It’s cold, snowy and early.
REALLY early.
I’m awake ready to hit the gym, but Mother Nature has yet again dropped a mix of snow and ice on us. The roads are a slippery mess. So bad in fact that school has been cancelled again.
My trip to the gym has been thwarted.
Luckily I have another workout out option.
I head downstairs for my morning sweat session with trainers Jamie Zacharias and Stacy Redwine.
Ok, so maybe Jamie and Stacy aren’t personally in my basement ready to whip me into shape, but I DO have their new workout DVD, Mash Up Conditioning.
It’s been a long time since I popped in a workout DVD {er..video tape}. So long in fact that leg warmers might have still been in style. It’s been hard for me to get into the workout DVD mindset, because all I can envision are old school moves like grapevines and jazz hands.
Well, this isn’t your old school video.
I’m not the most coordinated person, and workout DVDs can be somewhat intimidating with their complicated combinations. However, the Mash Up workouts are easy to follow. In fact, it’s the perfect mix of workouts I’m already doing at the gym.
In each workout there are three trainers who provide examples of beginner, intermediate, and advanced options for each exercise so you can safely progress through the different levels.
I was also worried that the advanced examples wouldn’t be hard enough, but yet again this DVD surprised me. Can you say plyos? OUCH!
Each of the 7 fifteen minute workouts included on the Mash Up DVD combine 5 minutes of Mind Body exercises, 5 minutes of Agility and Strength exercises, and 5 minutes of High Intensity Intervals.
Which means if you only 15 minutes you are good to go.
Have more time?
You can combine the 7 sessions to customize a workout to fit your schedule and fitness level. It will keep your body guessing and keep you motivated.
The best part …
There’s a countdown timer in the left hand corner of the screen, so I know how much longer I have before I can collapse in a heap.

The Nitty Gritty: I received my copy of MASH UP Conditioning as part of my Girls Gone Sporty Ambassadorship, but all opinions and love of sweaty workouts is all my own.
My favorite exercise is kickboxing.
I like Tabata!
Running and lifting weights!
Spin class! Shocker, I know.

I’m a running girl! But, bitter cold weather has forced me to stay inside. Would love the Mash Up DVDs to get by butt in gear! =)
I love mixing it up, so this would be great! My husband and I regularly do workout DVDs together after the little one is in bed (lame, I know!)!
I’d love another opportunity to switch up my workouts!!
