Keli Roberts, 2011 ***** (4.5 of 5 stars)
Keli leads this 54 min cardio workout in a martial arts studio with 2 b/g exercisers. You will only need your UR for this workout. The exercises groups are separated by a horse stance series and then combined at the end for a full cardio karate workout. Nice Asian-esque music.
Keli does a great job of adding plyometric drills to more deliberate karate poses/exercises, getting the heart rate up more so than the others I have tried. Exercises include: jacks w/ karate arms, horse stance series, punches & strikes, hitch kicks, move up w/ palm strikes & back w/ a punch, cross over body tosses, lunge & palm strike, cat w/ knee & ankle stomp, jump squats, stomp & upper cut, lunge hops & strike down, & skater hops and concludes with 14 min of core work and cooldown. Core work includes: plank, plank jacks, elevator planks, bridge series, & supine toe reaches.
I rate this an intermediate workout but you can easily modify up or down to suit your needs. I added weighted gloves & some more hops & got a good workout. Keli does a great job in this one and looks amazing! Her form & cuing are great & I like the addition of plyos after more slow & deliberate karate work. There is a countdown bar that has occasional tips & reminders along side it. Love the functional work and felt my core working throughout. I received this dvd to review.

Cakes: Got this order for the AZ centennial a few weeks ago. It was red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting & is covered in fondant. And Mardi Gras cupcakes- they are chocolate with buttercream and fondant beads & masks. The lighting is really bad in that pic, will keep that in mind for next time & take the pic elsewhere.
Today's Tip: The scale says nothing about your fitness level or body composition.The scale can't tell you how much of your body weight is muscle versus fat. "If someone is trying to improve their fitness, they should ignore the scale and pay more attention to objective measurement tools like body composition to track their progress," Dolgan says. While weighing yourself can be one way to track your progress, it shouldn't be the only way. And it certainly isn't worth obsessing over with daily weigh-ins. Don't forget, , losing pounds on the scale does not mean that you are more fit—it just means you are lighter, which doesn't mean much at all. Read more on Shape.
