Floor work (11:02)

Stretch (6:06)
▪ Hamstring stretch
▪ Inner thigh stretch on the wall

Notes:
▪ Music is ok, kind of generic but good beat
▪ There is nothing wrong with this workout but it does not offer anything unique – every move in it is done better in some other iballet workout
▪ There is quite a bit of ab work (about 17 min) and little lower body floor work (only 6 min)
▪ I don’t enjoy the stretching done at the wall (moving close to the wall and away from it to get into position is annoying)
