Your Personal Best take 1
Who: Radagast and SO
Exercise type: Your Personal Best Workout withElle Macpherson Karen Voight1
Portions of tape: warmup, aerobics 1, toning 1, aerobics 2, tonight 2, aerobics 3, toning 3, stretch
Duration: ~60 minutes
Notes: This workout, a combination of light toning and aerobics, seemed like a slightly easier version of Kathy Smith's Body Basics. The moves were easy to follow, the cuing was good, and my SO and I were able to do virtually all the moves on the first try. The aerobics were broken up by the toning, and thus we never felt exhausted by them. This workout does use a chair and light weights, though my SO and I both felt our muscles working even without weights. We both liked the music ('80s pop) and backgrounds (a mix of natural areas in Hawaii).
We feel that we're progressing in our fitness, since we were able to get through the entire tape without stopping, and we didn't feel wiped out at the end (unlike when we did Body Basics for the first time).
Radagast's totals: 74/225; 10/75; $520.00
Radagast's SO's totals: 73/225; 14/75; $82.50
1 OK, the actual title is "Your Personal Best Workout with Elle Macpherson, featuring Karen Voight," but as one review on Video Fitness said, "Next to Karen, Elle looks like a skinny kid trying to keep up."
