Clean Cuisine's Full Fitness Fusion Review

I just got Full Fitness Fusion - the 30 minute solution dvd to review.  Ivy Ingram Larson is new to me.  I popped this in the dvd player this morning and did the entire workout.  The workout has a five minute warm-up, then a 30 minute main workout and then the 10 minute stretch.  I really enjoyed this workout.  I am going to keep it in the rotation. 

Ivy uses a kettlebell and dumbbells for her routine.  She offers a modification with one of the ladies in the background.  My fitness level is intermediate now and I was able to do everything right along with Ivy.  I didn't need any modifications.  I worked up a sweat and my heart was beating fast.  This workout doesn't really have any traditional cardio but your heart rate will get up there like you are doing cardio.

I had a hard time with the fast punching movements, I'm not very coordinated and I kept hitting myself with my fists.  But I figured it out.  I just had to go a little slower.  It was early and I will be better at it next time.  Ivy does a wonderful job with the cues and the music is good too!  I really like this workout.  I highly recommend it. 

I found a little background information on Ivy on their website.
