JumpStart 180 Review


I got this and wanted my dad to try this out. Here are his words:

Jumpstart 180
First let me tell you something about myself. I am 67 years of age and somewhat over weight. I have had a right rotator cuff repaired (surgery). I do have some issues with my left rotator cuff. I can no longer do any pushups. I used to do 1 per second for 60 seconds. I am sure my shoulder and ankle issues are from the over whelming hard work I did during my 20 years in the USAF removing and re-installing jet engines in the Phantom F4  fighter aircraft.
Jumpstart 180 is produced by Dr. Siobhan France, Dr. of Physical Therapy and Wellness coach. She is committed to helping many to reduce their pain, improve their strength and endurance to their level of function before their injury and maximize their quality of life.
Jumpstart 180 consists of a pack of 4 DVDs in a booklet style case. You will also get an easy to read 18 page 6" x 9" booklet with simple instructions and a chart to track your progress. I would suggest to make a couple of copies of the chart because it is suggested that you follow this Jumpstart program for 4 weeks. There is also a section talking about your heart rate and where it should be during these exercises. So far I had no heart rate issues. Ages displayed are 50 to 80 years of age.
That being said, I believe DVD 1 of 4 will help both of my shoulders. The exercises can be done by most senior citizens.  Should you have any issues, you do not have to follow the instructor exactly. There are many ways you can modify these simple exercises (as instructed by the instructor Dr. Siobhan France) so you can get the desired benefits from each exercise.
I briefly took a quick look at DVD 2. It has all to do with bettering of your balance. I do have some issues with my balance from time to time. I know what I briefly saw, will help me with those issues.

Each DVD is approximately 30 minutes long. Longer if you need to pause it for any reason. The instructor suggests that you pause the DVD if needed for any reason. I did not have to pause DVD 1 but everyone is different and after all Jumpstart 180 is for seniors from 50 to 80 years of age and we all have various issues and these DVDs are to help us with those senior issues. Actually anyone with mobility issues can receive benefits from Dr. Siobhan France Jumpstart 180 program.

Tuesday 7-24-12 my crossfit BLOG


If you are interested in following my crossfit blog check it out here 


WOW! That's what I have to say. Maybe because it's Summer time and there is no A/C everything just seems harder. Since I got back from vacation I feel like everything takes double work. I get a head rush all the time. I was talking to a co-worker this morning and he says I don't care about crossfit. You guys just run and run and it's like and everyday obstacle race. He said if I want to run I will but I am not going to pay for it. I have better things to spend my money on. I respect everyone's opinion. Oh Well call us crazy then :D! I am crazy with a smile on my face and at least I know I feel goos about accomplishing something that people 15 years younger cannot even do! Oh and another co-worker joined up!! Get fit LADIES!
On to the WOD

WuWOD:
  1. run a lap (1/3 mile)
  2. 100 single jump rope/ 50 dbl unders (single for me)
  3. 20 push ups
  4. 20 BSU w/ PVC
  5. 20 mountain clinbers
  6. 100 single jump rope/ 50 dbl unders (single for me)
  7. 10 PVC pass thrus
  8. 10 Skin the cat left and right
  9. Bergener warm up
SWOD:
Snatch
  1. 3 reps @ 60% (35lbs)
  2. 2 rounds of 3 reps @70% (55lbs)
  3. 3 reps @ 80% (65lbs) This was extra hard. I tried as you can see in the video. I did end up being able to lift it. Thank you Silvio for correcting me. I always need reminders and tips. (gentle with the weights Annette) :D
Jackie



WOD:
20 min AMRAP
  1. 400 meter run
  2. 21 deadlifts (85lbs)
I did 4 rounds

I am waiting for the day that I say this was a piece of cake! I know it will never happen cause if I say that then I know I didn't push myself hard enough.  There is always a way to make your WOD harder by pushing yourself to go faster or lift more. With that said umm yeah I don't think that is going to happen. Run run 400 meter run! oh my shins hurt. When I am running (jogging) I feel like I could walk faster that I run LOL. Today I kept getting head rushes after about 5 deadlifts. Settled in and continued. I thing old lady syndrome will be coming tomorrow.

Here goes a little post WOD Therapy with Mimi and Tina!!
See they are smiling after the WOD. Probably cause it's all over.
