This woman is in her 50s and looks AMAZING! She as much energy as my 5 year old nephew and she motivates me!
I have almost 10 Denise dvds. I love that many of her routines are 10 minutes long. As a teacher, I was SUPER BUSY and found it hard to find any time to fit in exercise. 10 minutes seemed about all I could do before crashing into bed.
I chose this video because it uses the stability ball.
I will be real honest. I have gained a considerable amount of weight in my belly and I think that is why I am having a lot of back pain right now. Weak muscles in the front, causes extra stress on my back. Yep...no fun.
So, the stability ball offers support for my back. I like that.
This dvd includes:
- 5 minute warm up (5 min)
- Core & upper body workout (15 min)
- Core & legs workout (15 min)
- Core & buns workout (15 min)
- Core Complete Challenge (full body workout=18 min)
Fitness level: Beginner to Advanced (Denise shows how to modify the moves to fit your level)
Equipment needed: stability ball and hand weights
Tonight I chose the warm up and the Core & buns workout. The warm up went fast. I loved it. Not difficult, but definitely got my heart rate up there.
The Core & Buns workout also went by fast. Denise had me going from weights to ball and floor to standing up. Lots of movement. There was only one point when I had a REALLY hard time balancing and I felt like a total goon. I finally, moved the ball and myself close to a chair so I had some stability.
Other than my own balance issues, I felt like this workout gave me plenty of moves to strengthen my gluteus maximus and my core. In fact, I could really feel the workout in my thighs after the dvd was over. No pain, no gain, right?
I would give this dvd an A.
