Expanding further into sport training, this program prepares the athlete in their preferred sport. Sahra and several olympians perform active stretches in a lengthened position. The dvd is broken down into the following chapters:

*Standing
*Floor Work
*Barre Work
*Splits

You'll also be able to choose your own sound options: music & voice, music only or voice only.

The set is the same as the other Essentric Workout Sahra put out. The music is instrumental & serene, working well for this type of workout.

You'll begin with a brief warmup. (I'd suggest doing the program after a good cardio session to further enhance the benefits) The standing session puts extra emphasis on the upper body. You'll work into the upper & lower back, deltoids, rhomboids, traps, triceps and biceps--it is very thorough! You'll also feel it in your chest. This would make a great session for those whose sport includes tennis or swimming. You are always moving (the stretches are very fluid), yet it is very relaxing. Sahra also demonstrates exercises to stretch the ankles, feet and legs. The floor work session targets tight hips, hamstrings, quads, groin, psoas and even into the lower back area. One person modifies for those that aren't as flexible. Great for runners, bikers or anyone that demands extra attention to their lower body. The split section is a "bonus" section for those that want to work up to doing full splits.

Tons of variety and beautiful music make this workout standout. You'll feel relaxed, increase your flexibility, help prevent injury and gain better mobility in your joints.
