INTERVAL X PLUS AND ABS/CORE PLUS DVDs from P90X Plus with Tony Horton Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Interval X Plus seems to be a substitute for Plyometrics for P90x grads.As Tony says in his intro, "Interval work is a lot more effective than standard cardiovascular exercise."Plyo is one of my favorite workouts, so I did not look forward to replacing it.This workout is only 41:30 minutes and thankfully so because it is HARD!I had to give myself extra breaks the first time I did it.There is only one break in the middle, I feel this workout needs more little breaks while the Kenpo workouts need fewer breaks, but I guess that would defeat the purpose of Intervals.

Intervals keep the heart rate moving up and down because you are moving at three different speeds.Your "rest" is doing a move at a less intense level for 20 seconds, then you pick it up for the next 20 and go full tilt for the last 20 seconds.After one move you go immediately to the next move at 20 seconds easy pace and so on. You also do Core Synergistic moves like Loading Dock and 3 Count and Prison Cell Push Ups (I HATE those!) which adds to the intensity.After a minute break, you do the same moves again but in the opposite order, so you do the Prison Cell push-ups back-to-back!Ugh!This workout is probably effective as heck, but I dread it!I will add this workout to my rotation once in a while to mix things up, but I will continue to do Plyo more often.

The Abs/Core Plus routine is great!It is 20 minutes, so it is a little longer than Ab Ripper X, but it is over in a flash because there are so many different moves you do and in different positions.You do an exercise hanging from a pull-up bar, then standing with or without light weights, then in a push-up position, and then in a sitting position.Each block of moves includes exercises in all four positions, so there is a lot of variety.It is effective, too!My question is: why is this workout included in Interval X Plus?You do not do Ab Ripper X on Plyo days, so why would you do Ab/Core Plus on Interval days?This workout should have been included on the Total Body Plus DVD.It's a pain to have to put in two different DVDs on Total Body Plus days.

Tony Horton's 10 MINUTE TRAINER 5 Workouts SET - Includes Resistance Band and Other Extras Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received this last week and have completed all of the workouts.Some critism of two DVD's from another reviewing is noted and while it could have fit on one DVD, how can he charge so much for one, so he put it on two.Bad move, but he's making money.Speaking of which, the price is hefty, but WELL WORTH IT.Yes he stands around and talks, because HE IS YOUR PERSONAL TRAINER with this.Individual training sessions in a gym can cost up to $80/hour.He walks you through and explains the moves instead of doing them so you know you are doing them right.He's fit as can be and focuses his attention on you so you can get the same results.

The enclosed workout schedule offers a mix and match approach from one to three routines matched up daily over 4 weeks with one day off a week.10 min a day for min results, 2 routines (20 min) for improved results, and 3 routines (30 min) for max results.Bands are optional but included.My doors are old and so I use weights and or omit the bands.This system is perfect for me.I also have his p90x and love it as well, but sometimes don't have the time to do it.

You can increase or decrease intensity based on your needs and that's why I like it.For total or lower body, my strength, I push it.For upper body and abs, my weakness, I rest and use his modified moves that he shows you, and I can still feel it.YOU CAN GROW WITH THIS PROGRAM and that's why it's pretty cool.Busy, one 10 minute workout and you'll feel it.More time, then do two or three.

As usual for most every workout, the warm up and cool down are short, so I always do it twice or just keep going on my own.Also, his Yoga is a combo of simple yoga for stretching and can be done daily as it really improves flexibility.I can't believe I wrote this much about the program after one week, but it got me off my butt and working out again after I moved and have not worked out in about three months.A+ Tony...and THANKS!
