I have the same question about what the method is. My take is that is fusion of traditional calisthenics, barre/Pilates/Callanetics, four limb aerobics i.e. Firm, and hI/low aerobics 80's- 90's style. Some of all of these! (Edit to add, but I am not the HDM expert or long-term fan, I have the same questions as you do).
I also think he needs form pointers. I like the workouts and feel like they are effective, but if I hadn't already done lots of barre, Pilates, Classical Stretch, fusion-type stuff, I might be frustrated because he doesn't give much instruction, at least in the stuff of his I have. Since the moves are slower in Blitzmatics, I try to fully extend my limbs and use opposition as in Pilates, CS, etc., and also lift/lower in extension. There are a couple of places in BM where I still cannot tell exactly what angle his leg is in or how a hip or shoulder is rotated, though. I wish he would do at least a short instructional of the basics of his Method and moves. Since he openly gave credit to the ModelFit people as inspiration for his Blitzmatics, I found this video helpful. You will recognize many moves from the BM series, and I got more of a sense of what is supposed to be happening. I posted this in another thread so hope I don't annoy anyone being redundant. https://intothegloss.com/2015/01/home-workout-modelfit/ |
