This workout has a lot of yoga type stretches in it. It is not your typical toning video. Alot of deep breathing with yoga type stretches. They start off with a warm up that was too dull. Very slow. Petra was getting all the muscles warm by being aware of them.

Then she starts in a combo of deep breathing and then into a yogaish type combo. Three modifications are shown. One is down dog (the easy modification is reaching out with your arms and resting your buttocks on your heels). Petra keeps her knees bent in the down dog position. Then the other girl shows down dog. Then they do a push up position to up dog but they don't tilt there head back. They repeat this a lot. Then the toning is easy dips , inner and outer thigh sweeps. I would say that this workout is athletic/yoga type stretches. The arm work has tricep dips and pushups.

The ab work is similiar to the Method with isolation teaser (I think this is what it was called), alternating knees into the body, crunches (not too many) and standing torso oblique bends. The cool down was soothing. Petra does a mini "corpse" pose which is relaxing.

Although this workout has a lot of yoga based stretches like bringing the foot up to the knee to stretch out the inner thigh after the inner thigh sweeps, the word yoga is not mentioned. All in all, I felt this workout seemed to just drag on. It didn't hold my attention and the toning was too easy since I'm used to using heavy weights. I think Petra is a wonderful instructor but I just didn't like doing a video when I look at the clock every minute.

Instructor Comments:
As always, Petra is friendly and full of smiles. She does a good job on instructing and showing modifications.
