The Y Plan Body Confidence workout has been created by Central YMCA who one of the UK’s leading fitness training groups. The exercises shared in this DVD have been developed over the last 20 years to give the best results in the shortest time.
The Workouts
The DVD is set out in a logical order that takes you through a whole workout. So the first workout is an aerobic warmup workout that is very easy to follow.
There are 6 different workouts on the DVD, each lasting 10 minutes. This means that you can put together your own 20-30 minute workouts each week, and change the order and the workouts to create your own personal training session.
The 6 Body Confidence Workouts
- 1. Tighten and Tone – bodyweight exercises to build strength
- 2. Body Sculpt – These exercises are done with resistance bands or weights , or without any resistance.
- 3. Cardio-Kick – This is not the best part of the video. It uses moves from Kickercise classes to get you doing martial arts style exercises.
- 4. Aerobics – this classic cardio workout is certainly one the highlights of this video.
- 5. Dance – This is one of the more difficult workouts to master as you need to be well coordinated to follow the dance moves.
- 6. Pilates – 10 minutes of effective Pilates exercises to help shape and tone.
The workouts are designed to be done with little or no equipment. With several exercises you are invited to use dumbbells or to hold a water bottle in each hand.
