Gilad keeps the heart

rate up by throwing in lots of jumping jacks and jump

rope moves. It can definately be made harder with the

addition of light hand weights or weighted gloves. I

definately enjoyed it and got a good workout in. The

scene is interesting too - a military ship.

Afterwards I wanted to do Gilad's Core and More

workout, but the body of that one is 46 minutes and I

didn't have time for it. So I went with Keli

A.S.A.P workout (abs spine and posture) which is a

stability ball/core workout (approx. 30 min). Really

good! There are moves for your entire core - abs,

back, hamstrings, butt. Nothing unusual in terms of

the exercises but Keli puts them together well and her

instruction is very good. The workout has an almost

" relaxing " feel to it. it is well chaptered so you

can do 1, 2 or 3 of the " mini " workouts included on

the DVD. I picked this one up at Ross for a good

price a few months ago and it was well worth it. I'd

rate it as intermediate, it wasn't killer hard, but

there were some moves that challenged my balance,

posture and stability.

On a side note - there is a " bonus " section on the DVD

that contains clips of some other Keli workouts -

Lower Body and Core, Upper Body and Core - they are

supposedly two 30 min workouts. The clips look

awesome - medicine ball and dumbell moves that work

the upper and lower body with some " functional " core

twists thrown in. I wonder what the deal is with

these workouts - anyone know anything about them? Are

they released? I wonder if Ross will carry them? I'd

like to get Keli's Foam Roller workout as well at some

point (along with a foam roller).

Didn't get a chance to do my Petrone balls today - but

I'll make sure to do them tonight. I can honestly

feel a difference already. The last few weeks I've

had trouble sleeping b/c of my hip/back area and now

it is so much better. I can also feel that things are

loosening up - in a good way - not an about to

dislocate way.

Okay, enough rambling, gotta get moving.

Hope everyone has a great day,

Donna
