I decided to commit to doing 10 minutes of cardio exercise every day (except Friday) to help me lose weight this year. To keep things cheap and easy, I found 10 Minute Solution Carb Burner at Netflix in the instant downloads and have been using it this week.Here's what's great about it:
- It's only 10 minutes long
- It doesn't cost anything extra since it's Netflix, and I can use it any time since it's an instant download
- It has 4 different workouts to keep things from getting boring
- It's easy to follow. The host teaches you the steps and then combines them into a circuit
The kickboxing segment is great figure skating training. It develops core strength, balance, and flexibility. Add a figure skating twist to it and change some of those kicks into spirals or spins.
A beginners plyometric session will help you increase height on your jumps. This was the workout that convinced me to try the video.
The intervals workout will help you increase your endurance for programs.
One session includes handweights to increase intensity and calorie burn.
My only real complaint is that by limiting the workouts to 10 minutes, the warm-ups and cool-downs leave a lot to be desired. You will probably want to add your own exercises to do this well.
Here's an update now that I've done all 5 workouts.
ReplyDeleteInterval Burn was just an OK workout.
The metabolism booster is another good workout for skaters. It uses hand weights and spends some time strengthening the upper body. There are a lot of balance and lunge exercises, too, that will help with those spins, spirals, and landing positions.
