Emily Welsh is leading the workout, Jennifer Ray is following and Kelsie Daniels doing modifications. These ladies waste no time getting started with the first cardio pattern which consists of a whirlwind of lunges, dips, squats, plie squats without weights.The first burst is power squats. During the last 2 sets you are encouraged to try and click your heels (I’m not at that level, yet!)
The second cardio pattern consists of more squats with overhead press and hinges with rows more this time with weights. This set is followed by bursts of fast lunges.
The third cardiovascular pattern plie squats rotating into a lunge with an upright row and moves into push ups (ugh! Those of us who are built like kangaroos do
not appreciate push ups!) It is then suggested that we do some awkward back bend/gluten bridge while lifting one hand and reaching across the body contortion that I can’t do…YET!! This is followed by pec flies, lying French press with leg extensions.
Baby mountain climbers make up the third burst session.
The fourth cardio pattern dips, bicep curls, lat rows, side lunges, overhead press and chops with French press.
Fourth burst- side lunges at lightning speed!
A little floor ab work and stretching round out this full body workout.
In this workout it’s easy to increase or decrease the intensity of the workout by using bigger or smaller weights. I used 5 lb. dumbbells for all the weight work since I’m not exactly sure what my fitness level is right now. I felt the exercises were adequately demonstrared through both Jennifer’s descriptions and the camera work during the dumbbell sessions, however, I started lifting weights in high school so I may be more familiar with weight work and proper form than a beginner. Don’t hurt yourself, focus on your former and work up slowly. I give this workout an 8.5 out of 10 on the sweat meter.
