So as the days passes I have a few topic lingering I wanted to cover, the eternal procrastinator I am afraid. Tonight a friend and BeachBody Coach (BeachBody makes P90x) asked me about my experience with the Billy Blanks Boot Camp DVDs (He makes Tae Bo). I figured I would share my experience in my blog as well since it is a form of cross-training.
Hi, I found Billy Blanks Bootcamp abs and Bootcamp Lower Body at DVD at Goodwill actually, a couple of bucks each. I heard of Tae Bo as well, so I figured what do I have to loose. I was looking for a "different" workout, that combines cardio and strength that I could do easily on an "off day" for cross-training purposes. I have been lacking in cross-training as I ramped up my mileage for my last couple of marathons. I love his DVDs actually. One feature I love is the way he interacts with the viewers. It feels like he is talking to me, catching me in my bad form. For a DVD to do that I think it's great. As I better my form I feel the burn more but I have only done the Lower Body once and the Abs twice so I have space to grow. I don't have the right bands either for the lower body, the one I use have no feet attachment and are short, but I managed through the LOwer Body Boot camp with them.
I throw the DVDs on my off day running or like I did this morning as additional cross-training. I hope it will also boost my fat burn and activate other muscle groups in my body that are under-utilized when I run. I think this is a great series. I can just pop it in my DVD player and voila. I'll be honest I have never been a fan of DVD workouts, but these DVDs are changing my opinion. It's a good introduction to these type of workouts I think.
