My Basement Gym

To finish up my 10 Minute Solution week, I did another Amy Bento title from this series – Sculpt, Tone, & Reshape with the Figure-8. This workout is a kit, similar to Knockout Body , but instead of weighted gloves, it includes two figure 8 exercise bands with different levels of resistance. The yellow band is for beginners, and the red band offers more resistance. I found that the red band worked okay, but it wasn’t overly challenging. The range of motion seemed a bit short on some exercises, as well. Someone wanting even more of a challenge may want to find a heavier figure 8 band . But, since this is a light week for me, the red band was fine for today.

The dvd contains the usual selection of five 10 minute workouts, each with a different focus – and menu options to mix and match them any way that you choose.

The workouts included are:

• Sexy, Sculpted Lower Body
• Upper Body Tone & Chisel
• Fat Blasting Sculpt
• Jiggle-Free Buns & Thighs
• Flat & Firm Abs Fast

There are a lot of unique moves used in this one that are longer to describe than they are to do! Fat Blasting Sculpt even contains some very short cardio intervals, mixed in with combination exercises.

There is a great breakdown of the workouts available in the review section here, at Video Fitness .

Happy Friday!
