Jazzercise: Ballet Body
About the dvd:
40 min. "Total Body Workout" 20 min. "Accelerated workout" (shortened version of the 40 min. workout) 10 min. pilates-inspired "Ab Burn" 10 min "Leg Burn" (which was a burner indeed and a crazy balance challenge for me!) (Can see break-down graphs at Collage.) Initial impressions:
Pros:
Cons:
The one segment I did NOT love: the "foot articulation" chapter. Lots of pointing the toe, dragging the foot back. It wouldn't have been so bad except that they also did it quickly/add pulses. I think I got rug burn on the bottom of my big toes... Plus I have pretty stiff ankles (lots of sports injuries from high school) and the quick point/brush/heels together/repeat was difficult for me. Overall, not sure this will get a lot of use from me. If I was doing more barre, it might be nice for a change of pace. I kind of felt like it was to ballet what Turbo Barre is to barre (make sense?). A more athletic (fitness club) version of ballet. |
