Clean Cuisine's Full Fitness Fusion

Full Fusion Fitness at its Finest
I just finished this workout and wanted to give my immediate impressions of it.

First major impression: thumbs up!

I did the entire workout, which clocked in at 40:09. This is billed as a 30-minute workout with a separate 5-minute active warm up and a separate 10-minute toning/yoga stretch. Since I played it all, I'm not sure which section came up short.

The colors are nice and light - white and light blue - with soft music. Ivy is entirely pleasant and very, very fit.

This is a solid intermediate workout with virtually no impact. It does, however, have a strong yoga influence, and Ivy is obviously trained as she has a perfect down dog split and beautiful back extension in Locust and reverse plank. The only "impact" is when you hop from a down dog into chair; there are other points at which she also hops from down dog into various moves, as well, but you can easily just step forward if you're not used to doing this move.

I used...

Intense but not overwhelming
I just did the FFF workout for the first time today, and while I had a 3 year old running around interrupting me quite a bit, it was still an intense workout that had my heart rate elevated within 5 minutes and had me sweating. A lot of workouts are SO intense they're overwhelming and I get discouraged thinking "I'll never be able to do that!!" Not with this one, it is very intense, but at the same time doable. I love that there's nothing in this workout that makes my knees hurt. It's no impact, but high intensity. LOVE it!

Great Kettle Ball Workout!
I have never done a Kettlebell workout, and I was excited to try this one. It was a great challenge. I enjoyed the pacing and exercises, and I look forward to getting stronger and keeping up with the instructor. It is a nice change of pace from a typical dumbbell workout. I like that it was a whole body workout, only one half hour, and incorporated the floor and chair. I would recommend this DVD.
