Pure Burn Super Strength!

Pure Burn Super Strength is a 66 min advanced workout lead by Bob Harper.  I have been wanting Bob to come out with some good tough workout DVDs for a while now and he did not disappoint with this workout.  I stayed away from his Biggest Loser ones because they looked too easy.  This DVD comes with 2 workouts on it, a 20 min beginner one and a 66 min advanced one.  I used my 10lbs, 8lbs and 5lbs. Here is the break down:
Warm-up:  Not really a warm-up. Bob's idea of a warm-up is stretches.  I don't like stretching for my warm-up.

Standing weighted pullovers: 10lb

Water Break
Planks and a stretch

Even though I could not do all of the reps I like this workout very much. I how ever did not like when they froze the image when they and you were still supposed to be doing the exercise. I thought the guy in the background had the poorest form I have ever seen and he really slacked in the workout. It looked like he was using the same weights as the other 2 ladies but he only did half of the work. I started out with 10lbs but had my 8lbs and 5lbs close by and chose my weight according to what we were doing. I did find that he was having you move too fast in some moves and it looked like they were not using control so I slowed down some moves for control. I did like this workout and will do it again.  I give this workout 4 1/2 out of 5 stars.
