So I mentioned that I am evaluating a TRX suspension system, by Fitness Anywhere, via a 12-week fitness program. Today was Day 10.
Today was a "rest" strength day and an "alternate" cardio day. Last time this happened I did yoga, which gave me a good stretch, but this time I wanted something a little more active. So I opted for the lower body workout of The Pit Workout
This DVD contains three workouts by John Hackleman, trainer of MMA fighter Chuck Liddell---upper body, lower body, and full body. Note that this is not Tae Bo. In fact, my legs were smoked after just the warmup, and I ended up not being able to complete the entire workout, at least at John Hackleman's pace. But I made it through as best I could.
The workout is ideal if you have a heavy bag handy, but the neat thing is that they show how to do the drills when you do not have a heavy bag. But even without the heavy bag, this was (for me at the moment) a tough workout. And trying to do one-legged jump rope at the end of the workout was quite humorous. In terms of the quality of the workout, by calories/minute, this workout ranks in the top 10 of my workouts in the past five months (i.e., since I've been recording workout statistics). You are collecting your workout statistics, aren't you?
Anyway, for the price, this workout DVD is a no-brainer for getting in an alternate cardio workout that is actually useful in real life. I'll be coming back to these workouts for a very long time.
