Classical Stretch Core Workout

Miranda Esmonde-White
Year Released: 2010

Categories: Athletic Stretch


Classical Stretch Core workout is my favorite CS workout to date. It's a total body workout with an emphasis on posture. It's relatively easier compared to other CS total body workout but here are the reasons why i love this:
1. It works on the spine a lot (e.g. Caribbean spine series) and it leaves me a sweaty mess.
2. Works on the posture and unkinks back tensions and aches (at least for me). After doing this I feel taller and more relaxed.
3. Miranda is relatively more focused so she is able to provide better cuing with fairly even counts throughout.
4. This is a good 'primer' for Season 7 since S7 uses Caribbean spine exercises a lot. So even if Miranda doesn't cue or teach those moves in S7, you know cause you've done them in the Core workout.

I usually skip the short floor segement where she works the abs. There are some crunches and a some moves for the lower ab.

The last section is the 'chair' work. It strengthens and stretches the lower body. It's kind of good too. Releases tension and elongates the muscles.

Instructor Comments:
As I mentioned, Miranda is more focused here although she still chats a bit. I don't really mind Miranda's chatting as long as she can keep her counts even.
