10 Pounds Down Weight Loss Cardio Mix

Jessica Smith
Year Released: 2011

Categories: Abs/Core , Floor Aerobics/Hi-Lo/Dance


The dvd has 3 parts: a 40 minute cardio workout, a 10 minute total body, bodyweight workout, and a 10 minute ab segment. You can play any section or play all. Also, warm-up and cool-down are seperately chaptered. The cardio is varied and has kickbox, dance, and athletic elements. The choreography is pretty simple to catch on to. Jessica tends to start with the easier, lower impact move, then ups the intensity.
Total body toner is a nice quick workout using just your bodyweight. I find it reasonably challenging, especially after the main body of the workout. Jessica does some creative twists on familiar moves and packs a lot into only 10 minutes. The same can be said of the abs/core segment. I find it pretty tough, and again the moves are creative. I have trouble completing the whole segment sometimes, depending on my energy level.
This is an intermediate workout. The cardio keeps me in my fat-burning zone and I get a pretty good, thorough workout using all the segments.

Instructor Comments:
I like Jessica more and more the more I use her workouts. She pushes you through the workout and gives clear instructions.
