Strength and Grace

Minna Lessig
Year Released: 2000

Categories: Total Body Workouts


I did this workout for the first time today and I really like it! It reminds me a lot of Angles, Lines & Curves (by Kari Anderson). This workout is a combination of yoga, dance and strength training (but no weights are used...just the body's own resistance). I would say the difference between this workout and Angles, Lines & Curves is that this one is more yoga & toning based, whereas ALC has an equal balance of dance, pilates and yoga. Strength & Grace does have some dance built into it, which makes it more enjoyable and the music, although fairly non-distinct, is pleasant (African/Middle Eastern elements so it has a World Music feel). The set is very colorful and pleasant to look at and the production is nice as well.

What I like about this workout is that it is a solid (and sometimes challenging) workout but no weights are used, so it is perfect for in-between-weight-training-days.

Overall, I really like this video and highly recommend it.

Instructor Comments:
I really like Minna. She's pleasant and natural in front of the camera, she has great form and she is inspiring as well.
