This is the second tape of the two tape package from
AlternativeFitness. In this video you get to put into practice all
you've learned in the tutorial video (Pt. 1). It's broken down into four
segments and the tape is about one and a quarter hours long. Part 1
Breathing and Flexibility This segment is yoga based with a rising
childs pose, cat and dog stretch,one arm/leg balance, down dog weith
single leg stretch, cobra and standing forward bends. Part 2 Strength
and Endurance Standing poses for leg strength takes you through sun
salutations and warrior poses. Part 3 Core Control This segment is all
Pilates matwork including the hundred, roll ups,leg circles, single and
double leg stretch, pelvic lifts plus more. They use a fitness circle
and ball for two exercises but more for leverage and balance. Part 4
Full Body Control This part uses the reformer (and is the longest
segment--about 35 min.) which would be great except I don't have a
reformer. She does lots of exercises all strictly on the reformer.
Finishes up with a yoga type relaxation segment. I think these two
videos are a great intro to the mind/body fitness approach and hope to
use them alot. The only downside for me is that I can only use half of
the second tape since I have no reformer. This wasn't made clear on the
website.
Instructor comments: Very descriptive instructor with a mellow voice.
