Cleo’s Rockin Legs N Abs, day 1 down!
-
I like the speed because I feel like it gets me warmed up. I am probably in the minority because I like the ballistic type stretches. they just work for my body. I feel like I know my body well enough to do those types of stretches. I warm up fast and I gradually increase my ballistic drops. I hold back slightly and build into it as I go. I agree that this may not be the best DVD for a beginner. I also do the alethea pure splits dvd, and there is no explanation there as well. I’m ok with these dvd’s not having explanation, I get my info from other sources and use it to supplement the dvd’s. If you’re a non-flexy beginner these dvd’s may not be for you. from what I’ve read, both of these dvd’s really warn that they are not for educational purposes. take that to heart. they mean it. that being said, I love both dvd’s and the variety of exercises I get from them. you really have to modify as a beginner though. don’t kick as high. if you cant do the same speed, do the same exercise but at a slower speed. But I totally understand it is frustrating when you are not able to match what they are doing and you are not sure what it is even supposed to look like at a less advanced level. there really is a need for this type of instruction and I’m surprised no one has really taken advantage of it. it helps to know what the stretches look like for different levels.
