I got these on Aug. 10 and started a rotation on Monday. I’m pairing two to get a 30-minute session each day.

Push and Pull - these are strength workouts, slow and heavy. I liked them because they are simple and straightforward. I was almost wishing for a third set of each exercise but that’s probably because I need to go heavier.

Shadowboxing - nice low-impact sculpting/cardio. I started with 5s and switched to 3s, then 2s, and laddered back up again. I liked the slower pace because it forced me to think about form.

Abdominals (strength dvd) - Excellent routine with a good variety of moves.

Lower Body - similar to the Push and Pull workouts in format - simple and straightforward. Not sure I like the deadlift to squat variation. I remember this from the Pump workout on BoxFit, and I didn’t like it then. It’s only two sets, so I’ll give it another try or switch to regular deadlifts (my favorite lower body move).

Cardio - So, so fun! I loved the ladder format.

I did the universal Warmup on the Sculpt DVD. It was nice but I’m not sure I needed it for the workouts. Maybe I’ll use in the winter when the temps are colder, and I need more time to get warmed up.

Both DVDs are great, and I love Kelly’s relaxed demeanor. Makes me think about subscribing to RAW. Only thing missing is a stretch routine. The cooldowns are very short. I would have loved a 15-minute stretch session.

Kristie,

I appreciate your breakdown of the workouts you've done so far! That deadlift to squat variation was very different. I'm thinking of doing a rotation with these in September. Kelly is always so much fun to work out with, but she means business, too! Love the short format and perfect to get in a workout at any time!

UPDATE:

Box & Tone - loved this one. Kelly does two moves, then repeats and moves on to the next two moves. Each move is one minute. I matched Kelly and the girls with 2 lb egg weights and did fine, no need to pyramid down like I did with Shadowboxing. The combos forced me to concentrate at times, so a nice little brain workout. She gives good form pointers so that you get the most out of the workout, especially where the waistline was involved. For this workout I will do the Warmup with it because I needed a little more prep before I used the egg weights. Kelly said you can also do the first exercise without weights as your warmup.

Abdominals from Sculpt - this is a weighted abs workout. Same one-minute blocks, and Kelly ladders up and back down. (I really enjoy laddered workouts - not sure why but I dig ‘em.) Because of the weights, these moves require concentration and finesse. Again, nice form reminders and pointers.

From Kelly's Total Body Timesaver (Sculpt) DVD, I did three of the fifteen minute workouts today!

Abdominals (uses light dumbbells.) I used 3lbs & Kelly uses 5lbs. Great exercises and nice variety here. Kelly says she's not a fan of ab work, but she does it. She also said that "she's not smiling", but she's kidding.

Cardio Again a nice variety of exercises for the workout being so short. Very effective and you get a workout here. I was sweating by the end. Can modify "most" of the exercises to low impact.

Box & Tone (egg weights are used here) or you can use weighted gloves. This may have been my favorite, but I'm rusty with my punches and pivoting back foot. Easy combos to learn, but get the HR up. Very good!

I've liked all the workouts I've done so far, and can see myself using these! Having just finished Cathe's STS 2.0 90 day rotation, I really need get back into the cardio routine again, and these will be a quick way to do just that!

Would anyone like my RAW DVDs? I just don't think they're for me.

owltx · 08-23-23, 02:55 PM

I am hoping she gets them on her RAW app soon - eager to try them!

*raises hand* I'd love them if they're still available. I've been waiting to see if Amazon will have them but nothing yet so far.

-- I was too late for Juliepie's offer, so I'll still wait for Amazon. If anyone sees them there, please let us know!

What was it about these workouts that led you to that conclusion?
