Slim Series: Mix It Up
Debbie SiebersYear Released: 2003
Categories: Circuit Training (cardio and weights)
This video was just under an hour. Not sure the exact time.
It started with a 5 minute long warm-up - pretty much the same warm-up in all the other videos.
There were two sections of standing weight work, each followed by a short burst of cardio (jogging, jacks). I think the reps were a bit slower in many of these exercises, and she did a lot of compound movements.
Lots of squats and lunges, adding in kicks.
There was standing ab work, and then there was a bit of lying weight work.
She uses dumbbells and tubing, but I stuck with dumbbells.
There was some floor leg work too, which I hate - but I hate them because I find them exhausting.
My heart was in the high end of my zone the entire workout, and I feel that every muscle in my body got a nice toasting over. I used 3s and 5s mostly, only using 8s for the first set of chest presses.
The ab work was pretty traditional. I actually prefer just doing my Joyce ab work at a different time (before my daughter wakes up)
I give this an A.
Instructor Comments:
Debbie is a wonderful instructor. She's warm, engaging, and in great shape. She is very motivating. She is not overly perky and doesn't whoop.
Debbie also struggled with the similar weight issues that I find myself plagued with, so I find it very motivating to see her with her perfect looking body. I actually believe that with smart eating choices and doing the slim series, I could lose the 10-15 pounds, and even see my abs.
