Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I'm a big fan of boot-camp style workouts and this is definitely a new favorite! You can pick between a 30-minute or a 50-min workout and between dance/pop and alternative/rock background music. The workout is in 30 second intervals: 30 seconds of marching, jogging, running, or jumping jacks alternating with a targeted exercise). The marching/running portions are broken into 3 "gears." As the workout progresses, the gear increases. Be forewarned: this workout is NON-STOP!! Absolutely no breaks (actually, the marching gear might feel like a break, but just wait 'til you start running!!)
The moves are basic and easy to follow. There's also a modifier for beginners (that ACTUALLY does real modifications!)
Harvey might be an acquired taste for some. I personally find him motivating and his military style barking somewhat comical but if you don't like feeling as if someone is shouting orders at you, you might not like his personality. He is very blunt ("I don't mind and you don't matter."), doesn't sugar coat anything ("Get off your fat wide butt."), and might even seem a bit insulting (he keeps calling Gian, one of the exercisers, "Gyland" throughout the workout, asks him what his name is but keeps calling him by the wrong name--kind of becomes a running joke) but Harvey can be pretty funny and actually says a kind word or two to his background exercisers.
One downside is that some of the camera angles can get pretty crazy but the moves really are soooo easy to follow that it pretty much makes up for it. (But be advised modifiers: there is one exercise that is almost complete before you see what the modified version is--but only once.)
INITIATION: A 2 1/2 minute "pep talk"/how the workout program works
30 MINUTE WORKOUT:
Warm Up: March in place to marching combo (march wide-low-forward-up-down-back-up-in), twists and high knees, shadow jabs, cross jabs, and upper cuts, stretches (calf, hamstring, quad, groin, and back stretches; "kung-fu balance" and ankle rotations)
First Gear: Marching
Jumping jacks, scissor jacks, side leaps, "Beat Those Boots" (squats but low enough to touch your shoes), side squats, step back lunges, single leg squats
Second Gear: Light Jogging
Knee pumps, Jab Jab Kick A-- (just regular jab punches)
Third Gear: Jumping Jacks
Jab Jab Kick A--, Upper-cuts
Third Gear: Regular Jog/Running
Push-ups (3 down, 1 up count), push-ups (1 down, 3 up count), one-leg burpies, crunches, bicycle crunches, two count leg lifts, jack knives, back extensions (a.k.a "supermans")
Cool Down: Downgrading from running to jogging to marching. Neck rolls, shoulder rolls, tricep, lat, and chest stretches, seated groin stretch, lying hamstring, lower back, quad stretches, "preying mantis" (a.k.a "cobra"), and child's pose
50 MINUTE WORKOUT (A 20-min continuation of the 30 minute workout, picks up after the back extensions):
Third Gear: Regular Jog/Running
Jumping Jacks, suicide jacks, suicide side leaps (regular side leaps w/ longer strides), jump squats, "Beat Those Boots", "Lunge with a Switch", One-legged squat with a reach, knee pump with a jab, suicide push-ups (stabilizing on one arm while tapping the opposite shoulder then push-up)
This last four sections don't follow the alternating jog/targeted exercise pattern but go straight from one exercise to the next. After the last exercise, you go into a third gear jog/run:
1. Upper-cuts, slow high knees, regular push-ups, body-builder
2. Double jab kick a-- (front and side jabs), jumping jacks, planks
3. Crunches, bicycle crunches, two count leg lifts, "Hello, Dolly" (crossing legs), plank
4. Back extensions with a Latin pull-down
Cool Down: Same as 30-min workout.
