Allie Del Rio, 2006 ***** (4.5 of 5 stars based on using real weights not the stick)
This dvd was originally packaged w/ a 9 lb sculpting stick. I used dumbbells as 9 lbs total is just too light to do anything and got a great little workout. Allie works out with 2 backgrounders in an open white & hardwood studio. This 20 minute strength workout done w/ heavier weights will provide a cardio effect.
Most exercises Allie will perform the lower then the upper body work and then combo them. Exercises include: squats with press, lunge & overhead press, dip & front raise, side lunge & row, bi curl & squat, deadlift & tri kickbacks, lying outer & inner thigh raises, walking hi planks, weighted V twists, double crunches w/ the stick behind the knees, and concludes with a stretch.
Done with the stick, this is a beginner workout but adjust your poundage to get a more challenging workout. Allie is a good lead and this workout moves right along. With heavier weights I got a great w/o in only 20 minutes. Good pace, good cuing, & good form pointers. No baby talk :) Good for days when you are short on time but want to get a bit of everything done.
Today's Tip: Buy Organic Potatoes
Root vegetables absorb herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides that wind up in soil. In the case of potatoes are treated with fungicides, then sprayed with herbicides to kill off the fibrous vines before harvesting. After they’re dug up, the potatoes are treated yet again to prevent them from sprouting. “Try this experiment: Buy a potato and try to get it to sprout. It won’t. Even potato growers say they would never eat the potatoes they sell. They have separate plots where they grow potatoes for themselves without chemicals.” Read more on EcoKaren.
