Resista-Barre Total Body Workout

This 95 minute workout contains four pre-mixes and is fully chaptered. You can play all, select a premix, or go straight to the section you want via the chapter menu. The workout contains a warm up & cool down as well. Linda works out alone in a studio gym. You will need a chair, a stretchy band, and a fitness loop for these workouts. Modifications come up on the screen for some exercises.

Exercises include: punch & side toe taps, abduction & punch downs, squat -abduct with rainbow arms, mambo front & back, 1/2 circle leg sweep & tap, mambo chasse, V step adding squats, heel digs, rear leg taps & raises, and side to side shifts. Linda uses big arm movements and the pace is quick so your HR stays up there!

Exercises include V sit double crunches with pushouts, leg extensions, side tap outs, diagonal push outs, toe drops, V sit & punch, sit ups adding rotation, and V twists.

I rate these high intermediate routines. I definitely felt the burn on all of these segments. TONS of variety, chapters, and premixes ensures I will get a ton of use out of this DVD. Great unique exercises. Linda provides excellent instruction & form reminders. I really enjoy Linda's instruction style and look forward to trying her other workouts. I received this DVD to review.
