The Figure 8 workouts are fast-paced and have advanced choreography (in my opinion) but anyone (from beginner to the advanced home exerciser) should try them. You can make them as cardio-intense as you want.
I think the workouts are primarily designed for women, however, there are men in the team of exercisers in some of the workouts, some of the testimonials feature men and the co-creator of the program is a man, so what do I know.
Jnl Fusion Workout Torrents
As someone who dove directly into the workout library (this is how I normally approach new workout programs, and may or may not be how you do things), I was a little confused about where to start (and how to use Figure 8 vs. JNL Fusion in my workout calendar).
This was a helpful review. With so many ads vying for attention, it is hard for me to trust what is real. I am willing to try the 30-day trial. Really looking forward to adding a dance style routine to my workout.Thanks 1StrgSthrnGrl!
I found this really helpful. I needed to hear a review for sure. I am not interested in the meal part so this was perfect. I am looking for FUN in my workout as I realize I need the endorphins/hormonal rush from FUN to help me keep motivated. You made me feel this is the right program for me

Workout 2: Hip Pain Relief and Stretch. Equipment: a chair and optional theraband. I do not suffer from hip pain so I cannot confirm that it alleviates hip pain but I definitely felt it in my hips! Not a difficult workout, but Miranda takes your whole body through range of motion/flexibility exercises with a focus on your hips. The workout starts with a dynamic flexibility/range of motion warm up that focuses on the upper body then transitions into being total body. Next you focus on loosening up the hips. You do some gentle lunges. Next you do a hip exercise, legs wide, hinged forward at waist while lunging side to side. Get a chair. You will do hip range of motion exercise for the hips using the chair for balance. Next you do hip and leg stretches using the chair and a theraband if you need it. The workout ends with more stretches for the lower body using the chair but also incorporating range of motion upper body work.
Workout 5: Back Pain Relief. Equipment: chair. I do not currently have back pain but if I did, I really do not believe this workout would help it. In fact, I think it would make it worse. But with that said, I found this to be a very nice mobility/dynamic flexility workout that may prevent back pain. With my back currently pain-free, this workout felt good. It starts with mobility exercises that focus on the spine and upper body. Next she has you some low impact/low intensity cardio moves (side steps, knee raises, etc). Return to range of motion/dynamic flexibility exercises that focus on spine, shoulder and upper body. Next you do dynamic stretching for the hip flexors, calves and hamstrings. Get your chair. Do various versions of barre squats using the chair for balance. Place your foot on chair seat for various dynamic lower body mobility/stretching. You continue the lower body mobility/flexibility exercises but she adds upper body to the mix. Using the chair, do mobility/flexibility for the spine.
Workout 6: Full Body Strengthening. Equipment: mat, hemorrhoid pillow and a large flat yoga block. This was a very good total body bodyweight strength and mobility workout. Miranda probably hits every muscle in the body very nicely. I also bought a hemorrhoid pillow specifically for these workouts and Miranda is right! It does align your hips perfectly for the mat exercises! If you like lower body mat work then get one. They are cheap. They come in different sizes so get a larger one since you are laying on your side with your hip in the hole. I plan to use mine for all of my mat work now. The workout starts with some pretty vigorous upper body work focusing on the fingers/hands. Next you move into your lower body doing low impact cardio moves. The tempo of the moves slow down and you do total body range of motion/strength/mobility exercises. Next is wide plie squat work. Then you return to the upper body and hands/fingers for more range of motion/strengthening exercises. Get your mat and pillow for floor work that works both your lower body and core with the same exercises. Sit on the flat yoga block for hip stretches.
Workout 8: Long Adductor. Equipment: chair. This was a nice full body mobility/flexibility workout with a focus on the inner thigh. But as usual, Miranda still manages to hit most of your muscles and joints. She even has a short arm/hand segment that started making my arms burn. The workout starts warming up the lower body with stationary side lunges. Add sports themed range of motion upper body movements (frisbee, tennis, golf, baseball). Continue the lower body movement but the upper body range of motion moves become more flowing and strength focused, and the spine becomes more involved. Next you focus on the hands, fingers and arms with strengthening and mobility exercises. Move to the lower body, focusing on the hips and inner thighs with range of motion and flexibility exercises. Then the focus moves to the quads. Get your chair. Do barre squat variations using the chair for balance. Next you will do barre leg lift variations. Next you will use the chair for lower body flexibility and mobility exercises. Continue the lower body flexibility/mobility work but Miranda adds the upper body to involve the spine.
Workout #11: Finger Arthritis. No equipment used in this workout. This felt like a fairly gentle workout. Miranda, as usual, managed to work your entire body through mobility, flexibility and even some strength work but nothing challenging or difficult. Another feel good workout. This workout starts with toe tap variations, plie squat stretches and front kicks. Next is spinal mobility work with your arms flowing to assist. Next you move to lower body work by contracting then relaxing your legs while doing narrow then wide plie squat variations. Next Miranda moves into full body flexibility/mobility exercises followed by clockwork kick/leg lifts (kicking in all directions). At this point (15 minutes into the workout) you finally move into the finger workout. Miranda has you making fists the stretching your fingers wide then doing more finger stretching and wrist work. The entire time your arms are extended out straight to sides. Lunge side to side with various arm reaches. Next she has you do spine work with body rounded forward, swaying side to side with arms moving gently to assist in stretching the spine and the shoulders. 2ff7e9595c
