Certified instructor description: A powerful, athletic-style interval workout that includes momentary “freezes” within the exercise sequences. These well-planned pauses boost the intensity by eliminating momentum as they also force true mental concentration (with an almost zen-like focus). The short cardio segments are mostly high-impact; they range from kicks and jumps to squat thrusts and power jacks. The high-rep, often multi-muscle toning sections feature a huge variety of challenging modifications (e.g. pushup variations: elbow-knee pushups, spider pushups, full rotation pushups and jump-squat pushups). Lalo’s one-on-one voiceover cuing is calm and purposeful. Includes an on-screen timer. Requires 2 to 5 lb. dumbbells. ©2009. DVD has: Music only option, Spanish option.

Lalofit II: The Freeze Technique
Innovative total body workout
I had mixed feelings about buying this workout because the reviews seemed uneven and I thought LaloFit1 was too easy. Well, I'm so glad I took the risk! This workout is definitely advanced and challenging yet there is no dread factor. It flew by quickly and didn't require me pulling out every toy in the toy box. I was a sweaty mess at the end of it. I'm glad I took the plunge on this one! I think this would make a terrific travel workout, too. I'm late to the LaloFit2 party, but consider this to be one of my favorite purchases of 2012. - posted by Michelle E. on 4/16/2012

ok...
This workout was just ok for me. I would say it's more intermediate/advanced. There wasn't a lot of intense cardio so, maybe that's why. However, it is called the Freeze technique. It's different and worth trying. I don't think I will do this on a regular basis, but perhaps keep it for light workout days. It's one that I can see myself getting bored with. - posted by Marie on 2/15/2012

I connected!
I think Lalo listens to his fans because he corrected a major deficiency from his first Freeze offering, which was excellent but suffered from poor cueing - here he has provided a countdown clock as well as a rep counter. I found I needed to add some light cardio before starting his warmup intro to hard stretching. I love the workout itself, which features longer segments using his freeze technique and shorter basic cardio spurts, along with very timely 30 second rests. Alas, Lalo's grunting is noticeable but I found it especially annoying in only one segment (come on Lalo, I am 54 and not grunting doing that same drill). In other segments it was more like audible heavy breathing I used to mirror my reps to his without having to look at the screen. And yes Lalo does look grungy (and somewhat tired) which detracts from his good looks. Very thorough cool-down I'm glad I did not skip because it was followed by a wonderful "People of the Sun" music video featuring Ravi and his drums and incredible small airplane maneuvers. Awesome! - posted by Susan W. on 1/8/2012

A Different Approach
This workout uses a hold technique which is challenging and effective. It is not filled with fancy choreography, but is a basic gym type workout - although some of the moves are challenging and require good joints, especially knee and shoulder. I must take it slow and careful to build up to anywhere near what Lalo is doing, but still I am getting a good workout. As a dancer I have learned that slow dances require much more control and skill than the fast ones. This workout operates on the same principle. I am glad I bought it. - posted by Joyce on 7/2/2011

AWESOME
This is a no-nonsense workout, no little pretty outfits or fancy crap. I wish there were more like it. - posted by Bryn on 5/5/2011

Different, but good
First off, I am a die hard Cathe type of workout girl. Have recently been experimenting with others and came upon Lalo. The workout is very different than what I am used to, but also challenging. I have used it several times and usually do a few sets, get on the treadmill for 5 minutes, do another few sets, jump on treadmill for 5 min. and so on. Gives me a good sweat and works the body in ways that it normally does not get worked. A bit too many push up exercises for my liking,(or capabilities....ie: spider push up or push up leg twisted behind you...UGH!!!) but that's what makes it a nice addition to my library. Definitely recommend this. - posted by Jodi on 2/2/2011

Tough!
I have Lalo's first video and it was really hard to follow with poor cuing. I really like this video; it has great cuing, a countdown timer and number of reps on the screen. It is a very hard and intense workout; I love it! - posted by Shawna on 1/31/2011

love it
Lalo's real good. Workout requires effort, strength, and concentration. Different pace with freeze technique. Nice change, Lalo's cool and calm. Like music too. - posted by Connie on 1/17/2011

Different Workout...Very Creative!
Like the bodyweight moves and continuous motion. Wish the short workout were longer and the long workout were shorter. In total, one of my favorites. - posted by Walt on 9/24/2010

Amazing Workout!!
I've been doing this workout for the last 5 weeks and my muscles thank me every time. Lalo does an excellent job on this one and can't wait for more of his videos. This is the true hard core workout for a serious exerciser. If you are looking for sparks and smiles, this is not for you. I ordered one for my sister in law and she's very pleased with the results. Great job Lalo! - posted by Samantha on 8/11/2010

Your review will appear on this site within 2-3 days as long as it fits our guidelines. We do NOT post reviews that:

Use profanity, obscenities or are just plain mean-spirited.
Are single word critiques -- readers need to know why you liked or didn't like the workout.
Include non-Collage phone numbers, addresses, URLs, or pricing information.
Are written in all-caps -- it just seems like screaming.
Do not appear to be genuine, honest and helpful to others.
Are personal attacks on the instructor or on other video reviewers (i.e. posts that do not primarily discuss the content of this video).

Note: Please do the video a few times before you write a review so you're sure about your long-term opinion. And try to be specific about what you liked, or didn't. For example on a video, "Hard to follow" might mean you thought the video was poorly cued. Or it might just mean that it has complex choreography.

Also, it's helpful to give a little information about yourself (e.g. your fitness level, style preferences, age). It will help others better understand your comments.

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.

Music only option

This feature allows you to play only the music, without any cuing (after you’ve learned the movements and you just want to do the workout without listening to the instruction).

Spanish option

In addition to English, you can choose to hear the program in Spanish.

Level

Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Aerobics impact

Lower Impact: Both feet never leave the ground at the same time. This minimizes stress on your knees.

Higher Impact: Includes movements like jumps, hops and skips. Very high-impact is called plyometrics.

Mixed Impact: This alternates or combines the above styles.

Aerobics choreography

Basic: The easiest to follow. It ranges from simple walking-style marches to sports and athletic movements.

Complex: More intricate combinations and patterns. They're ideal for people who like to dance.

Moderate: More interesting than Basic, less dancy than Complex.

Toning emphasis

Upper body: Arms, chest and back.

Lower Body: Legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.

Abs: Abdominals (stomach), core and sometimes lower back.

Total body: Tones all three of the above muscle groups.

Floor aerobics & toning

Definition: Includes two workout activities. The aerobics segments are fast-paced standing movements like marching, dancing and jumping. These segments require no equipment. The toning sections are slow, controlled movements working against a resistance. These may include Pilates and weight training.

Benefits: The combination of both activities provides a balanced workout. The aerobics burns calories, strengthens your heart and increases stamina. The toning builds lean muscles, increases your metabolism and makes everyday activities easier.
