EVOLUTION20 Phase I


This DVD contains five 20 minute workouts. Christine works out with 2 backgrounders, both showing varying intensities and Christine working out at somewhere in between. You will not need any equipment for these workouts. The set is a nice open brick style gym. Each workout contains a quick warm up & cool down.

Power: You will perform 3 circuits of 4 exercises each. Exercises include lunge to squat, fast feet -tuck jumps, elevator plank to pushup, sprinter sit ups, knee up jumps, cross punch & jump, crab kick & reach, crunch & knee pull, floor touch 180 jumps, burpees, plank to side plank, and plyo donkey kicks.

Agility: This workout contains mini-combos and the moves build on each other. The work in this section is nonstop. Exercises include: toe taps, grapevine, jumps, jump & punch, fast feet, jacks, shuffle speed bag, side push, and sprinkler.

Balance: Exercises in this core intensive yoga inspired routine are: cat cow, bird dog adding elbow to knee pull, down dog, rag doll, 3 leg dog, plank knee pull variations, toe pliets, crescent pose, side plank knee raise, up dog, warrior poses, tree, and superman.

Foundation: Exercises in this yoga & strength fusion workout include Mt. climber, 1/2 roll down, V twists, hundred, pilates bike, rolling like a ball, low back work, side plank hip drops, side lying leg series, bridge kicks, V flutter kicks & hold and concludes with rolling like a ball to standing.

I rate these high intermediate routines following Christine. Def some advanced exercises mixed in there, but easy to follow one of the 3 mods to get a workout just your own. Christine has a great personality, is motivating but not over the top & provides great pointers & motivation. Unique workouts that accomplish a lot in only 20 minutes.
