This Spri video uses exerbands, an exertube, and
exerbar. Each piece of equipment has its own 10 minute
workout. The first one was exerbands and felt that was
the easiest part, unless you use 2 bands or a thicker
one to make it more of a challenge. The whole video is
filmed outside with some palm trees in the backdrop,
but you also see part of a pool & fence. It might have
been filmed at either Tamilee's house! I don't know.
There is music, but you can barely hear it at times. I
did recognize 1 song from Mega Step Blast. There is no
official warm up, but before the 2nd or 3rd segment
she starts out with a few side steps, as if that was
to be the opener originally.
First 10 minutes (featuring exerbands) works the
biceps, triceps, chest, back and for the lower body
the inner & outer thigh, quads & hamstrings.
The 2nd workout features the exertube. There is alot
more lower body work in this section and more focus on
shoulders. There are lunges, squats and hamstring &
glute press-backs in this one. I really felt this in
my hips! She also has you take the handle and loop it
through and stand on the tubing for the inner thigh
work.
The last segment featured the exerbar. I loved the
over head tricep presses and shoulder presses in this
one. There were some lat rows; you roll the tubing
around the bar to make it more challenging. She also
did the same style of hamstring & glute press-backs in
this segment as she did in the previous one. I really
felt a burn from 2 sets. She also does some oblique
work standing, but there is no floor work or other ab
work in this video.
Overall this is a good video if you like Spri
equipment. The first segment felt like it was beginner
level, but the rest was somewhere between beg/int and
intermediate level. Even though I liked the video
somewhat, it wasn't a favorite and sat on my shelf. I
have since traded the video, but the new owner enjoyed
it when she emailed me to thank me. I'd still rate it
a B+.
