Vita's Vibe on Fitness #9 (Extreme)
This is a
[Other] pattern from

(pattern 3441)
Nine sections of intense cardiovascualar, with weights. This
particular workout has a emphasis on cardio. I've been in the
military for over 12 years, so I can't help but put some boot
camp type exercises in this workout. This is only for advanced
students, those that like the feeling of seriously getting
beat up (not really). I only teach this workout maybe 2 to 3
times a month.
Section 1
Hi impact aerobics
The class already knows this so we are right into it. However you
can teach it low and work towards hi impact. This will cut the
workout some, you may have to take a section out.
Combo 1
- Scoop x 4, moving forward (8 count)
- Grapevine x 2 (8 count)
- Lunges (side) x 4 (8 count)
- Jacks x 4, moving backwards (8 count)
Repeat left
Combo 2
- Kicks x 2, knees x 2, moving forward (8 count)
- Heel jacks x 4 (8 count)
- Jump squat x 2 (8 count)
- Hop x 4, moving backwards (8 count)
Combo 3
- L Grapevine x 2 (16 count)
- Jacks x 4 (8 count)
- Leg curl left, leg curl right, hop 4xs in a circle over
right shoulder (8 count)
Repeat left lead
Section 2
- We have a track, so we take two laps around at own pace of
course, sometimes I push my students and give a time.
Section 3
- Jump roping - 5 minutes only
Section 4
- Walking lunges the length of the aerobics room, weights
8 - 15 pounds.
- Reverse lunges the length of the aerobics room, weights
8 -15 pounds
- Repeat twice.
Section 5
- I call this the frog, it targets the quadriceps, feet hip
width apart, hands are as high the ears, palms facing
forward, the exercise is to jump, jump, jump, jump. That
is it. We can usually go about 5 minutes. Believe me your
quadriceps will be screaming for mercy.
Section 6
- Jumping jacks x 8
- Shuffle right/left x 2
- Boxers shuffle with jabs left/right
- Plant the feet upper cut right/left
- Bob n' weave with a punch
- Repeat 3 times
Section 7
- Deltoids - 15's
- Now sometimes these are called 21s or whatever repetition
you do, it is very tiring at this point but we then do
(I choose a different muscle group each workout) a giant
set, no break's in between, but we do stretch before moving
to the next section:
- Weights 5-8 pounds
- Front lateral raises, 15 reps
- Side laterals, 15 reps
- Up right rows, 15 reps
Section 8
- Oliques - standing
- Side bends with weights - moderate 8 - 12 pounds
- 3 Sets, 20 repetitions
Section 9
- Boot camp style exercises only
- Push ups - option is on knees but I really push the
students to use full body weight. Sometimes we will cross
one foot over the other at the ankles or do triceps push
ups, or diamonds.
- 4 sets, 12 repetitions
- Flutter kicks: On your back, feet off the floor at 6
inches and we sing our ABCs, well needless to say they
aren't singing their best, so I'll tell them; now, now
I don't remember the song being sung that way let's try
again, we usually go for 2 xs here that's about all we have
left. This exercise is only for advanced exercise with
strong abdominals and a strong lower back. I have students
that prefer to do crunches or a different variation at this
point.
Section 10
Well deserved cool down. All muscle groups are stretched. I tell
them to visualize being on a cloud or on a magic carpet going to
a fast food restaurant, they crack up. Not really, better yet,
they are on the carpet legs crossed and they are eating carrots.
They always say they like the first option.
Have fun with this one, it is a killer workout. I tell them to have
lot's of water handy and form is talked about all the way through
this workout and I offer many options. Have a great day.
