Tonergy HIIT and Plyometrics
Nikki Dastrup, 2015

This is a 51 min cardio & plyo HIIT workout. Nikki does not lead this routine but is there working hard with 4 other backgrounders. The instructor does show modification options. You wont need any equipment for this routine and you will need to add on your own warm up & cool down.

Each round is performed 3 times and contains five 30 second intervals that increase in intensity. You get 30 seconds between rounds. Exercises include squat holds, squat pulses, squat jacks, squat jumps, tuck jumps, fast jacks, plank jacks, squat jacks, low criss cross jacks, burpee with plank jack & pushup, plank, Mt climber, plyo gorilla hops, 1/2 burpees, burpee with a tuck jump, jog, jump rope with heels, hi knee jump rope, low speed rope, and double under tucks, boxers shuffe, pendulum tap outs, and skater floor touch variations. 

This is an advanced workout. The rest breaks are much needed as you go strong for 2.5 minutes nonstop. You will work hard in this one- I was dripping with sweat by the end! This is a great cardio addition to the well-rounded 6 disc set. I received this set to review.

P.S. Fitness Funny. During the rest breaks, motivational sayings come up on the screen. One says "Believe in Yourself" so my 9 year old niece says "believe in yourself Lindsey" I said "I believe Im gonna die" so she sings (in the tune of I believe I can fly) "I believe Ima die" It was hilarious lol

Tonergy Assets and Abs
Nikki Dastrup, 2015

This is a 58 min core, booty, and inner thigh routine done entirely on the floor. You start with about 35 minutes of floor core work, then move onto the lower body. Nikki works out in a gym set with 5 background exercisers, one performing easier modifications. You will need dumbbells for this routine.You will need to add on your own warm up & cool down.

Exercises include weighted & unweighted variations of: crunches, double crunches, single leg drops, toe reaches, oblique jack knife, penguin heel taps, diagonal knee taps, rope climb, V sit variations, a side plank series, a donkey kick series, and a weighted side lying inner thigh series.

This is a very advanced core routine and the lower body portion is also killer. I like to use 10-15 min of the core work each day, which still has my core screaming! My lower body was def feeling it the next day. Nikki provides tempo and count variations for each exercise to give you some variety and really hit those abs and she provides great form pointers. You do get a bit of much needed down time between exercises. I received this set to review.

Operation Tonergy: Hardcore 
Nikki Dastrup, 2015

This is a 46 minute cardio & strength tabata style workout. Nikki does not lead this workout but is in the group working hard with 4 others, one showing easier modifications. You will need dumbbells for this workout. You will need to add on your own warm up & cool down. 

You will perform one exercise for 3 minutes: 25 seconds on & 5 seconds rest, followed by 2 minutes of manmakers: 50 on 10 off. Manmakers are weighted burpees down to a pushup, a renegade row, another pushup, and a renegade row on the other side. You get 30 seconds of rest between sets. Exercise sets include: weighted squat jacks, squat & overhead press, kettlebell swings, plyo lunges & overhead press, weighted burpees, pushup & renegade rows, and isolation squat & bi curl.

This is an advanced workout that had my heart pumping & left me sore the next day. The pace is quick and all of the moves are compound so you dont need heavy weights, I used 8's & 10's. You can tell the group is working hard & everyone goes at their pace. Great cardio and great strength work in this one!!! I received this DVD to review.

Operation Tonergy: Lethal Ladders

Nikki Dastrup, 2015

Nikki does not lead this workout but is in the group working hard with 4 others, one showing easier modifications. You will need dumbbells for a few exercises. You will perform 2 exercises from 1 up to 10 reps each followed by a one minute rest, and then move on to the next set of 2 exercises. This strength ladder is mostly body weight with some dumbbell exercises and some cardio. You will need to add on your own warm up & cool down.

Exercise sets include: kneeling shoulder press & pushups, bear crawl pushups & 1/2 burpees, plank jack pushups & kneeling rows, V crunch & v toe reaches,  plyo lunges & burpee plank jacks, kneeling french press & tri pushups, and burpee & plyo plies. 

I rate this an advanced workout, but not insane-level advanced. They provide enough breaks to let you recover and continue to give it your all. There is no wasted time and the instructor provides good form pointers. You will work your tris, chest, back, shoulders, and core in this routine- a total of 55 reps per exercise by the time you reach the top of the ladder! I used 5-8 lbs and def felt the burn. The instructor does a great job of not going from floor to standing as she has you do kneeling exercises- genius. I received this DVD to review.

Tonergy Total Body Burnout

Nikki Dastrup, 2015

Nikki leads this 65 minute strength workout in a gym with 5 backgrounders. You will need dumbbells for this routine. You will perform 8 circuits, 6 one minute exercises per circuit followed by a rest. Each circuit focuses on one body part. You will need to add on your own warmup & cooldown.

I rate this an advanced routine because Nikki really burns out each muscle group before moving on to the next. I used 5 & 8 lb weights & was def feeling the burn in my shoulders, bis, tris, back, & lower body.  The timed intervals allow you to go at your own pace making this DVD easy to adapt to your own fitness level. Nikki is very encouraging & provides good firm pointers. I am loving this set! I received this dvd to review.

Operation Tonergy: Back to the Basics

Nikki Dastrup, 2015

Nikki does not lead this workout but is a background exerciser along with 4 others. You will not need any equipment for this 67 minute bodyweight strength & cardio workout. The group works out in a gym and a modifier is provided. You will need to perform your own warm up & cool down.

You will perform 30 seconds strength followed by 30 seconds of cardio for 3 rounds followed by a 30 second rest. Exercises include: squats & squat jumps, plank & pushups, crunches & V crunches, fast feet to burpees, lunges & lunge hops, plank & walk out planks, side plank & side jack knife, squats & jacks, squat & pop squat, squat to plank, supine leg drops & reverse crunches, jack & jabs, plie & plyo plie, plank & burpees, fast knees & butt kicks, toe tap hops, plank & burpees, and sit ups & V drops. 

I rate this a very high intermediate/ low advanced routine. I really like the format, you hit it hard for 3 minutes then get a 30 second rest. The timed intervals allow you to go at your own pace. The intensity of this routine was perfect me- got me working HARD but not wanting to die, I foresee no dread factor with these workouts! Even without weights I got a nice lower body & core burn and the cardio really had my heart pumping throughout the workout. Great athletic cardio and the instructor provides good cuing & motivation. I received this DVD to review.

Interview with Tonergy Creator Nikki Dastrup

I recently had the opportunity to "interview" Tonergy creator Nikki Dastrup and I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE her energy, passion, and of course her workouts! Operation Tonergy is dedicated to making you LOOK and FEEL great inside and out. Nikki encourages people of all ages, shapes, sizes and fitness levels to be the best they can be. Read our interview below & stay tuned on the blog for detailed reviews of her workouts. 

Lindsey: How did Tonergy begin? 

Nikki: I started Tonergy in the summer of 2012 after I had nearly lost everything due to addiction. I was 26 years old, living in my parents basement and was near the point that death was the only option for me. Fitness had always been a passion of mine and I had been an instructor for 7 years prior. My mom hated seeing me like this (thank God for moms!!) and suggested I start a group training company in the small town of 1500 that I had just moved to. From there it prospered. I was in rehab at the time and was taking the lessons I was learning from rehab on self love and applying them to my group fitness classes. I learned through this experience that is all we need is one single person (in my case it was my mom) to believe in us and with that the sky is the limit. 

Lindsey: Where can we find Tonergy?

Nikki: Tonergy has been in over 11 cities in Utah at one time and 3 cities in Oregon. I was even able to get the program into the curriculum at Oregon State University. Right now I only do Tonergy in my hometown of Milford Utah due to the need to be with my family more, but have sold thousands of DVDs to people all across the United States. My current focus is to grow the company through the DVDs.

Lindsey: Why Fitness DVDS?: 

Nikki: I have tried every avenue possible to be able to reach as many people as I can with my my philosophy on self love and never giving up when I realized that the best way to do this, and most affordable, was to create a DVD series and continue to share the love and belief through social networking. As it's obvious that I'm just getting started, I can't wait to continue spreading the love! Tonergy literally  saved my life and I just want to give back to society what it has given to me ...

Lindsey: Tell us about the 6 DVD Tonergy set? 

Nikki: I developed a 6 set series with two other women who were working toward partnering with me to grow the company. Shortly after I originally released the 6 set series I realized that the other two women were not a good fit with my company and chose to pursue forward on my own. At that point I chose to take 2 discs from the 6 set series (abs and assets & total body burnout) and release them as singles because they are the two workouts that I personally lead. My plan was to continue to only sell those 2 when I received some serious interest in the 6 set from an online retailer. After some back and forth discussion I now am selling both the 6 set and the 2 singles individually. I personally designed each of the workouts in the 6 set series and am madly in love with each one of them. Between the 6 workouts you are guaranteed to hit every single aspect of "fitness" that is possible.

Lindsey:What is one thing you love about Tonergy:

Nikki: I have worked with well over 2000 people in my career and the one thing I hear over and over about Tonergy is that it's something that truly makes them feel beautiful from the inside out, and gives them hope where they can't seem to find any. It's a support system, it's a family, it's a safe zone, and most importantly, it truly does teach people the importance of self love. As I mentioned earlier ... Tonergy is so much more to me then a workout!
