The Belles are very excited to have had the opportunity to review, from Total Max Fitness , Toby Massenburg’s latest workout: Chiseled! Toby is a nationally certified group instructor, personal trainer and top-tiered Master Instructor for Equinox Fitness Clubs. He holds a Bachelors of Science degree in Kinesiology with an emphasis in exercise science as well as many other fitness certifications.
Chiseled:
Toby Massenburg brings us his latest workout - Chiseled – with a total running time of ninety minutes – is a total body workout that consists of a seventy minute metabolic workout, designed to burn calories and sculpt lean muscle, and a fifteen minute abdominal routine that will chisel your mid-section. Toby is joined by two background exercisers. There are no modifiers present in the workout, however, Toby shows three different intensity levels for each exercise so that you can pick your level throughout the workout. For the workout you will need a set of heavy and light dumbbells and an athletic step. An optional floor mat is recommended for the abdominal routine. From the main menu you have the option to play the Chiseled workout with or without music or select the Chiseled core routine.
Chiseled begins with a dynamic warm-up that thoroughly prepares the body for the intense workout. The workout is divided into ten five minute blocks. Each block consists of sixty seconds strength, followed by thirty seconds rest and then culminates with sixty seconds of cardio and thirty seconds rest. This cycle is repeated two total times to complete the block. Each of the sixty seconds of work is divided into twenty seconds at level one, twenty seconds at level two and twenty seconds at level three. Beginners can opt to stay at level one throughout the sixty seconds while seasoned exercisers may choose to exercise at level three for the entire sixty seconds. Each level is intensified by adding in upper body movement, balance challenges, cross-rotational movement, plyometrics and more. The workout concludes with a well-earned cool-down and stretch. Chiseled Abs is a fifteen minute core routine that hits the abdominal muscles from every angle. Toby uses crunches, oblique exercises and plank series, with each exercise getting progressively more challenging, to thoroughly exhaust the muscles of the core.
Chiseled is a tough but fun and energetic and total body workout. The workout is nicely paced so that you never get bored because you are constantly working and changing things up. Toby includes a lot of compound moves, intensifiers and modifications for each level so that you can work at your pace and take it up a notch when you are ready. Toby Massenburg is a superb, friendly, inspiring and knowledgeable instructor that offers instructional and motivational cues throughout the workout. His form pointers and cues are thorough and precise. He does an excellent job leading the workout, is a motivating instructor, with a great on-screen presence. Toby is also an encouraging instructor offering motivation and support when you need it the most.
