The Jay-Lo Fitness Express Workout dvd

The Jay-Lo Fitness Express Workout dvd just delivered in spite of 17 inches of snow so Johnny Loper has already brought some sunshine into my home..

Here are some very quick impressions cuz haven't done it yet.
It is a pressed, silver backed dvd.
There are 4 female background Exercisers in a well lit gym.
Music is nice and loud and clear.
Most of the moves are TaeBo/kickboxing.

There are 3 separate chapters and no Play All or options to combine them
Body Blast 15 minutes looks like cardio (knee raises and kicks)
The Attack 14 minutes slow punching with weights, plyo squats, jumping jacks
The Combo 16 minutes a combination of the above and ends with 5 minutes of mat abs

Though not too many *unique* moves upon preview, I believe the music will keep me moving and am hopeful that Johnny's funkiness will be more present in future endeavors. Then again, this was a very quick preview so there may be more there than caught the eye with alot of fast forwarding. The length of each express workout makes them perfect for sparks!


ETA: Way too many knee raises and kicks in Body Blast but some fun moves near the end on the bungee and I can modify the rest.

Way too many weighted cross punch lunges in second Attack workout.

Way too many knee lift cross punch lunges in the third Combo chapter.

After doing all three chapters, I found all repeated a movement on one side continuously for well over 70 reps which is not fun and could even invite an injury. Buyer's Remorse on this one. Only positive was the loud music.
