Certified instructor description: A well-sequenced mix of traditional and innovative lower-body exercises. It targets your legs and buttocks with an endless range of movements, angles, techniques and positions. Cathe also maximizes the variety, and results, with carefully chosen equipment (e.g. the ball for balance and core strength, gliding discs for form and control). You'll begin with standing legwork — lunges, low pulses, deadlifts and even a yoga-style “warrior” on the discs. This section also has a very short pliés-against-the-wall sequence. Then it's down on the floor for a fast-changing series of high-rep matwork (e.g. leg lifts, weighted presses and “clams”). DVD has a bonus 13-minute rear delts workout. Requires 2 to 15 lb. dumbbells, a stability ball, a loop band and gliding discs. ©2012.
