Linoleic acid is an essential omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid, and linolenic acid, an omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, is the other essential fat in your diet. They are part of your cell membranes, nervous system and visual system, according to the Linus Pauling Institute Micronutrient Information Center. Replacing saturated fats, such as from butter, palm oil and coconut oil, with unsaturated fats, such as polyunsaturated fatty acids, may lower your cholesterol levels and risk for heart disease, according to the 2010 Dietary Guidelines from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Today's Review: 360 Miracle, 30 Minute Core Workout
Mindy Mylrea, 2011
This dvd contains two 30 minute core workouts- one advanced & one betginner. Both feature the same exercises but the beginner workout includes more instruction, backgrounder modifications (including the use of a chair), and Mindy offers level options for alternative intensities. I love the set- a living room with a huge window looking out into the ocean (gorgeous). Mindy works out alone in the advanced and with 3 backgrounders of various fitness levels in the beginner. You will only need an optional chair for the beginner w/o and no equipment for the advanced.
The workouts are structured that you work at 70% intensity for 40 seconds, 60% for 30 seconds, and then 90% for 20 seconds. Each of these intensity "bursts" have a short rest period in between. This is a very active core routine that includes some nice cardio as well. My core was worked very well and from all angles. She includes lots of fun exercises, lots of variety & many unique moves.
Exercises include: The exercises are progressive, so you do three intensity levels of the same basic exercise. lunge side chop, burpees progressing to Mt. climbers, V hold, bicycle, wood chop, torso twist cross knee pulls adding in a hop, plank side toe top to cross taps, and plank shifts progressing to elevator planks.
I rate the beginner w/o a true beginner w/o due to the use of the chair. The advanced workout really worked my core- and I would rate it a high intermediate workout. I am a HUGE fan of core cardio and the advanced is just that. Fun & active, accomplishes a lot in only 30 minutes. Very well rounded and you can tell Mindy is having a blast! I received this dvd to review.
