I restarted my NetFlix queue so that I could try out some new workout videos. NetFlix appears to be ideal for this as they have a really good selection that all of my local video stores don't. In fact my local video stores don't appear to stock exercise DVDs at all.
Anyway, the latest one I tried out was The Trainer's Edge: Killer Butt with Dolores Munoz. I'm wasn't much on point specific videos, like butt, thighs or abs videos. But recently I tried Billy Blank's Ab Bootcamp (highly recommended) and it was awesome. So I figured I've give a few more a shot.
The Trainer's Edge: Killer Butt with Dolores Munoz (3 out of 5 stars)
Level: Intermediate
Pacing: A little slow for my taste, this is more scuplt than cardio
Routine: Twenty minutes doing lunges, squats and forward kicks in all manner of variation. Then ten minutes on the mat doing all manner of donkey kick.
Instructions: Dolores is kinda bland and I found myself going blind into some of the moves and not following at times. Which is odd for a routine as simple as this.
Conclusion: It is a sold workout for your butt. If your advanced you will probably have to double up on some of the moves to get much out of it. It's pretty dull and insanely repetitive. Most of the moves are done in sets of twenty. That gets tedious and my guess is that this video will only work for a couple of viewings before it gets too monotonous. There is very little energy or banter. That being said it's a good workout for the butt and thighs with some benefit for the back and abs.
