Paul Vincent is the trainer for this workout, and he's super pleasant. His model, Gina, is a woman who has lost like 60 pounds, and has 20 more to lose. She's great, not just because she's not Brooklyn Decker, but because she is still on the road to whatever her ideal is, and she can still really work out hard.
It's a hard workout - I had to modify some of it, but if I'm being honest I could have done it all. I'm just tired. And have lost the will to live, let alone work out, but that's probably for a different blog entirely, ha!
It's eight moves but you do them three times and you do them for what feels like a long time. Let me see if I can remember. The girls were awake while I did it so it's been sort of scattered for me. You do 1) jumping lunges, 2) crunches and rolls, where you do five crunches and then put up your legs and arms and roll over twice, without dropping your legs or arms. 3) a superman move, 4) a bridge move 5) pushups with a side opening in between, 6) plank pushups, (modification - the real move was a plank position, then you cross your legs from one side to the other, which, well, forget it) 7) this move where you put your arms out to either side and push them up so your hands are above your head, and then pull them back down, the whole time pushing your elbows back, as if your arms were sliding along a wall behind you. It's harder than it sounds. 8) I forgot, the first move is a kettlebell throw, where you hold a weight and squat down and then come up, throwing the weight above your head.
So, it was a hard but do-able workout. He's a great trainer, big into form and reminding you of it. You do the circuits and he tells you when you are in the last ten seconds and you can really pour it on, which I appreciate. I always feel like you can do ten seconds of anything.
