The foam rolling sequences have you rolling your calves but also your quads. You roll your quads straight on and at a 45 degree angle. That is the killer move, I almost cried the first time I attempted this. But each time you roll your muscles release and this seems to help the feet. Each reboot adds another area to roll, back of thigh, shoulder, etc. The reboot has other stretches included, it’s not just rolling. My husband is a pilot, I have notice if he has had a long trip/day, he will do just the reboot to release his back.
Your right Eminenz2, the instructor is facing you, so at times it gets confusing because he is calling out queues for the right side but it’s your left, the mirror image thing. Boy do I wish all instructors would use Cathe’s queuing; it makes it so much easier to follow. There is a separate disc that shows each move separately from different angles, but you have to take out the disk your using put in the instructional disk, which is not chaptered, thus making it frustrating to learn the more difficult moves.
I don’t think this is an exercise series that will get you in shape like STS, Insanity, P90X etc. If that’s what you are looking for, this is not it. I use it as a warm up before a hard work out, or as a stretch on my off days. I have been interested in Tai Chi and thought this would be a good introduction to it, which it is; however, there is a big mental portion to Tai Chi that I was not expecting. You really need to concentrate; it’s kind of like yoga in that respect. Think of this as a program that will improve your balance and flexibility, not one that will make you buff.
