One of my yoga clients and friends told me about this workout…and of course I couldn’t resist. After P90x, bootcamps and jillian michael’s DVDs, how hard could it be? I will note that I did the workout sans rollerskates.
The Heart Attacks play roller derby in Los Angeles and are sharing their fitness secrets with the rest of us. The workout’s 50 minutes long.
My experience:
Wow! I just finished this workout and it’s good! yes, there are a few things to note…the derby girls are a bit scantily clad so if that offends you, this might not be for you. As with many DVDs, once you get the hang of it, you don’t watch it…
Also, I wouldn’t do the warm-up sequence…they include really deep hip stretches and may put some strain on the knees that could really hurt if your body’s not warm. But, with that said, I really enjoyed (as much as you can enjoy) the core section. The legs and butt sections were challenging as well.
This would be a DVD that I wouldn’t use everyday — but I would pick and choose the core, legs and butt sections after I was already warm from yoga or a brisk walk.
The music’s upbeat and energetic and the filming is professional. The first sequence, the warm-up has lots of close-up shots that I didn’t particularly need to see…but as I already mentioned I’m skipping the warmup in the future…(definitely do your own warm-up if you’re skipping this one…)
definitely worth finding at your library or local used DVD store…and you don’t even need skates.
