Thanks for the review on this Donna. It sounds like a versatile DVD. Great job too!

Reebok Circuit

Hi Everyone,

Today I did a circuit workout (and a virgin workout, too!)- I did Reebok Bootcamp w/ Tanja D. I have a few other workouts that Tanja did for Gaiam -a stability ball workout and a core/cardio routine. Both are good. This one got mediocre reviews on Collage but I liked it a lot. It is mostly a body weight workout - and Tanja does a lot of work for the core and balance. If you are a hard core advanced exerciser you will likely find this one too easy, but for me, I enjoyed it and generally was able to follow the more advanced versions of everything. There isn't much "cardio" per se, but the strength exercises move quickly enough to raise your HR a bit. Tanja does have a lower impact/lower intensity modifier and most of the modifications make sense - push-ups on knees as opposed to toes, slower pace, smaller range of motion. I like Tanja as an instructor. The main workout is just under an hour but is comprised of 4 "bootcamp" segments and 1 abs/core segment (no crunches, all planks and variations!). You can mix and match segments and create your own workout. There is also an express workout and a bonus workout - each is around 15 min long - so I may tack that on later this week just to test them out. This one is a keeper for me, low dread factor, but effective for me. I also like the cusomizable aspect of the workout if short on time or if you want to do segments as add-ons.I did some stretching on my own. Tomorrow - back to cardio and MR - finishing up the first workout on Beauty to the Bone which will be lower body floorwork (I think). Hope everyone has a good day - not too happy it is Monday, but what can youd do?Take care!!Donna
