Slim in 6: Start It Up

I am reviewing the 24 minute Start It Up workout. First of all, I am restarting after a year-long break due to a difficult pregnancy. So, I am an advanved exerciser in a beginners body!

What I did NOT like about the workout -
1. There was no stretch at the end. Two yoga poses is not enough. I think this is a major oversight for a beginners video.
2. Debbie cues as she is doing the move so I was always playing catch up. Not a huge deal since the moves are so simple but still frustrating.
3. Debbie does not mirror image cue. When she says right she means her right, your left. Major pet peeve of mine.
4. Personally I felt the lunges could have been slowed down just a tad. I've done them before so didn't wobble but they would be difficult for someone who has never done them before.

What I did like about the workout.
1. It was short and to the point. Good leg workout in a short amount of time. I was very sore afterward - could barely walk for 3 days!

All in all, I didn't like the workout very much. It is only intended to be used a few times to get familiar with the SI6 routine before moving on and that is a good thing because I don't see myself ever using it again.

Instructor Comments:
Debbie is very encouraging, stresses the importance of going at your own pace - very likeable.
