TLP Dynamic Strength and Power!

Today I did 2 workouts. The first one I did was TLP's Dynamic Strength and Power lead by Cindy Thorp. This is a mostly cardio workout that uses a low step, light weights, and a medicine ball (approx. 45 min). This is one of the hardest of the TLP's. Cindy leads you through a warm-up using a med ball, then you move right into a cardio section using a med ball. Next comes a short cardio segment using the step. Here, squats with dumbbells are interspersed with squat jumps on and off the step, starting slow and then speeding things up. More ball work follows. This time, you'll put your ball on the floor for some toe taps and soccer kicks, then add in some squat jumps and rows. Next you use your step and a med ball in a lunging segment where you stand on the step and you lung back and front of the step. Next is another med ball cardio segment where you lung forward and wrap you other leg around into some plyo lunges then you speed skate back. Next you use your step with light weight here you side lung on the step abduct the other leg and do a then you bring the weights over head. in-between each side she has you jump onto the bench. The final cardio segment includes multi-planar lunges (i.e., lunging to 4 and 8 o'clock) with hops and squats, all using the medicine ball. Cindy then brings you down to the floor for some chest and back work; First, you'll do push-ups with one hand on the ball, eventually rolling the ball back and forth for power push-ups. Next, you'll hold the ball under both hands for some planks with scapular retraction and triceps push-ups. You finish in a prone position for some "superman" work, still using the ball. Next is core work, but your are really working you core the entire workout. then a relaxing stretch. I have had this workout in my collection for awhile and like it. I give it a 4 out of 5 stars.
