(HealthNewsDigest.com) – San Diego CA – Bridgestone Media Group recently released 2 new exercise DVD’s from their first fitness artist, Tonya Larson. This series responds to the growing demand for workout DVD’s offering multiple shorter workouts on one DVD that can be combined for one long workout when time allows or broken up into several shorter segments. Each DVD also offers an optional bonus mind-spirit segment called the Spiritual Warm-Up, which addresses some of the most challenging aspects of maintaining a healthy and fit lifestyle from a Christian perspective. (However, these segments are separate from the workout themselves.)
Step Pump ($14.95) offers 5 segments; Step Aerobics (30-min), Pump (21-min), Abs & Core (4-min), Stretch (5 min), and 4 Spiritual Warm-Ups (3 min. each)
The Step aerobics segment is an excellent fat-burning cardio workout comprised of 4 fun and creative combinations aimed at the Intermediate exerciser. However, Tonya has a modifier visible throughout the workout, which allows a low-impact and less complex version of each of the 4 combinations that she teaches.
The Pump segment focuses on sculpting and toning the body from head to toe. Tonya is able to achieve this by offering compound weight exercises that target more than one muscle group at a time. She has a unique style of varying tempo that helps create muscle confusion and burn calories so that the body is constantly challenged throughout this short workout. The Stretch and Abs & Core segments of Step Pump are “to the point”, effective and safe.
Pure Pump ($14.95) also offers 5 segments; Pump workout 1 & 2 (22-min each), Abs & Core (5-min), Stretch (4.5 minutes), 3 Spiritual Warm-Ups (4-min each).
Pure Pump is also aimed at the Intermediate exerciser but was creatively developed so that anyone from advanced to beginner can use this DVD by simply lowering or increasing their weights or following the modifier. Keeping in line with the same structure as the Pump segment in Step Pump, Tonya covers all the major muscle groups with safe, yet creative, weight-training exercises. Here again, she keeps it interesting and effective by varying tempo (slow-count, singles, pulses, isometric holds) and positions. This approach offers incredible results as muscles are constantly challenged by these new variations and cannot rely on momentum. Pump workout 1 and 2 are completely different so that you can combine them for one long workout or break them up.
The Abs & Core segment focuses on the lower and oblique abdominals and the Stretch segment is relaxing and thorough.
The Step Pump and Pure Pump series are workout DVD’s that a beginner can grow with and an intermediate to advanced exerciser can be challenged by. The music is fun and Tonya’s warm demeanor and excellent cueing make these versatile and effective “no dread” workouts for any exerciser. The Mind-Spirit component of this series tackles the fact that the majority of people seeking to make healthy and lasting lifestyle changes do not succeed without addressing unhealthy thinking.
