All Pump

Year Released: 2004

Categories: Total Body Workouts


This is a short total body workout with Amy Bento and company. She has about 4 background exercisers, each with different physiques. The background is crisp white walls, wooden floor, and windows. Some small plants gave color and there were some floor lamps. The music wasn't really pumping, but it wasn't annoying either. The production wasn't as crisp as her later work, but it wasn't bad.

As the moves have already been broken down, I'll just add my impressions. Overall, I feel time was well spent! I felt this was a good workout for a day that you don't want to work out too hard but you want to get something in. I feel you could easily make the workout harder by upping the weights or substituting a few exercises out here and there.

I think that this is more of an endurance based workout than a strength based, so those that are hoping for a slow and heavy type workout should not look here. After I was done with this workout, I felt I could have done some cardio afterwards. Great workout if you are short on time, recovering from injury, or just getting back into strength training.

PROS: Workout moved at a good pace. Low dread factor. Amy was very encouraging throughout and moves were clearly explained.

CONS: I felt that the upper body was neglected a bit. I will have to use heavier weights next time. I would have liked to see at least two exercises for the back, two for triceps, and two for biceps with 3 sets of 10 for each. And maybe some calf work.

Instructor Comments:
Amy is lovely with high energy and gives excellent form pointers.
