feeling the pushup/plank position over and over. I definitely don’t see how this relates to Thor, the superhero character. It was a good workout, shoulders and arms felt it, but not my favorite at all. Day 5: Spider-Man Boy do I hate plank jumps. Again, not the most fun, but an effective workout. The only one I connected to Spider-Man, were obviously the Spider-Man push-ups, and perhaps the climbers and plank jumps. This was another repetitive workout. What I don’t quite understand is how she decides how many sets there are. Some of the hard workouts have 10 sets while others have 7. Shrug. Day 6: Stormtrooper Ohhhh Stormtroopers. An accurate workout would be target training, amirite? I honestly have no clue how this connects in anyway to the Stormtrooper. But that aside, let’s continue to the workout. This was absolutely one of the easier ones, much better for beginner fitness participants. I enjoyed doing the kicking, but Stormtroopers never really have to kick. Otherwise, it werepretty similar exercises to the other workouts, with that repetition of the plank position over and over. Day 7: Arrow No idea who Arrow is, Chris suggested it may be “Green Arrow.” So I will cut to the chase and just review the workout. An embarrassing slight fear of mine is box jumps. I do them, yes, but I don’t like them. I need to train more with them to get over my fear. This was a great, tough workout. Probably the most advanced since it had box jumps and pull-ups. My rear delts and back were sore the next day. I didn’t enjoy it, but it was a great workout. Day 8: Wolverine Didn’t really see how this related, except for perhaps all the jumping stuff and raised leg push-ups for raw strength. This one actually wasn’t too hard. Again, by this point I was kind of sick of these workouts. As you can see, she heavily recycles all her exercises. It was a good workout, but there are many things I would do differently. But I always go all the way. Before I summarize, I want to underlineonce more that you should try these workouts! Even if they weren’t my favorite, I love that she’s making fitness and working out more accessible to the public. It’s so important to hook people however you can into improving their health. I definitely raise my glass to Neila Ray. All in all, her workouts were simply too repetitive for me. I missed weighted exercises and was sick of all her plank-styled moves. I think it could be better shaken up with different exercises in a different order. You will absolutely see themed workouts homemade from yours truly (with hopefully our graphic designer, Mandy, who designs our logos and more) based on superheroes and others we know and love. The thought excites me. I love accepting and dominating workout challenges. Try these workouts to stay hungry and fit!
