"OMFG." That's what I kept muttering to myself as I was working through the routine. "OMFGawwwwwwddddd...."
I'm not going to bore you with my personal exercise routine and how it's different from this so it's not what i'm used to and blah blah. No one cares about that. Because if you did, then you and I would have talked about that by now. But for real... this is different than what I am used to.
The routine isn't difficult per se, so all of you non-exercisers shouldn't stop reading at this point (go check it out!). But it activates areas that you don't normally use just walking back and forth throughout your day. The movements are small with virtually no jarring impacts yet there are no long-held poses like in boring yoga. It's like Pilates, with a twist. I mean, I've done Pilates before... and I never left a Pilates class in my life feeling like I really had a real workout. And certainly not yoga, fer chrissakes, not even Bikram ever impressed me the way this low-impact routine did. I mean, the movements are fluid and I don't care how stiff you say you are, you can do them. The holding movements and repetitive motions will give you something to think about, that's for sure. It's interesting and different and the hour flies by quickly.
