2x2 conditioning Vol 3 DVD review
As you may or may not know, one thing I love to do is review and buy workout DVDs. My favorites are oldies, step, aerobics and weights. I just ordered this DVD to add to my collections of about 100 DVDs. after completing it the first time I must say it wasn’t a favorite, the second time I warmed up to it. The one thing the instructor kept saying is that this is something different, and she was not lying. The whole workout consists of using a stability ball so it’s a must, no getting around it.
Equipment: stability ball (as stated before it is a must)
Length: 58 min including bonus ab portion (but you can do the workout without ab section)
This workout has a pretty dim background with 2 backup talents. The guy is doing the modified version of each workout and the girl is doing the advanced version of each workout. This is what I love because you always have someone to follow along with. There is also a neat time clock in the main workout timing down the 2 minutes of workouts.
Warmup-consist of using the ball (which was my first) about 5-7 minutes of stretching and lounging
Main workout- 2 minute drills taking turns with cardio and strength. Length around 30 minutes. Use the ball the whole time. Cardio consist of up/downs, skaters 2 variations, shuffles mostly low impact. Strength consists of pushups, superman’s, squats and back lounges.
Stretch – consist of using the ball as well basically a repeat of the warmup stretches.
Bonus core on ball- 15 minutes of core work using the ball, crunches, twist, windshield wipers and more.
Overall this was a workout that truly takes you out your comfort zone again it’s not my favorite using the ball the whole time but, I will keep and add to the collection.
