Cardio Party
November 5, 2006
Last night I did Cardio Party 1 from Turbo Jam. Well, I guess officially it is just Cardio Party, but I say Cardio Party 1 because there is a Cardio Party 2, Cardio Party Remix and a Cardio Party 3.
When this set came out, a lot of people liked Cardio Party 2, which was a free add on for awhile, but didn’t like Cardio Party 1 too much. I don’t know why. I like CP1 much better than CP2. Granted I felt slightly bored within the first 10 minutes, but got more energy a few minutes later. The workout itself is about 40 minutes long and man, I was working it!
During the first section, I was like, “oh is this over yet?” and then I realized that we had to repeat the same sequence on the other side, but I got over it. I think I like this one better than CP2 because it is intense, but not as intense as CP2. I just liked the sequencing better in CP1. She also throws these things called “turbos” in – kind of towards the end of the workout. A turbo lasts about a minute and a half and she really ups the intensity during that time. It’s supposed to push you until you are working anaerobically and get your heart rate waaaay up. I think what is good about the turbo in this one is that she doesn’t have you do those football drills. I hate those.
Since it was only about 40 minutes long, I thought I was going to be able to do a short add on cardio, but nope. I was too wasted after this video. Whoo whooo!
I think I am going to try a rotation that is high weight/low rep and cardio instead of mostly moderate to heavy weight and cardio. I think I can stick with that. I was going to do a straight Jari Love and cardio thing, but I figured I might get really tired of that in a short time. I was thinking about doing a Slim in 6 DVD tonight, but I haven’t decided yet – mostly because I think I kind of threw out one of my elbows with all of the punches last night. Um, Doh!
