Haven’t found the Back & Biceps disk, so I substituted for the One on One Base & Back. Works the same muscles, but in crazy mode! I actually really liked the routine despite its craziness. I can’t count the number of times Tony said that it was the hardest workout he’s done a in a long time. The first time he said it I thought “well, that’s not a good sign.”
The pull ups and chin ups he did were insane. I was modifying for the bands, so I know I didn’t get the same intensity Tony did. But, I was physically able to do approximations of the moves this way. By the end of each set my arms were burning. And I’m guessing they’ll be sore tomorrow.
The “Base” part was legs… in plyo style. Every move was a combination squat-jump. My least favorite part of Plyometrics is when Tony incorporates squats. Yet, I actually found myself liking most of these moves today. Super challenging. But pretty fun.
I like the Base/Leg and Back combo for alternating totally different body parts. And the leg parts are almost cardio (especially in this routine) so the heart rate gets up… and that’s a good thing!
I look forward to doing this routine again. And now that I know what the moves look like I can forward past some of the talking. One minor downside to the One on One DVDs is the amount of talking. But, I’d rather forward through some talking and feel like I got a killer workout.
Sadly, I didn’t make it through Ab Ripper today. Started it, though the first four moves killed my already tired legs. With two moves left I hit stop. Felt too much like I was going to hurl and didn’t thing that would make my morning any better. Maybe yogurt was a bad choice before working out. In my defense, Tony almost hurled at the end of Base & Back.
