Extra Details and a Comparison to Insanity
Why I Love Lindsay Brin:
Lindsay is a REAL wife and mom. Unlike a few of the celebrity trainers, she avoids ridiculous or egotistical chit-chat during her videos, and instead gives a positive and encouraging tone to the workout. Check out her blog, her Facebook posts, everything! She is super helpful (and sweet!) and has tons of great information available for pregnancy, immediate postpartum, and regular exercise and nutrition (even how to adjust calories if you are nursing). Her ability to "cram it all in!" makes working out feel accessible, even on the busiest of days.
Why This is Lindsay's Best Work Yet:
I have tried a number of Lindsay's DVDs in the past (CFS Method and Bootcamp 2 were my previous favorites), but Pretty Fierce: Weight Loss is even better! The set design is beautiful (a huge step up from her previous work) and the music is encouraging and energizing, but not overbearing. The workouts are challenging, but in true Lindsay style, all the...
Not worth it if you have any joint issues
I own and love several work out videos by Lindsay Brinn, so I was very excited when this work out was released. I do high intensity work outs at my gym, but it is so hard to get there on a regular basis with my three kids' busy schedules. While my work outs are high intensity, they are low impact. I am forty years old, and years of dance did damage to my knees and my wrists are not the best either. This workout system is VERY high impact.. I found myself modifying almost every workout to such a dramatic extent that the workout I did didn't even resemble the original work out on the DVD. I had to come up with most of my modifications myself. Some modifications were mentioned, but unlike most work out videos I've purchased in the past, they are not demonstrated, so you just have to figure them out yourself, and hope your form is correct. LOTS of moves on the floor that are burpees and push ups. And even though I run five to six miles several times a week, this workout had so much...
Also great for dad!
I have been working out with Lindsay Brin videos for several years now. My wife and I are huge fans and had the opportunity to be review these workouts and go through them in complete form. We were excited for the chance to do so because we are die-hard fans for a very simple reason: her stuff absolutely works and blows everything else away. Her workouts get results that you can both feel and see. At first, I felt a little sheepish trying these workouts because obviously, they're geared towards women. At the same time, I can't think of a single man I know that wouldn't find these workouts extremely challenging. And I don't say that in a bad way. They are hard-core and designed to kick you in the butt. Nothing else has come close.
Pretty Fierce is meant to jump-start your body right away, and boy does it ever. Lindsay has put together a program intended to ramp up your metabolism, fire up your motivation and melt off the pounds while toning up as well. And most importantly,...
