What a great little DVD, especially when you factor in the low price!
Three 10 minute workouts--- one each for lower body, upper body, and abs comprises this DVD. You might think 10 minutes is not enough time to get a good workout, but Keli packs a lot into each routine.
The DVD has already been broken down, but I will talk about some of the highlights for me. For the lower body, I really liked the bridge work. This one you will really feel in your hamstrings-- mine were burning! I also liked the squat variation with one leg on the ball, rolling the ball out in front of you. Very tough.
For the upper body, Keli does a standard dumbell routine, but the use of the stability ball as a "bench" gives the moves a different feel. I found the chest work pretty difficult and had to use lower weight for flys and presses than I usually do when lying on my step.
The ab work was good, but there were some moves that I just could not do. As for the V pikes, if this is the "easier" version (compared to Cathe's in the pyramid workouts)I will have no need to try anything more advanced for a long time.
I like the set up of this workout. Sometimes I just add one segment to another workout, and sometimes I do the whole thing. When I do the whole thing, it seems like it is over before I know it.
