Soul Of Strength

I am, admittingly, a big Baron Baptiste fan. I love this video for a challenging full body strengthening workout. I also have his Unlocking Athletic Power and this one is similar in intensity but twice as long (55 minutes versus 25 minutes).

This video has it all - Sun Salutations to get you started, warriors 1 and 2 and other variations, triangle and reverse triangle, a balancing series, floor, back, and abdominal work, and even crow (arm balance).

Baron is also good about balancing the sides of the body (I hate it when you do something on one side longer than the other). He also talks you through a variety of modifications - some you can see for yourself, some he just tells you about.

I recommend this one for a challenge ! If you want something shorter, but still like the intensity, give Unlocking Athletic Power a try (lots of great hip work there too).

Instructor Comments:
Baron is a very knowledgeable and non intimidating instrucotor. His cuing is straightforward and encouraging.
