xfactor glutes&thighs, abs, yoga

April 17, 2012

i did the xfactor add-ons today...

first 'glutes & thighs' which was led by a blonde girl who

reminded me a little bit of janis saffell (slim with long blonde

hair and a similar voice). although she introduced the other

girls with her (lauren the crazy puncher is one), i did not catch

her own name. this workout was shorter and easier than i

expected... it is meant to add-on to other workouts for an extra

lower body blast. there is no warmup or cooldown and is about 15

mins long. this workout was ok, some good variety but you dont

do anything for very long -- just 30 seconds per exercise. even

less if the exercise is to be done on both the left and right

sides. in those cases you also have to count your own reps

because she might not cue to switch sides at the right time.

then came 'abs' which was led my nahesi crawford... yay! ::

hugging nahesi :

again, meant as an add-on so there is no warmup or cooldown.

im sorry to say that i did not like this workout. in ten

minutes, he tries to cram in 17 ab exercises, each done for 30

seconds. so it gets pretty manic, especially near the end, with

no transition times. at least it is all done on the floor so

there is no getting up and down, but there are transitions from

your back, to kneeling, to your stomach, to sitting. also he

is even worse for not giving enough time to do each side evenly,

so again you have to count your own reps. they go so fast that

i missed a couple of exercises because i was still doing the one

from before. all of the exercises are good but the presentation

of this workout is crap... they could have made it longer or not

tried to do so much at such as fast pace.

last, yoga with that janis-like girl again which was supposed to

be 25 mins but i didnt make it to the end. it started out ok

but i lost interest after, oh 15 mins, and i did my own stretches

while she talked on and on... blah blah blah. she seems nice and

all, but she is never quiet.

soooo, i will definitely be subbing for these three workouts for

the next 7 weeks (which is fun, so i dont mind)
