Interval Party 2 Pics and Breakdown

KICKIN IT!!
WORKIN IT !

Tamra, Katina (me), Lisa, Ranel, and Sondra


Breakdown
Interval Party starts out with a warm up combo that has a mix of athletic moves with a little dance flair. Nothing that is to complicated in the warm up. Then we stretch you out with a little bit of kickbox moves and dance moves. You know I had to "take it down low." Then we start with combo 1 and interval 1 comes next. Then you move on to Combo 2 and 3 with the intervals in between. After that you have a well deserved waterbreak and we move on to 4,5,6 combos and intervals. This part of the workout has a kickbox influence. Then we have our Interval Power Party and this is where we put all the combos together and run through it twice. And then if you are game for more Party-- we have a very different BUS STOP for you in the cooldown. You can really take this routine with you to your next dance party. When my husband and I go to parties -- he is always showing me the "New" BUS STOP. So I wanted to show you guys my "new" bus stop. My husband is a great dancer. I can remember when we where younger we would challenge each other on who could come up with the best routine. Dancing is how we made our love connection. And I definitely have a love connection with him and with Interval Party 2. My editor and I will be working on this video this upcoming week.
INTERVAL PARTY PREMIXES
1. Combo Mix--- all of the combos together with one body part (weights)
2. Interval Mix--- all of the intervals together with one body part (weights)
Will keep you posted!! Step Party 2 is done. I'm hoping to have clips up and start the presale by next weekend.

Breakdown of Step Party 2
Step Party 2 starts with a 4-5 minute warm up and stretch that is easy to follow. I want to warm your brain up to. Nothing in the warm up is complicated at all. If you know how to kick corner to corner , knee corner to corner, straddle around the world, and over the tops, you got the warm up.
Then we move on to the meat of the workout. This is a little bit more complicated. But don't worry I work you up on each side to the final combo. So if you don't get it on the right, I know you will get it on the left. Then we work it side to side about 3 times each. Then I give your brain a break with a POWER PARTY. The power party is composed of one or two elements of the combo that you just completed with a twist of new moves. And you work it!! Your heartrate will elevate about 5-10 beats higher in the POWER PARTIES. Then we move on to combo 2 & 3 and their POWER PARTIES. Then you get a water break and we come back and do the other half of the workout with the same set up for combo 4,5,6 with POWER PARTIES.
Then we have our Final Step Party 2 Party and this is where we put all the combos together and run through it twice. And then a take you through a no brainer cool down and stretch.
TENTATIVE PREMIXES OF THE WORKOUT
1. 1/2 of the workout and a body part (weights)
2. The other 1/2 of the workout and a Body Part (weights)
I did this so that if you are running short on time and need to get your cardio and weights in, you can do it with this premix. Or if you want to learn the workout you can break it up and get a body part in for the day.
This is it. I will be working with my editor this week to put this together!!!

My Patient/Artist for Picture on the Party 3 Set

I had the wonderful pleasure of taking care of Christine in the practice where I worked. When I found out that she was an artist, I knew I had to get her to paint me a picture with inspirational words for the Party 3 set. Christine is responsible for "Energy and Persistance can conquer all." And these are the words that the girls and I live by. So when you are about to give up..... Remember "Energy and Persistance can conquer all" Thanks Christine and good luck with your new arrival!!!!

Circuit Party Pics

I picked out pictures by numbers from my photographer, but her numbers did not match mine so I will post more of her pictures later. But here are some of my personal pictures from Circuit Party. This is the weighted cardio section of Circuit Party. We did not have weights here because this was a quick rehearsal before the shoot. I didn't want to wear myself out , you know.

More Pictures of Party 3 Coming Soon

I have pick out some of the action shots from Interval Party 2, Circuit Party, and Step Party 2 from my photographer. I should have them by tommorrow and will post them. I was hoping to post them sooner, but I have been dragging my butt! I have what you call a fitness hangover. I wish that I could make filming videos a glamarous event, but I'm going to keep it real. It is tough!! Hours of working and moving your body and every take you must make the viewer believe that it is the first take. My hat goes off to everyone that has filmed fitness videos. It is really a tough job. During the shoot we had some serious bloopers that I would like to share with you guys--- so come along for the laugh and the ride.

I would like to call this "What happens during Technical difficulties of Video Taping of Party 3"

1. What happens if you forget to go to the bathroom, drinking lots of water, and doing lots of plyometric moves and kicking? You pee on the floor and one of the girls slips and falls. No this really didn't happen, but I was force to stop a good take to run to the potty.

2. What happens when you have almost completed one good take and mess up and then you curse in the mic? You stop and start over. This really happen. I forgot I had a mic. It was just a whisper of the d word.

3. What happens if the girl in the back slips and hits the wall and knocks down the set? You have to put it back up and start all over. This almost happen. We heard a boom and no fall, so we kept on going.

4. What happens if you are doing plyometric moves and your mic falls on the floor. You start all over. This happened.

5. What happens if all the lights cut off several times because of too much power coming from the lights? You start all over. This happened more times than I want to remember.

Can you see where I'm coming from? We had technical difficultes, but we did not give up. We wiped our sweat off and did it again until we got some good takes. I would like to thank my girls for hanging in there and giving me great energy. I truly had some awesome help in making Party 3!! Thanks everyone. Now I'm recovered and ready to continue to work to make this the most awesome video series ever.
