Movie Reviews of The Pit Workout
Movie Review: Amazing Workout - Never Gets Old & Is Fun
Summary: 5 Stars
A little over 2 years ago I was inspired to get into the best shape of my life. My wife and I just had a kid a year before, I lost my motivation (loss of sleep and the total change in ones life that comes with having a child) and had only been working out once a week tops (lifting weights)for a few months. This was after taking a 9 month break of doing no excercise at all before getting this video. What really made me think I need to start doing cardio was the fact that I got caught in a rip current that summer and when I almost instantly got winded trying to help another swimmer stay calm get back to shroe..... it really inspired me to workout. At 30, I was in the worst shape I had been since I was in my mid teens and something had to change. I didn't feel good about myself and my fitness level.
Being into the UFC, this workout sounded really interesting to me. It combined strength training with cardio - win win as far as I could see! Money was tight so I knew actually doing MMA was out of the picture at the time but if nothing else, this could help me get into share for when I was ready. At first, I couldn't stand the thought of doing a "workout video".... seemed really (insert choice word here) to me. That being said, after reading the reviews on the Pit - it sounded different. It sounds like just want I needed and I knew I had to at least try it. I figured for $15, what did I have to lose?
The first time I did this video it killed me! My arms and legs have never been more tired or sore. I started with the total body workout (workout 3). It was way over my limits!!! I would get winded so easily (to the point I felt like I was going to collapse and I would sound like an asthmatic) and the pace was just way too fast. While it was a bit overwhelming, I stuck with it. After doing the video a few more times and getting use to it, I found that I would need to rest every other set or so.... I just couldn't keep up. I would set goals for myself. If John Hackleman did 20 push ups, I would do 10... stuff like that. The next time I might do 11. I could steadily see improvements in my fitness. Without changing my diet (which isn't the best) in the first 6 months I took off 10 lbs of fat... and I wasn't "overweight" to start! The video went from impossible to a great challenge and something I looked forward to doing. I could see the improvement in my fitness in everything I did - swimming, running... everything. It was great to have cardio. I had never run 5 k in my life and I ran it once on a treadmill before the event and then entered a 5k and did it in 26 min flat - not bad considering where I started.
Now after doing the video on average once a week for 2+ years (with lifting and some biking mixed in), I truly am in the best shape of my life! The best part is that this video NEVER gets old to me. I love workout 3! While I still cannot do the entire blackjack - I can do every other part of this disk and I am not far off from doing the full blackjack (I cannot keep up with the reps but do it for just as long as they do - that is what is great about this video is you can easily customize it for your fitness level). Where before I thought to myself there is no way I could ever do this whole video and the intensity blew me away, now it is a challenge I look forward to and is the cornerstone to me staying in shape.
Workout 1 is also killer (upper body workout) but I don't do it too often. The kicking part really isn't good without a bag but the rest of it is amazing. If you are not sore after this workout you are an animal! I have never tired the leg workout but never felt the need as both workout 1 and 3 hit the legs fairly well. In fact, it is the back of my legs that are usually the sorest from doing these workouts.
I could not recommend this workout video more! It never gets boring and really hits your entire body hard (except biceps). To this day it kicks my a$$! Unless you are at a ridiculous level of fitness - this video is worth a try! With some weight training thrown in, I don't think you can go wrong. No, the production quality of the video isn't the best but who cares. It is a good honest kick your a$$ workout. The best part is you don't have to leave your home and the convenience factor is a huge plus too! 5 + stars - possibly the best $15 I have ever spent.
