Ready Step Go with Kelly Coffey-Meyer Instructional DVD Video
Kelly Coffey-Meyer intermixes
higher-impact floor aerobics with interesting step combinations. From
bounces, jumps and twists to jacks, pendulums and martial arts kicks, the
variety and challenge never subside. Not a lot of repetition, each
fast-paced, add-on routine builds to completion in just five to six minutes
(then it's on to something new). The "intensity bursts" really raise your
heart rate; they include wide-ranging lateral and low-to-the-floor moves
plus some higher-impact plyometrics. The step segments feature a medley of
creative patterns that use the bench both sideways and toward the TV. Ends
with an ab-focused (toning-ish) cooldown. Kelly Coffey-Meyer's cuing and
pacing is superb; she always seems to know exactly when to add a new move.
This step workout is designed to get you fit using traditional step combos
combined with intensity moves. This format takes you through all the moves
needed to get great results with continued use. 56 mins. DVD-Region 1.

Complete Cardio Sculpting with Kelly Coffey-Meyer Instructional DVD Video
Kelly Coffey-Meyer sets this
body-part-focused toning intervals alternated with unusually fast-paced
cardio "bursts". It's a format that's both challenging and time-efficient.
Each toning segment targets a specific muscle group with four to six
weight-room-style exercise variations (e.g. four distinct bicep curls -
different positions, different tempos, different angles). The step-aerobic
cardio intervals are intense - from knee ups and jogs to plyometrics and
jumping jacks (done for serious fat-burning, not just easy rests between
toning sections). Throughout, Kelly Coffey-Meyer consistently emphasizes
those minor tweaks that can make an ordinary move even more effective. With
continued use, you'll see wonderful changes in you overall physique. Kelly
has taken proven weight training exercises from the gym and altered them for
a great home workout. Each muscle group will be worked to its entirety
before moving to the next body part. The key to this workout is the active
rest. Instead of waiting for your next set, she will keep you moving with
cardio moves that offer their own unique benefits. There will be no muscle
left un-sculpted when this workout ends. Requires two sets of dumbbells (e.g.
3 and 5 lb.) 52 mins. DVD-Region 1.

IMAX 3 Instructional DVD Video
This is a fast paced 60 minute
workout consisting of a 9 minute warm up, 10 mini step combos alternated
with 10 interval blasts, and a cool down complete with a stretch. For the
most part, each step combo will be familiar moves put together in a
refreshing way. A couple of new moves will be mixed in here and there to
keep you on your toes. Keeping with tradition, the 32 count step combos
will each be repeated 6 times before moving into the intensity blasts. The
intensity blasts are at times longer than the step combos themselves.
Each blast consists of a combination of about 2 to 3 intense moves (per
blast) that repeats itself about 4 times (per blast) and gradually brings
you to your lactate threshold. You will find that all the blasts vary in
length and intensity keeping your muscles challenged and inspired. To
really up the overall challenge, we have even reduced the recovery time
between some of the "milder" intervals. A cool down will follow the last
blast and then a relaxing stretch will complete the workout. The music, by Bk Howe Productions, is a mix of mostly recognizable top 40, dance, and
club music. Just as in Low Max, both instrumental and lyrical mixes make
this upbeat and energetic soundtrack a perfect compliment to the workout. DVD-All-Region.

height lower than 6 inches is fine as long as your heart rate remains in
its training zone for the duration of the workout. Total Body Sculpting

muscles while burning fat and calories. The workout features a stability
ball and 3 pound hand weights. Be sure to increase your weight selection

Body Blast Volume 2 Instructional DVD Video
Includes 2 Workouts: Kick, Punch & Crunch and Legs & Glutes
with Cathe Friedrich. Legs & Glutes: Legs and Glutes is a comprehensive
lower body workout that incorporates traditional and non-traditional
exercises as well as standing and floor exercises to strengthen and shape
the leg and glute area. You will experience new and refreshing exercises
all performed in unique ways (i.e.: heavy weight, no weight, with
equipment, without equipment, fast reps, slow reps, bonus reps, rhythmic
reps etc.). Be ready to get set and go as there is very little rest time
between the exercises. Kick, Punch, & Crunch: This workout starts with a
7 minute warm up and gradually moves into a faster paced warm up of intermediate intensity (since it really starts to pick up
the intensity toward the end). After the 13 minute mark, you will
really kick it up to high intensity levels for another 20 to 25 minutes.
During this time you will be doing kickbox conditioning drills which are
put in an interval style format of pushing hard, recovering briefly and
pushing hard again. This segment is mostly high impact, however, there are
also some high intensity low impact drills included (the last drill, one
of the hardest, is HIGH intensity, LOW impact, at its best,....Hammer
Punch with a drop lunge into a Knee Smash....24 per side, yikes). After
this segment, you are good and fried, however, the show must go on.
You will then do three punching and kicking combinations. Each one
consists of a punching combination (ex: double jab high, double jab low, a
triple jab/cross/jab and then a cross punch with hesitation), followed by
a kicking combination (ex: knee chamber, into roundhouse kick, into drop
squat back, into jump roundhouse kick forward). This segment also keeps
the heart rate up because each combination features jump kicks. Now we
move on to ab work on the stability ball. We will do crunches, wood chops
with weight (optional), and pikes with knee rolls. Finally, its time to
enjoy a nice relaxing stretch with a soothing Asian melody. The other parts of the soundtrack are all instrumental with a strong
downbeat to suit the mood of the movement. You will hear the ever so
motivating song "I WANNA ROCK" on
your first punch/kick combination. Get ready to SWEAT!!!! 119 mins. (2003) DVD-All-Region.
