When this workout is over, it goes directly into Ultimate Abs XT 10 below. Ripped Conditioning is a solid strength workout. It also only works the upper body.
I used 3 for this workout—a heavy band, a medium band and a light band. That worked well for the first time through, but when I do this workout again I will probably refine my band selection even more and use additional bands. I own a lot of bands of different strengths and in order to get the perfect workout, you need the perfect band for each exercise.
I will say that the bands that came with this workout program are not heavy enough for back work. They go from very light basically unusable to medium.
For me that is. Everyone is different. I did really like this workout, too. Mike is still irritating and making such a big deal about Mary being an older mom 42 and working out so hard. As if that is so unusual for older moms to put forth effort and exercise.
Give me break. I also noted in this workout that everyone seemed to be giving it their all—crew members and MMA fighters. When Mike attempted to get through an entire exercise with his crew he frequently crapped out because it was too hard or in reality his band was probably too heavy for the specific exercise. But seriously, no one was making band changes in this workout. Most of them had one band they used for every exercise, which means that frequently the band they were using was the wrong strength for the exercise they were doing.
So be smart when doing this workout and do band swaps as needed to get the best possible workout. Wide grip bent over row heavy band. Upright row medium band. Outside wide bicep curls medium band. Overhead standing triceps extensions medium band. Single wide grip bent over row same as 1, but you alternate arms. Upright row singles same as 3, but you alternate arms. Single wide bicep curls medium band.
Standing tricep one leg same as 5 but stand on one leg. Hammer curls stand on medium band. Single arm reverse fly same as 11, but you alternate arms. Single arm upper same as 13 but alternate arms. Iso curls stand on medium band and do bicep curls but across chest—so hand touches opposite shoulder. Iso kickbacks same as 15 but alternate arms. Up and twist same as 21 but alternate arms. Single arm reverse fly same as 22 but alternate arms. Single arm squat press same as 23 but alternate arms.
Wa ter break Cross curls stand on medium band and do upper cuts. Diamond tricep push up same as 25 but cross one leg over other knee. Ultimate Abs XT is 16 minutes long. This was a decent abdominal workout. Killer Move : GFOs lay on back with knees bent, reach over shoulder and pretend to grab opponent, come up on your elbow and one knee, and do a knee strike with the other knee; alternate sides.
When the workout is over it goes straight into Ultimate Abs XT However, they will increase the intensity of the workout.
The setting for Cardio XT is different than all of the other workouts except 5 Minute Knockout bonus 14 below plus there are no MMA fighters; only 3 other crew members. This is actually an intense cardio workout that I liked. Mike was mildly less irritating still irritating, but lower key than usual and did more of the exercises with the crew.
He did frequently stick his face in the camera, filling the entire screen and blocking out your ability to see the other exercisers. Boxing front jab jab 3 times to the front fast while shuffling forward touch the floor, then shuffle back.
Rope and sprawl pretend like you have heavy ropes and you pound them on the floor 5 times, then do a burpee or squat thrust. Burpee burpee, 2 mountain climbers while feet are back, two knee strikes at top when standing again. Fast feet punches fast feet while fast front punching; then it changes to fast upper cuts and ends with speed bags. Killer Move: K the 90 stands for total time doing the exercise: 90 seconds; 15 seconds of high knee sprints, 15 seconds of one arm mountain climbers and 15 seconds of bringing knees to same side elbow while standing —Mike does these running and super fast but none of his crew members or me could do it at his speed so they either did it slower or their own variation of it.
Then repeat all of the moves. This was a tough workout that really wore me out. Cathe uses them much better. Let me clarify quickly—this is a tough workout, it worked my legs hard, gave me a good cardio workout and it even worked my back decently. For this workout you need the leg band also called firewalkers which is a round elastic band and you need a resistance band. I used 3 different levels of resistance bands.
A light one for one exercise, a medium band for the lower body work and a heavy one for the back work. For the warm up you are doing a lot of moves to warm up your lower body: high knees, lunges, bridges.
The workout starts with the leg band. Exercises: 1. Dynamic Marches—same as 1, but jump and hold with knee up. Step in slow mountain climbers—bands still around arches. Move band to ankle and do plank tuck ins. Plank jacks band still around ankles. Put band around hands: Renegade row upper cut push ups with alternating upper cut. Water Break 7. Bring leg band to just above knees: Squat side step Lower band to ankles and do jumping jacks.
Grab resistance band with handles for Power Lift hold handles at shoulders while standing on band and do squats , you will do it at different tempos, ending with jumps. No bands. Power jumps jumps squats. Snatch Front fold resistance band in half and hold with arms wide; do squats while bringing band from in front of you, overhead to low back; I used a light band for this one. Grab leg band and put around hands; renegade row with push ups.
You need your heaviest band for double arm bent over rows; band under both feet, bend over and row. Shrugs; same position as 20, but bend over and stand quickly, shrugging shoulders back.
XT Tire Flips I went to medium band for this one; stand on band, squat with arms holding handles in front of you near floor, then power up to standing, bringing straight arms overhead—like flipping a big tire. Rotate and release sit down and wrap resistance band around feet heaviest band again and do double arm back rows.
Grab leg band and put around hands: plyo push ups. Explosions same as 20, but fast. Stay in same position and do deadlifts. Put leg band around hands and do side to side push ups. No bands Reverse lunge, squat, front push kick. Wide upright row stand with band under feet and crossed; do wide upright rows. I used medium band for this. Power Strike is 26 minutes long with a warm up and minute cool down.
There is no Killer Move at the end of this workout. I was also finally able to use my weighted gloves in this workout. Unfortunately, this workout was a huge disappointment. It was what I had been expecting more of in Tapout XT early on—kickboxing—but it was low intensity and no fun. You do each combo approx one minute, 30 seconds each side of the body. There is a woman in this workout that Mike keeps focusing his attention on and her form is horrible. And his attention is never once on correcting her form.
It looks like she is not even doing the same combo everyone else is doing. Her arms are just flying around. Why does he not correct her form? He just teases her—not about form either. It makes zero sense. Another waste of time workout. Active recovery for 30 seconds which is just alternating knee raises Total workout time is actually around minutes, but since it is so short, I will list the exact seconds usually I round up or down to the 30 second mark.
The idea is that a round during an MMA fight is 5 minutes. So this will give you 5 solid minutes of intense Tapout XT moves. None of them are new—they all appear somewhere in the Tapout XT program. And he has only 3 crew members with him and no MMA fighters. You get second warm up, a 5 minute round of non-stop exercises and a 37 second cool down. You need a lighter band for this workout.
High punches with bands 2. Plyo explosive push ups 3. Burpee to alternating knee strike 4. Grap band and do overhead tricep press 5.
Explosive bicycles 6. Knee strikes mountain climbers 7. Upper cut with squats band under feet 8. Killer move : Roll up with push up do plow, then jump body into plank, do a push up, jump body back to back and keep repeating.

I am not jumping around for anyone. I do one leg star jump and modify routines to suit my ability. What mike is doing is down right dangerous. Like Liked by 1 person. I will keep an eye on Hardcore to see if it is offered as a daily deal. She is hard but fun! Always impressed how she instructs the whole way and works out the whole time!
Will check out your rotation page. Like Like. Funny… I bought STS after completing lean legs but still have yet to complete it. I completed BodyBeast. Some of the things that makes me think I will end up doing STS 1. It was expensive so I need to do it, 2.
I can fit in other workouts during the rotation. Just NOT ready to commit to a long program yet. I actually think I an going to complete Edge Booty 2 next. My legs can take a lot and her first disc of legs the weighted super sets I have completed 3 times and it works my legs good — my forearms are always sore and burnt out near the end as I like to go heavier…so holding the weight that long….
Any break I stretch my forearms out. Edge Booty 2 was tough! Excellent workouts tho. And the entire Hardcore series which Gym Styles is a part of is excellent. I used to do it but now I just put my own rotations together. If I like it, I will post it on my rotations page. Read the Cathe one as well on STS cardio. I still have Cathe STS to start. Just having fun with Chisel workouts, 21dayfix extreme and JM body shred and some of Cathe X10, afterburner etc.
I had Tapout workouts on my wishlist forever! I always feel like I should and sometimes I plan to, but the idea of listening to Mike always makes me change my mind!

Skip to content I have been wanting the Tapout XT workouts for a very long time but they were expensive according to their website the program is cheaper now than it used to be, but still more than I want to pay. Workouts: 1. Squat and kick. Plank step ins in plank, alternate bringing foot to outside of hand. Squat touch ground and also alternate kicks. Water break 9. Stretch calf raises. Running lunges in lunge switch legs fast, staying low the whole time.
Running lunges same as Lateral lunge with curtsey kick lateral lunge into curtsey lunge into front push kick. Speed skaters. Lateral hops same as 19 but on the other leg. One of the main differences between Tapout and some of the other exercise programs is that Karpenko does not sugar-coat the facts. The Tapout trainers do not hide the fact that their program achieves results with sweat.
Weight Loss Industry Hype The diet and exercise industry is filled with products that promise more than they deliver. The program makes serious promises, but Karpenko show that achieving a toned body takes a ton of commitment.
Whereas most products make unsubstantiated claims, Tapout XT admits that regular exercise is essential, and the DVDs are only a tool. The Cost Tapout XT is comparable with many of the other leading workout programs, and several different merchants currently sell the exercise DVD. The program is also backed by a full-satisfaction guarantee. Committing to Weight Loss Goals One of the chief differences between Tapout XT and many of the other leading workout programs is that Karpenko readily admits that exercise is a lifelong commitment.
That being said, the Tapout program requires 90 days of regular exercise. The good news is that the exercises are easy to perform at home and require minimal equipment. Most of the moves are inspired by MMA-style training. The program offers to burn up to 1, calories during a single session that takes place over the course of 30 minutes to an hour.
Because there are twelve different routines in the system, the program targets virtually every different muscle group in the body. Tapout XT is a great choice that stands apart from the competition in a number of ways.
One of the best things about the exercise program is that there are no expensive dumbbells or equipment that is required. In addition, the workouts are easy to do at home and only require a spare hour at the most. What you will find inside the program is 12 different workouts that are perfect for home use and require little in the way of specialized equipment.
The different workouts do require resistance bands at some time, and they come with the complete set. Resistance training is one of the most effective forms of exercise, and the Tapout XT program provides results when the DVDs are followed regularly.
Tapout XT is an incredibly popular product, and there are several fans who have commented on the results that they achieved with their commitment and hard work.
