I received this BRAND NEW Jessica Smith fitness DVD last night and was able to do it this morning so I could share this review with you.
There are (6) workouts on this dvd plus a bonus chair stretch.
Each workout starts off with about a one minute warm up and then jumps right into the workout. If you get up early to exercise like I do, I suggest more of a warm up on your own. Obviously since these workouts are only 10 minutes she doesn’t have time for a proper warm up or cool down after each segment.
Workouts 1, 3 and 4 are the CARDIO segments so no equipment and great higher heart rate.
Workouts 2, 5 and 6 are the STRENGTH TRAINING segments so its helpful to use LIGHT hand weights. Debbie the modifier doesn’t use any weights so that is an option. Although you continue to walk during these segments which is great for step counting, you will have a lower heart rate since you’re doing strength training and going slower.
The main menu gives you the option to “play all”, “mix and match”, or do the “premixes”.
I did the mix and match to select different workouts but it only let me click on one workout at one time instead of selecting multiple ones and then pressing play. Not a big deal because it takes 2 seconds to select another workout once its done.
The music is great during this entire workout. I really loved it! Jessica is in the middle and her mom Debbie (the modifier) is on our left and Raquel (showing advanced) is on our right.
There’s a countdown timer on the lower right of the screen.
The bonus chair stretch lasts 12:10 minutes and is a great cool down. You use the chair as a prop for the first 5:30 minutes and then the remaining time you sit in the chair for additional stretching. I’m really glad she included this!
(Workout 1) 10:22 minutes.
Has alot of boxing moves
(Workout 2) 10:53 minutes.
Total body workout with weights
(Workout 3) 11:03 minutes.
HIIT workout
(Workout 4) 10:18 minutes.
Dance workout-not too “dancey” because I was able to do it. 😉
(Workout 5) 10:45 minutes.
Focuses on arms and abs with 2 weights and then 1 weight towards the end.
(Workout 6) 10:40 minutes.
Focuses on legs with lunges and squats using 2 weights.
Overall I love this DVD! It’s not complicated to follow and I love that I can pick and choose different segments to do. 10 minute walks are great for when I need a quick workout or need a 10 minute warm up before doing something else.
