Barry's Bootcamp 5 Day Academy Review: Full Body

Barry's Bootcamp 5 Day Academy: Full Body
Barry Jay, 2006

Barry leads this workout with a group 6 exercisers in the BBC gym. This dvd only has a 44 min body weight only strength workout on i & you will only need a step bench.  There is a music off option (though I love the music!) and it is chaptered (as are all the strength w/o's in this set). Each exercise is performed for 1 minute and Barry finishes a lot of the exercises with a static hold to really burn out those muscles.

This is the toughest body weight only strength w/o I can recall every doing! Barry adds in some cardio moves & the pace is brisk enough to get the heart pumping!!!! The warmup is a 2 min wall sit followed by jacks. Exercises include: pushups, plank, plyo lunges, deep squats, squat w/ knee raise, tricep dips, long lever arm circles, pushups, bench Mt. climbers, burpee to pushup, squats off the bench, decline pushups, superman holds, donkey kicks, double crunch, bench V drops, spelling A-Z w/ your legs fully extended. The last exercise before the cooldown is: 2 minutes of plank, plank twists, & plank side knee pulls.


This is an advanced workout. Barry's cuing is spot on, he provides excellent form pointers, and I find him very motivating. Love that this is body weight only but so effective- all my muscles were worked- many fatigued. The pace is perfect- basically nonstop action and quick enough to get a great sweat on. Fantastic workout! I did not receive this set to review.

Barry's Bootcamp 5 Day Academy Review: Shoulders & Back

Barry's Bootcamp 5 Day Academy: Shoulders & Back
Joey Gonzalez, 2006 

Joey leads this workout with a group 6 exercisers in the BBC gym & you can see some treadmill runners on the side. This dvd includes a cardio, treadmill cardio, and strength workout. You will need dumbbells & a step for the strength, a step for the cardio, a treadmill for the treadmill. There is a music off option (though I love the music!)

Strength: (46 min) Joey thoroughly works the shoulders & back and he provides some great core work as well. After a w/u, exercises include: weighted punches, row variations, push up to renegade row, upright rows, short & long lever lat raise, cuban press, cable pull, arms extended dumbbell twist & static hold, & lying pullover. Interspersed core work includes toe reaches, weighted V twists, hi plank hold, side plank hold, oblique side bends, standing toe & heel touches, & cross knee pulls. Each exercise is performed for 30-90 seconds.

Cardio: (19 minutes) This is pretty much nonstop pretty high intensity cardio! Exercises include: jogging, hi knee run, jacks, jump rope (air), mogul jumps, side to side jumps, compass jumps, jogging rope, hi jumps, single leg hop, & runner knee pulls. Each exercise is performed for 30 seconds and this circuit is performed twice.

Treadmill Cardio: The screen shows the speed & incline goal, and has a timer. I didnt do the w/o as I dont have a treadmill but upon preview

I rate these advanced workouts- with heavy poundage he really nails your back & frys your shoulders! Joey does a bit too much demo'ing the moves before we actually start for my tastes but other than that I really enjoy this dvd. Really burns those shoulders out & simple straight forward & effective cardio. Great cuing & form pointers. I did not receive this set to review.

Barry's Bootcamp 5 Day Academy Review: Chest & Abs

Barry's Bootcamp 5 Day Academy: Chest & Abs
Trainer Rich, 2006

Rich leads this workout with 6 background exercisers in the BBC gym & you can see some treadmill runners on the side. This dvd includes a cardio, treadmill cardio, and strength workout. You will need dumbbells & a step for the strength, a step for the cardio, a treadmill for the treadmill. There is a music off option (though I love the music!)

Strength: This will really fry your chest! After a warmup (Mt. climbers, running, & twisted Mt. climbers) exercises include: pushups, tri pushups, wide arm pushups, crunches, leg scissors, leg drops, uneven pushups off step, elbow to knee crunches, bench press, pec fly, one arm bench press, weighted crunches, twisting crunches, and concludes with two minutes of slow tempo bench press.

Cardio: (21 min) After Rich warms you up you go into one minute cardio intervals. Exercises include: Mt. climbers off the step, hops, one leg hops, moguls, skater, front kicks adding in a punch, and bicycle abs. You perform the circuit twice and finish w/ a cooldown. Pretty low impact but a good intensity.

Treadmill Cardio: (26 min) I dont have a treadmill so I didnt do this workout but upon a quick preview you start out walking, perform some warmup stretches, then start in on the incline & speed intervals and conclude with a cooldown & stretch. The screen shows the speed & incline goal, and has a timer.

This is an advanced workout that will really burn out your chest and work your abs. This gets 4, instead of 5 stars because Rich takes just a bit too long explaining each exercise for my (impatient) tastes. Nothing super fancy about the exercises Rich chooses but they are all tried & true solid exercises. His cuing & form pointers are superb and I know I will feel this tomorrow! Really accomplishes a lot in 40 minutes (compared to P90X in 60 minutes). I did not receive this set to review.

You then move to the floor for: donkey kicks, table top side knee raises, table top side kick outs, and stand back up to finish off & REALLY burn out the lower body with 2 rounds of plyo power squats and jacks and a final stretch.

Exercises include:  jacks, Mt. climbers. pushups, cardio side lunges off the step, fast feet, flying jacks, skaters, and high knee runs. Accomplishes a great calorie burn in less than 20 minutes!

Treadmill Cardio: (31 min) I didnt do this workout as I dont have a treadmill but upon preview: Nadia moves you from a walk to a jog and then into a run. She adds in run & incline intervals. The screen shows the speed & incline goal, and has a timer.

I rate these workouts advanced. Nadia's cuing is spot on and she provides excellent form pointers! I find her very motivating and I like her personality, which helped me get through these tough workouts! Nothing fancy- tried & true exercises performed nonstop for great results. My heart was pumping HARD during even the strength workout. These res a real calorie burners!!! I did not receive this set to review.

Barry's Bootcamp 5 Day Academy Review: Arms & Abs

Barry's Bootcamp 5 Day Academy: This is Barry's first set of dvds. It is actually kind of hard to find now but if you can find it BUY IT! It is super efficient, effective, and has SO much variety. Barry leads some of the workouts and his crew leads others. Each dvd contains a strength workout, a cardio workout, and a treadmill cardio workout! These workouts are tough but totally doable. I highly recommend them! I am going to review them all- click the "Barry's Bootcamp 5 Day Academy" tab above to see all my reviews as they come up. I included this in my all time favorite systems list and realized I dont have reviews up for them! Stay tuned for detailed reviews off the discs in the set.

Barry's Bootcamp 5 Day Academy: Arms & Abs
Barry Jay, 2006 

Barry leads this workout with a group of background exercisers in his actual bootcamp gym & you can see some treadmill runners on the sides. This dvd includes a cardio, treadmill cardio, and strength workout. You will need dumbbells & a step bench for the strength, a bench for the cardio, a treadmill for the treadmill. I love the music but there is a music off option as well.

Strength: (30 minutes): You do some jumping jacks to warm up and then move right into the work. Exercises include: lying tri extensions, bi curls, dips, 1 arm lying tri press, bicep 21's, jack knives, tri push backs, single arm tri kickbacks, oh tri press and concludes w/ a stretch. Barry finishes each exercise with a static hold. REALLY works the tri's!

Cardio: (21 minutes) This is the toughest cardio of the set & you will burn a ton of calories in only 20 min! Each exercise is performed for one minute with virtually to no rest between. Exercises include: fast feet & jacks (warmup), side lunges off the step, plyo lunges, plyo lunges w/ front foot on bench, burpees, pushups, bench Mt. climbers, hopping on & off the bench, & a jack-squat-plyo lunge combo. The circuit is performed twice.

Treadmill Cardio: (17 minutes) I dont have a treadmill so I didnt do this workout but upon a quick preview Barry has the crew do pullups while lying on the treadmill, then with the power off he has them do a "shopping cart" exercise and run the treadmill manually. The remainder is treadmill interval running. The screen shows the speed & incline goal, and has a timer.

I rate this disc advanced! Barry is really motivational and keeps you going long after the burn kicks in! He provides superb form pointers, cuing, and motivation just when you need it! Really thorough workouts that  get the job done. Fun & effective in a reasonable amount of time! I compare these workouts to S90- if you like those, you will like these! I did not receive this set to review.

Introducing Zims Natural Pain Relief Products!

As you are all aware I am a HUGE fan of natural products, so when I heard about Zim's Naturally Based Products - I knew I must try them. Zim's started over  over 60 years ago with their original crack cream and now Zim's offers 25 products ranging from lotions and cremes to pain relief gels and diabetic care items. The Zim's Max-Freeze® brand provides an affordable topical pain relief gel that emphasizes the use of natural ingredients such as Ilex Flower and Aloe Vera. Natural is the way to go- do you really want to rub chemicals on your body & let them soak in? I know I dont. I love the smell of natural products too- no strong harsh chemicals that burn the eyes, just natural menthol or herby scents! Keep reading to learn more about Zim's!

I had the pleasure of reviewing the Zim's Max-Freeze and the Zim's Maximum Heat. I also have my eye on their Butter Blends body lotions and their Foot Spa line! Keep reading for a detailed review of the two fab Zim's items I had the opportunity to try. Natural pain relief that works!

Zim's Maximum Heat:
Zim's Maximum Heat is available in both a roll-on and a gel. Features Capsaicin! Capsaicin is naturally occuring in peppers. Zim's Maximum Heat really helped me relieve pain in my knee. As you may know I recently had knee surgery and it is still stiff and swells up on occasion so I am very happy to have found Zim's Maximum Heat. It works great on:

• Sore Muscles & Muscle Sprains
• Back, Shoulder, Neck Pain
• Painful Ankle, Knee, Hip & Elbow Joints
• Muscular Strains

I had the pleasure of reviewing the roll-on and I really like it because its so easy to use. Just roll it on and go. No fuss, no mess and you dont have to rinse your hands off after. The roller ball allows for the perfect application each time! Zim's Maximum Heat also contains organic ilex, aloe & arnica along with vitamin E, tea tree oil and menthol! Feels awesome and you can feel good about using it!


Zim's Max-Freeze:

Zim's Max-Freeze contains menthol and aloe vera- natural and effective ingredients! I really like they gel (also available in roll on, spray, and a specialized version for your feet!) because I can apply as liberally as I want. I have been using this on my knee after working out as the swelling starts to kick in about then (still recovering from the surgery). Ive also enjoyed using it on my back & neck - which are always stiff these days.

I have noticed that it has helped effectively relieve pain from:

• Sore Muscles & Muscle Sprains
• Back, Shoulder, Neck Pain
• Painful Ankle, Knee, Hip & Elbow Joints
• Muscular Strains

I really like that Max-Freeze contains organic ilex, arnica, tea tree oil and vitamin E in addition to the menthol & aloe. The scent is not offensive and it vanishes quickly. It contains NO parabens, sulfates, DEA, mineral oit, synthetic fragrances, or petrolatum. You can feel good about using this and of course your muscles and joints will thank you!

Fitness Favorites Digitally Remastered ~ The FIRM: Fat Blaster

Fitness Favorites presents  some all time favorite one of a kind must have Firm workouts!!! Stay tuned for plenty of fab Fitness Favorite dvd reviews and keep reading for a detailed review of The FIRM: Fat Blaster originally released in 1998, now with digitally remastered footage! Be sure to check the all new Firm workout calendar on Fitness Favorites now.

The FIRM: Fat Blaster
Allie Strickland, Nancy Tucker, Lisa Kay, 2013

This is one if my all time favorite FIRM's. This 45 minute mostly cardio workout has a super high FUN factor! Now digitally remastered, this is originally from the old Anna Benson Firm days so its got a ton of background exercisers, good music, and is in the mansion type set. The music is super-upbeat and really makes you want to workout-especially in Allies "chica kielbasa" segment.

The workout consists of mostly step and floor aerobics. I always work up a nice sweat and have fun doing this workout.  There are a few 4-limb aerobic segments where you use light dumbbells and then there is a semi heavy lunge and weighted lower body sequence led by Nancy near the end. The workout closes with a tough ab workout led by Lisa and a cooldown stretch. 

 The moves are all simple and athletic so even despite this cueing issue, its still pretty easy to follow or catch back up with if you miss a step. I would rate this workout intermediate but like most Firms, its easy to modify it up or down to suit your needs. I received this dvd to review.
