Peak 10 More Cardio Strength Workout Details and Review
Peak 10 More Cardio Strength, with an approximate running time of fifty-nine minutes, is the latest cardio and strength circuit workout led by Michelle Dozois of Breakthru Fitness. A sequel to her popular Peak 10 Cardio Strength, this workout cycles through intervals of strength training, cardio, a high intensity cardio blast and a brief recovery period. Michelle is joined in the workout by several background exercisers from her Breakthru Fitness health club – one of which shows beginner modifications. The workout is chaptered by each of the Peak 10 Training Blocks which allows the exerciser to customize the workout based on their capabilities and time available to work out. For the workout you will need two sets of hand weights, a light and a heavy set.
The Peak 10 More Cardio Strength workout, as the name implies, brings Peak 10 fans more aerobic and strength circuits. In this workout, Michelle uses her signature metabolic circuit training approach to challenge the muscles with non-stop exercise. The workout consists of five circuits or, Peak 10 Training Blocks. Within each Peak 10 training block, Michelle cycles through two rounds of strength training circuits and cardio intervals to give you a total of ten circuit blocks. As with all Peak 10 workouts, More Cardio Strength utilizes unique training levels for the different zones within the workout. Each cycle begins with Basecamp, transitions to the Ascent, followed by the Climb and ends in an all out Peak cardio blast. Basecamp is a very brief recovery period; the Ascent consists of the strength training circuits where the heart rate begins to build; during the Climb, Michelle introduces aerobic circuits to further elevate the heart rate; the training block ends with the Peak, an all out high-intensity cardio interval blast. All the training blocks are set up the same with the exception of the first training block, the warm-up, where Michelle does not include the all-out cardio Peaks.
Peak 10 More Cardio Strength is a fun, intense and progressive circuit training workout. The exercises used in the strength training portion of the workout include many multi-joint combination exercises that engage the core as well as the entire body, making the workout super-efficient. Michelle uses unique as well as tried-and-true exercises to keep the exerciser engaged and never bored. The aerobic sequences are mostly athletic based with kickboxing moves sprinkled in – with no tricky choreography the routine is easy to grasp, even on the first go-round, so there is no down time learning the moves. Though the workout is challenging, the time flies by because of the sequencing of the workout. The high-energy music and Michelle’s motivating nature make the workout enjoyable even when you are working at your hardest. If you want more cardio, more strength, more intervals, more metabolic training and more Michelle Dozois, then you will love Peak 10 More Cardio Strength
