Stott Conditioning: Flex-band Workout

I bought this video after reading the recommendations from the collage video staff. I have decided to rely on the opinions of other VFers instead. I hated this video after doing it only once. I love the Stott intermediate and advanced workouts--2nd edition and thought this would be similar.

I found the flexband extremely cumbersome since the band kept folding up on my foot and I kept having to adjust it. I must not have been holding the band correctly because I spent more time hunched forward trying to keep the band steady so I ended up with painful wrists and an exhausted back. I do not see how this could resemble work on a performer since that machine is stable and does not need constant manipulation to work.

This might work for some but I would suggest sticking with the matwork or just getting a performer instead.

Instructor Comments:
She does not have the most glittering personality but she does come across as very professional, knowledgable, trustworthy, and concerned about safety. Her videos seem a bit explanation-heavy but everything she says is truly useful.
