Dana this is a four dvd set that a VFer gifted me. I had never seen it. If I had, I'm not sure I would have purchased because the cover gives no idea of the content or the instructor. The DVDs are led by either Shelley or Jen Tilley. My husband calls this my hippie workouts because the presentation is rather loosey goosey. They giggle and make mistakes on when to inhale. He has sat behind me and asked if the breaks are when they take a drink, lol. When I was younger this would have irked me. For some reason, since I know what to expect, I know when to use it. I use it when I need movement but am just feeling the need to hang out with friends and destress. Maybe it's covid and it makes me feel like I'm hanging out with my friends? Not sure but I know it's when I don't need intensity.
So I decided to do the Chi ball workout on the Beach pilates set. Lovely with the right ball. I started with my weighted 3# but it was too heavy for the movement. Used one of my balance pods and it was perfect. A pilates ball would work. Great destressing workout very flowy. Yes they were silly and Shelley had miscues on breathing. Honestly didn't matter.
Carol I see you picked up the Jenny Ford. I will probably pick those up too. Hoping they will be the first walking workouts that don't have me watching the clock. Also that pup story is adorable!
Cheri looking forward to seeing you whenever you have time in April.
Christine and Brenda miss you!!
Donna sending you rest vibes!!
