Movie Reviews of SWAT Workout: Extreme Weight Loss and Fat Burning
Movie Review: Very Solid Cardio Workout
Summary: 5 Stars
A good lower impact cardio workout for the home exerciser. It is a relatively short workout (the actual cardio portion is about 30 minutes long) that combines straightforward "boot camp" moves such as "SWAT Thrusts" which involve moving from a standing position to a plank, scissoring the legs, performing a pushup and then standing up straight; military or SWAT marches, and lunges. I have serious nerve damage in my feet after punishing my body with long distance running, so I need a workout that is effective, but does not involve lots of bouncing or repetitive lateral moves. I would caution, however, that for those with knee problems that the SWAT thrusts will place pressure on your knees, especially when you jump up from a plank position. Modify the move by stepping forward one leg at a time or slowing the move down.
The workout has a fun element to it in the digital display at the bottom of the screen. It features a count for how many repetitions remain, what you are doing now and what is coming up and a reminder to check your heart rate.
The set is interesting and looks a bit like the scene of a SWAT raid or something complete with Hummer vehicles and barriers. The SWAT team consists entirely of young, fit, attractive women in short bike shorts and halter tops and the team leader, Commander Tom, engages in fun banter with them during the workout.
Commander Tom is a fun and engaging leader. If you like the playful intensity of Billy Blanks or the friendliness of Rod Stryker's yoga videos, his style will be a good match for you.
Minimal equipment is required. Light dumbbells (5 lbs to start - increase with fitness level) are used in the recovery section. You can increase the intensity of the workout if you like by speeding up the marches or increasing your weights, but to be honest, if you are maintaining strict form the straight workout should be plenty.
Some criticisms - the workout cueing is problematic. The instructor cues to his orientation, not the viewers, so when he says go to your left if you want to mirror him you will have to go to your right. However, the coreography is so simple that this should not pose a serious problem. Also, Commander Tom does tend to lose count, so if you are a stickler for repititions, you should keep your own count. Since none of these issues pose a serious threat to the workout's effectiveness, I did not cut stars but you should watch for them.
This is a light HIIT. If you want a very intense HIIT and you have a step, try Intense Moves by Gin Miller and Step Reebok or Get Ripped 1000 (featured in the 4 pack) Jari Love: Get Ripped 4-Pack, Includes Get Ripped, Ripped to the Core, Ripped 1000, Slim & Lean which has intense cardio on a step with weights in the recovery section.
Lastly - I am a mom and my daughter loves this workout. She loves to do the SWAT thrusts and the SWAT marches with me. Did I mention that she is 2 1/2? Fun for the whole family!
