The Science of Fitness with Tamilee: I Want Those Arms Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Tamilee Webb, a well-known veteran instructor, has put together a new series of "I want those..." tapes. Each tape contains two 15-minute workouts focused on a particular part of the body. At the start of the video, Tamilee explains that she did exhaustive research to determine which exercises were the most effective and then included the exercises that rated highest in her workouts. For each workout, Tamilee is exercising solo in the same studio from her "Quick Toning" series (minus the two televisions showing her from different angles). In fact, the entire feel of this series is similar to the QT workouts, but it moves much more quickly, including shorter workout and cool-down times. Tamilee is an excellent instructor and good at cueing, but in this series, she moves so fast between the exercises that it is sometimes a little difficult to keep up.
The first 15-minute workout consists mainly of very traditional, basic exercises for arms and shoulders. Tamilee starts with flies, moves on to double bicep work, then to upright rows, and then returns to the biceps for singles. She then moves on to triceps, starting with triceps kickbacks and proceeding to an overhead french press. For the latter exercise, she adds a few twists, including an isometric move that made this one of the most challenging triceps workouts I've ever done. Tamilee runs through all of the above exercises for 8 repetitions, does a second set of 12 repetitions, and finally another set of 8, leaving out a few moves here and there.
The second workout, which is supposed to be more difficult, consisted of some more unique moves. Tamilee begins with weighted side bends, and then she does a variety of moves using a chair, including concentration curls and tricep dips. Finally, she ends with a tricep move on floor, a sort-of one-armed side pushup that feels very effective (she also uses this move in her "I Want That Body" tape). Tamilee does all of the exercises for 12 repetitions and then repeats most of them for another 8 reps.
Overall, these are solid arms/shoulders workouts that you can do in a short period of time. For those who don't like traditional pushups, you're in luck, because Tamilee doesn't do any. On the other hand, for those of you who want to work your chest and back, you won't get much from this video.
