FitPrime Just Right Flex Posture - Thoughts

Image
Volume 12 in the original FitPrime series of workouts is Just Right Flex Posture. It is an 40 minute workout and it features Anna Benson as the lead. Pilates and Yoga are the principle disciplines used to give your body a thorough stretch and to work on your flexibility. Many of the exercises use isometric holds.

The back of the DVD cover states "The Just Right series is not too hard, but beautifully effective." I agree with that statement. I didn't think this workout hard but I certainly felt I got a good workout. This workout is a Non-Dominant Trainer workout. Not only does this Just Right workout work your non-dominant (weak) side first, Anna also gives you more reps to do on the weak side than she does on the strong side. For instance, you will do a single arm shoulder raise. You might do three reps on the weak side and one rep on the strong side. This is by design. So for those of you who have to do the same amount reps per side, this may not be the workout for you. The cardio is very simple and much of it lacks intensity. There is this bunny hop section that alternates with calf work ( releve ). I found this ...
