On Sunday, I decided to do ALL the Fast 10 workouts. I have the two DVDS, so that is seven workouts.

The plan ran into a couple glitches. I didn't do the "Focus: Butt/Thigh/Abs" one because it was too annoying to wrap the thingie around my leg. And, I wasn't able to complete the whole "Flexibility" workout as there was a freeze up in the middle of the DVD.

All together it took about 75 minutes. I skipped a few exercises and modified a few. I'd do 12 reps of each move and the skip to the next exercise. We have a power rack in our workout room, so I can hook up the bands to that and not have to mess with the door attachment.

Overall, Fast 10 is just OK. I feel like BeachBody took a huge leap backward as far as production values and ambience. (Think Power 90!) In at least one workout, the sound is out of sync. The volume is so low that you have to turn it way up. The set and music are bare bones. Perhaps they are testing the waters to see if Michael George will be a sensation.

Michael George is competent. I didn't find his personality very engaging or motivating. Let's just say, he made me miss Tony!

The upper body workouts were somewhat boring. The flexibility one was pretty good, I'd like to have finished it.

Here comes the funny part. I did the cardio ones on my rebounder with the waist belt attached to our power rack. I was able to modify the moves. This was fun!

Running on the rebounder with the resistance from the belt seemed to engage my core muscles more than sans belt. I'd consider doing that with other rebounding workouts. (And, yes, I did look really goofy!)

These workouts are not a "must have". Unless you travel a lot. Which I don't.
