Rushfit Week 3 complete: George St Pierre v Bob Harper, who wins?

Twice a week Rushfit calls for a 30-40 mins of cardio in which you "should not feel too out off breath afterwards". I presume this to keep you fresh for the next Rushfit session. Initially  I did some light cardio or some yoga, but this week I decided to kick things up a notch by doing a an hour of high intensity aerobics.

Since I had been using the Biggest Loser Yoga  I picked up the cardio DVD from the new Bob Harper (trainer on The Biggest loser) fitness program The inside out method. Let is be known, this DVD kicks your ass. Within 5 minutes I was sweating and after 15 I was burning up!

The program consist of isometric holds mixed dynamic movements with the aid of dumbbells. The dynamic movements are similar to those used in kettleball work outs and the iso holds are typically switched between plank and squat positions. The negative effect of this is that you get a very repetitive workout and someone without drive may find this an extra burden.

That being said at the end I was totally wiped out even the people in the video were giving up during some of the iso holds. I did the work out twice last week and going back to Rushfit almost seems like a treat. There is two more DVDs in the inside out method; Yoga and Strength. I hope to pick them up this week and tell you how much they hurt soon after

Till next week
