Joyce Vedral: Vertical Abs and Fat Zapping Workout Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This workout comes in 3 parts; an abs workout, a slow movement whole body workout and a "fat-zapping" workout. They share the feature that no mat work is involved. So you do this standing up or sitting in a chair. If you prefer not to work out on the floor, then this is an option as it could be difficult to get up and down off the floor, don't laugh, it's not easy after "a certain age." Also, certain ab exercises are hard on weak bones (rolling on your back, for example.) If any of this applies to you, check with your physician if this workout could be a good one for your fitness.
The abs are done slowly, using dynamic tension; in other words, you should try to make the movement slow and deliberate, even resisting the movement. This is not well-explained in the workouts themselves, but it is the principle behind this kind of workout. As you resist your own muscle movement, you build strength. I did the abs workout; it was not difficult, then followed with the fat-zapping workout. This is done with a single weight, a light one, and it also involved super-sets, meaning you work similar groups of muscles or the same group in different ways. This gets you tired.
While I did not find this a difficult workout at all, afterwards, I was fatigued but relaxed. It really felt good. You can modify these workouts in many ways: do all three, do one, but add weights and repeat, or any variation. As you progress, you can find different ways to mix it up so your body isn't used to the same workout.
As a DVD standalone, it is good for travelers, as a single weight, even water bottles, and a chair is all you need. That's pretty good. However, this workout shines as a change-up if you have other workouts such as the Joyce Vedral: On The Ball Workout, the Joyce Vedral: Speedy Non-Stop Fat Meltdown Plus Stomach Zapping Abs or Bone Building Body Shaping Workout: Strength Health Beauty In Just 16 Minutes A Day. In fact, Dr. Vedral couples this workout with "Definition" and "Slow Duet" to create a body-shock. "Definition" is a standard, pyramid set workout with weights (she uses dumbbells, but it can be nicely adapted to weight machines) and Joyce Vedral: Slow Duet is also a slow, dynamic resistance workout with light weights. If you get bored, this is a nice workout to change off from time to time. If you are super-fit, it will possibly seem too easy. If you are out of shape, you probably can do this right off the bat, so it's not impossibly hard for the beginner.
Because you can adapt this and make it more difficult, I recommend this DVD for beginners, travelers who want in-hotel-room fitness possibilities, or for anyone who wants a quick workout that can be made effective depending on how you mix it up. I like it.
