Released July 2009, Mindy Mylrea's Workout! is the Ultimate SweatFest! This is Mindy's toughest, most challenging workout yet--and to anyone familiar with Mindy, you know that's saying a lot!
Comments from Jen:
Yipes, WORKOUT! is right. When Mindy Mylrea called her latest DVD "The Ultimate SweatFest," she wasn't kidding!
The beginning of this workout, as Mindy herself says, is "ultra-uber tough." I love that, because it's so, so true. I was dripping after the first few minutes; my legs were on fire, my heart rate was spiked. Eat a huge honkin' bowl of Wheaties before attempting this DVD, cause you're gonna need it for sure!
One of the aspects I love the most about this Workout! is the 40 second cardio blasts. You think 40 seconds isn't much? Uh, think again! Mindy goes all-out, ensuring the best possible use of the time. When the 40 seconds are up, you're dripping and glad you were able to do it all. I love Mindy's cardio because she doesn't integrate any dancey, complex moves; instead she focuses on the pure pleasure of intense movement. You'll do a 40 second blast, a very brief recovery, then the same 40 second moves with added concentration. During the second 40 second blast (there's two per "station"), Mindy doesn't give any instruction, but instead pumps up the music for further motivation. Here's a classic Mindy quote for you, I adore this one: "The hardest part of these 40 seconds--was me not talking!" So true for chatty Mindy, yet her words are never pedantic or silly, but always fun and inspirational.
As always, Mindy's personality is a pleasure to view. She combines exercises to create new methods of movement, using her fun style to add to the overall effect. For example, her ballet-type plie move immediately switches to a ski move, and back again. "I'm a ballerina -- no, I'm a skier!" Mindy laughs.
The end of the workout incorporates some moves with Gliding Discs, but if you don't have discs it's easy to modify (which is what I did). A BOSU or a step is also used, but optional. No weights are needed.
From Mindy:
The exercises and drills in this workout will fatigue every muscle group to complete failure, ensuring fitness gains throughout your entire body.
Mindy uses traditional exercises, but for a twist she adds 100% more to each move - more integration, more muscle activation, more sweat and muscle-shaking fatigue. She adds a mind+muscle / brain+body twist that will bring clarity and rock your WORKOUT! world.
