Workout: One-On-One Training with Jackie
|
| ||||||||||||
 Comprehensive workout!! This is one of the best workout DVD's I have ever tried. It is broken down into three twenty minute workouts consisting of the upper body, lower body, and the core. This is a great idea. Many people complain that they don't have time to workout because most workout videos are about 45 -60 minutes long (some longer!). This makes it really intimidating when you are trying to start exercising, or if it has been a while since you have had an exercise routine. But with this DVD, it is hard to find an excuse not to exercise for twenty minutes a day. And for those of you who workout regularly, you can do all three workouts at a time. As for each of the three workouts, they are all intense. Jackie definitely makes each second count. You get in, get your workout, get out and get on with your day. I have only been doing this workout for the last four days, but I have already had my energy level shoot up. I seem to get a lot more done. I had just recently started working out again, so I have only been doing one of the workouts a day. I started with the upper body workout. I have been working out with weights, and thought I was doing pretty well. But the day after doing this workout, I was sore in muscles I completely forgot I had. Not so sore that I was useless, but sore enough to remember I had worked out the day before. The next day I did the lower body workout, and boy was that intense. There were some moves I had not seen before that really seemed to target the inner thigh. I was not able to go as deep into every move as the trainers did, but I still felt it the next day. And of course I did the core workout the next morning. I definitely had to do the modified version on some moves, but I still reached muscles that have not been worked in years. I have to say again how much I am enjoying this workout DVD. It targets every muscle group, and since it is so fast-paced you do get a cardio workout as well. I find Jackie and her trainers to be highly motivational. They are all friendly and inspiring. I will definitely be using this DVD as my main exercise. Thanks so much Jackie!!  DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY BORING, NOT MOTIVATIONAL, TRAINERS WITH TONS OF MAKEUP, EVEN THEIR ABDOMINALS HAD BEEN RETOUCHED WITH MAKE UP. DID NOT DELIVER.  short but intense! The good thing about this workout dvd is there are three 20 minute segments and each segment targets a different part of your body: upper, core and lower. So you can do one at a time or all of them if you want a longer routine. 20 minutes is good because it's short. But it is intense- Jackie utalizes every second in each routine going from exercise to exercise quickly so you get some cardio in as well as strength training. The other good thing about this dvd is her trainers show you different variations of all the moves so whether you are a beginner or more advanced you can do each move on your own level. I do this with Jillian Michael's 30 day shred and the results I'm getting with them is amazing. The main thing with exercise and being successful is you have to stay consistent and don't expect miracle results. Results will come if you continue, don't even give up and be patient. If you do an exercise routine and only give 50%, you will only get 50% results. You get what you put in. Highly recommended I began exercising regularly about six months ago, alternating resistance training with cardio work and yoga. I do not belong to a gym and so rely largely on video workouts. My favorites are the Biggest Loser series, Jillian Michaels routines, and a DVD called Yoga For Every Body (With Over 35 Routines). I've lost over twenty pounds and am now at a healthy weight and can really see the results. I no longer get winded like I used to and am starting to see some great muscle definition. I can't say enough about how much I like Jackie Warner's new video. One of my favorite things about it is that she has broken down the three routines into Upper Body, Lower Body, and Abs. So you can alternate days thus giving your muscles time to rest and repair. This is a HUGE draw to me. Each routine is about 21.5 minutes including the warm up and cool down. The warm ups and cool downs are also uniquely designed for each specific workout. The exercises are quite varied and you feel like you're getting a thorough workout. They are mostly strength training with some cardio interspersed throughout. She also gives you modifications to make the exercises easier or more challenging. Throughout the routines, Jackie's great about telling you exactly which muscles you're working, why you're working them, and where you should feel the exercise. Her attention to form is excellent which is so important when you're working out on your own at home and don't have anyone to tell you if you're doing an exercise properly. This video is definitely going to be a staple in my exercise repertoire. I hope there are more to come because this is exactly what I want in an exercise DVD! | |||||||||||||
