Why You Ned to Buy Basic Training Ada Strength Workout
[Always consult a physician before starting any exercise routine]
Simply, it has been said that if you 'hate' your workout instructor by the end of the first week - it is a good workout. By the end of the first week I 'hated' Ada. As others noted this is an older 'from VHS' conversion. That does not make it less effective. My primary interest is a cardio/aerobic workout that is 'low impact'.
It is neatly divided into chapter sections.
Three weaknesses in this routine.
First, there is no pre-warm up stretching.
Second, the transition from aerobic to strength training is very short - I pause it here to take a moment to slow the heart rate a little more than she gives time for.
Third, some of the transitions in the stretching portion are quick and do not give time for an adequate stretch. It seems like they were trying to get in a 'one-hour' workout so they sacrificed some time stretching to do it.
This is a good cardio/aerobic exercise video with some weight training - it won't make anyone 'Charles Atlas' but it does provide a decent cardio maintenance routine with the ability to challenge one's self and improve.
The best recommendation I can make is simply - by following the routine every other day [after consulting my physician] - it has lowered my blood pressure [taken daily] and increased everyday stamina.

This is my favorite work out of all time! Very effective! I like that it is low impact, yet it really raises your heart rate! Hoping for more Basic Training workouts to become available on dvd.....
ReplyDeleteI am so loving this workout. It's for beginners but it's quite challenging and fun to do. It's a 1 hour total body routine including dumbbell work for the upper body, standing leg work, and crunches for the abs. I love her! Girlfriend is bad.
ReplyDeleteBut I just don't get why she didn't put out more stuff.
Heck,
She even makes me want to join the army! LOL!
A beginner can't go wrong with this workout, and the intermediate can benefit from it as a backup to a vigorous weight training routine for the cardio.
This is an older workout from the early 1990's. I remember watching her workout show on ESPN. Just because it is old, does not mean it's not an effective workout. There is a good warm up,a low impact aerobic section, a separate toning section,followed by a complete cool-down. Total body workout!
ReplyDeleteI love the aerobic section, easy moves that get your heart rate up. I love the fact that it is on a military base with Marines working out with you. That makes it different from other workouts! This is just a good one to have! Loved it!
Buy this one if you truly want to change your body. It will help you loose inches and change the way your clothes fit. It is work, but it is worth it. Stick with it for 6 weeks, working out 5 days a week and you will have results. I've bought many workout videos and this is the only one that gives you a long, lean body!

This is an older workout, from the early 1990's, but it doesn't seem dated. I've had the VHS tape for years and was glad to finally get it on DVD. The DVD is chaptered. I like the aerobics section best, it has basic choreography and is low impact, but delivers a very solid workout. It's about 30 minutes long (including warm-up) and the time flies by. I wish Ada had made more workouts like this, it's one of my favorites that I always come back to.
ReplyDeleteI love Ada and her brother Gil. I've been doing their exercises for over 30 years but fitness network has just been taken off my cable package. This is a wonderful video with easy to follow but effective moves. Love, love, love it!
