I have to admit to being lax with including reviews up here. I still owe legs, but since I did Total Body this morning, I'll put my 2 cents in for that. I should add, I gave blood 2 days ago, so I was definitely struggling a bit more than usual today.
Once again, it's the standard warmup. It's not bad for this workout, but I would still like to see some stretching in the warmup. On the upside, it keeps the workout time down. Speaking of time, the actual workout is only 23 minutes...how hard could it be? We already know the answer to that....as hard as you make it.
Like so many of the other videos, this is a circuit based workout. The format is slightly different as there is a brief demo before each circuit. Which doubles as a nice rest.
The first circuit is core based and consists of only a pair of exercises. One a crunch, the other a plank. Repeat twice. The ab one I definitely felt.
The second circuit is were you start to feel it. Pushups, followed by dumbbell swing throughs. You hold a dumbbell with both hands, swing it between your legs, and stop it at face level. The last exercise is clap pushups. You do this circuit twice as well and stacking clap push ups and regular push ups is tough. The guy in the front of this video makes them look easy. I swear he could push himself up to the standing position.
There are a few more circuits, several new exercises. Definitely some tough moves, especially if you use dumbbells. The last circuit is 4 moves, finishing with a "long" jump. My jump was not that long at the end.
As labeled, it's a Total Body workout that burns you up pretty good in under 30 minutes total.
