Ignite

Fun, quick (30 min) cardio workout that is drill based alternating between the high step and floor. The 30 sec break can easily be made shorter by the more advanced and a good goal for me would be to get to 40/20 for some/all of the moves. Toby uses the breaks to cue the next move. These are familiar moves and a fun way to use the high step without climbing up and down. No modifications are shown and some would be easier to modify than others. I liked the music, the set, and Toby's demeanor. There is a count down clock easily visible that counts down the exercise and break time. The warm up was about 4 min. There is a stretch after the workout but no cool down. I walked around before the stretch which wasn't too impressive. Great for the days when you want to get in and out and get it done. I can see myself coming back to this often.

Ignite is a 30 minute mostly high impact workout. It has a 30/30 format – 30 seconds of work, and 30 seconds of rest. It is advanced, and I would rate it in between Cathe's Hiit 40/20 (which I think is harder) and 30/30 (which is easier) in terms of intensity.

For some, the warm up may feel too fast, and so it may need a few minutes of prior warm-up.
