Manual and Jessica

This morning I continued what I had started yesterday.
First I did the rest of the German Manual video with Beatles MUsic on the bungee then I did the rest of Jessica's Cardio Flow to which I had added Reggae MUsic and some of the Cardio Dance Sculpt to which I had added Broadway MUsic, both routines originally from the Total Body Balance dvd.

Manual's routine really worked the upper body well without weights and while healthbouncing.  When my upper body had enough I would do my own cardio on the bungee till the next move I wanted to follow.
I used the stability ball whenever my right hip and lower back felt tight.

Mallett, Bellicon, alittle Manual and Jessica

This morning I did circuit 4 and the whole routine of Tracey Mallett's Dance Fuse Cardio Melt Interval routine on the bungee except for some ballet moves then did the third circuit on the second workout with Fitstix but stopped for the rest of the workout which was done on the mat/floor.  That gal on the Borgias kneels for no man and I kneel for no instructors LOL
Next I did what may become one of my favorite bungee routines.  I had added MUsic to the Bellicon Dance Party. WOW did this rev my old engine!  What took me so long to try this video file??
The original routine:

Imagine doing the above to Kung Fu Fighting and Maroon5 tunes :)

Then I did alittle of one of the German (wellshaped.tv) youtube routines led by Manual to which I had added Beatle instrumentals then forced myself to leave Manual to switch to Jessica to prevent Hell from freezing over again.  I have added alot of my favorite MUsic to routines by Manual found on
wellshaped.tv - YouTube

Last but certainly not least, some of  Jessicas Total Body Balance Cardio Flow to which I had added Reggae MUsic and lurved it.  I ended up doing it while sitting on a stability ball.

You can purchase the whole Total Body Balance dvd from Jessica, TotalFitness dvds or Collagevideo.  It is perhaps one of the best dvds I ever purchased.

 As much as I liked Cardio Melt, I know I will like it much more with my own MUsic.  There is just something about adding MUsic that makes me want to MUve more. My blog offers alot of tips of how to add MUsic to workouts.

Disclaimers:
The embedded youtube videos above enabled embedding.
The fair use samples above are to illustrate how much better a routine can be with different MUsic.
I am not gaining economically from my editing of workout video files which are for my own private use nor interfering with the sale of workouts for copyright owners. If a copyright owner thinks otherwise, I will immediately remove any of the embedded videos upon request.

Mallett Cardio Melt and Jessica

This morning I did the first 3 circuits of workout1 (intervals) and the first two circuits of workout2 (light weight circuits) from Tracey Malletts Fuse Dance Cardio Melt.  The warmup didn't click for me but it got much better immediately when the first circuit started. The first 2 circuits were bungee friendly and even stability ball friendly. The third had more ballet so was done standing off the bungee but the plies worked with the stability ball.
I liked the weighted moves too and held my Fitstix even through the unweighted moves.  It was like an Ellen but the number of reps were more reasonable and offered more variety in the moves.  The opening punching sequence reminded me of Piloxing.



Overall, I liked the moves alot but couldn't lurve the dvd because the music didn't really click for me so after I do all of the circuits with the cuing, I may replace the soundtrack or add music.

Next I did the first half of Jessica's chair workout to which I had added Irish MUsic and used a band instead of a towel and a stability ball instead of a chair.

 My abs are speaking to me now and I sweated profusely during and after all of the routines this morning.  While loosened up, I washed our living room windows LOL

The embedded video for Cardio Melt is from a highly recommended vendor who sells the dvd so I am not violating any copyrights but actually offering free advertising.
Jessica had permitted me to add MUsic to her chair routine.
