Your Best Body: Sculpt And Groove
Kacy DukeYear Released: 1997
Categories: Circuit Training (cardio and weights)
I selected this video because I was looking form something less high impact than Sweat Express, yet would keep me motivated on days I really didn't feel like working out (and I was getting tired of Donna-Mite). I was not disappointed. Kacy Duke gives a refreshing insight into floor aerobics. The warm up is wonderful - set to classical music - ballet inspired. There are six sections (approximately 5-7 minutes each) - three aerobics sections, three sculping sections (weights are optional).
The aerobics sections are not high impact, but what she refers to as an "organic groove"- very free flowing. She uses some basic African dance steps - a form of dance I've always wanted to learn.
The sculping focuses on upper and lower body- the moves include squats, triceps and biceps.
Kacy uses a chair for the cool-down. Although I at first thought that I wouldn't get a good stretch from this, I found it as equally invigorating as the warm-up.
Those of you who enjoy high-impact might find this tape not very challenging, but as an intermediate/advanced exerciser, I loved it.
Instructor Comments:
I love Kacy Duke! She is absolutely wonderful in this
video - VERY soothing, encouraging and supporting. She
gives excellent pointers on form - aerobics and the
sculping sections. I hope she will make another tape, preferably
high-impact.
