3 Day Rotation 2000

You get three different workouts in this video. Each is 20 exercise-packed minutes long, so if you're short on time, do just one of them. They all come complete with warm-up, workout, and cool-down, but are very different. "Circuit Toning" is a muscle-endurance workout using light weights while continuing to move quickly enough to keep your heart rate up for aerobic conditioning and calorie burning. Sometimes you're doing two moves at once--squats and triceps, for example; other times you concentrate on one muscle group. (You use only one set of weights, so your large muscles won't feel these as much as the small muscles.) Instructor Donna Richardson also includes some innovative standing lower-body exercises. "Kick and Jab" gives you a taste of the popular kickbox aerobics with high-energy rounds of kickboxing alternating with punching and kicking. It's helpful if you've already taken some box-aerobics classes, because Richardson moves quickly into complicated combinations. The "Dance Party" segment is a low-impact, funk-aerobics workout, with a Latin flair and plenty of dance moves, attitude, and what Richardson calls "flavor." Donna Richardson is an energetic, motivating instructor who cues well, moves well, looks great, and knows her stuff.
