Fitness Favorites presents digitally remastered FIRM, FitPrime, & KickButt favorites, some for the first time EVER on dvd! Stay tuned for detailed reviews of more awesome Fitness Favorite dvds and below is my review of FitPrime Live G-Force 3 and 4, now available on DVD. Read my reviews below of these two fab workouts on two DVDs in one convenient case.
Anna Benson, 2014
Anna leads this 49 min rebounding, weights, pilates, & yoga workout in a live class with a lace backdrop. You will need dumbbells, a weighted ball, a tall box, and a rebounder.
The quick warmup includes some jogging, jacks, and hip twists on the rebounder, then weighted warrior lunges, rows, plank to low hover, up & down dog holds, interspersed stretches with & without the dowel, a fun seated ball work series that targets the core, one legged bouncing, seated overhead tri work, low squat hold & pulse, split stance lunge holds adding row, kneeling free fall to rebounder & pushing back up, squats, and dowel balance hold. The last 25 min is pilates & yoga work: down dog to the box, 3 leg dog to the box, twists, one leg bridge to modified shoulder stand, roll up to V hold & back, shoulder stand with bicycle legs, and concludes with a corpse pose.
There are definitely some advanced yoga poses in this workout but overall it is an intermediate level. Anna is very quirky and is obviously having a good time instructing. The workout contains a little bit of a lot of things so its good for a day when you are looking for variety. I received this DVD to review.
FitPrime Live G-Force 4
Carissa Foster, Tracie Long, Cindy Thorp, Eleanor Washburn, 2014
The master instructors lead this 51 minute rebounding, floor cardio & weights workout in a live class setting. You will need your rebounder, a tall box, a weighted ball, and dumbbells for this workout.
After a warmup and very long stretch you move into a slow bounce series building on with adding arms & tempo variations, weighted split plie's off the rebounder adding bi curls, hi knee jog adding clean & press arms, lat rows, balance French press, military press, leg press, hover squats, double jacks, a med ball floor cardio routine, jumps, lat raise, rear delt fly, and concludes with a pilates inspired core sequence, stretch and cool down. Pilates work includes plank, down dog, bird god, rolling like a ball, leg drops, single leg stretch, bicycle, and side lying leg raises.
I rate this an intermediate routine. It is mostly strength with just a few rebounding segments. You can easily modify the intensity up or down or omit equipment to make this workout work for you. Great instruction and easy choreo make this a great routine for exercisers of any level. Love the live class feel, including some technical difficulties with the mike - makes you feel like you are right there with your FIRM gals. I received this DVD to review.
