R.I.P.P.E.D. Total Body Challenge

Terry & Tina Shorter, 2013

This dvd contains five 6-10 minute segments and a warmup & cooldown, led by Terry or Tina. The DVD also contains a 5 min bonus ab routine. You will need dumbbells for this DVD. The Shorters work out in a nice gym with a group of exercisers, one showing beginner mods & one advanced. Also included prior to each section is an optional tutorial. 

Some segments are all cardio, some all strength, and some include both and all have a focus: intensity, plyometrics, boxing, etc. Exercises include: air rope, squat jacks, fast feet, pliet squats, burpees, Mt. climbers, pushups, unweighted low back fly, mogul & jack combo, floor touch squats, punch & knee pull combos, blocks & kicks, push up to side plank and piston rows.

Bonus Abs: towel to knee pull down, side bends, lying leg extensions, side knee pulls, and figure 8's. 

I rate this an intermediate routine. The Shorters are perky and provide great form pointers & motivation. The time really flies in this workout and each workout is very unique from each other. I got a great workout and I like that even beginning exercisers can benefit from this workout by utilizing the tutorials and beginner modifications. I received this dvd to review.
