The layman's positioning, quick tempo and lack of proper cuing will drive you nuts.
For those of you who are real Yoga-files, skip it. This fabulous workout routine is so fast that even the busiest person can find a brief time in their day to get in a wonderful, effective 10-minute exercise session. Yoga Flex- here's where I'm gonna call Tony out just a bit. There is no excuse under the sun (or the stars) for not using Tony Horton’s 10-Minute Trainer workout. that tubing can be slippery- but all in all a good workout that will grow on you. This one moved quickly and it was occasionally difficult to get into position quick enough to keep up. Still not much cuing for form, but if you follow what Tony and his female model are doing, you'll be fine- their form is flawless. Upper Body- Again we're using handled tubing for resistance which make this a go anywhere workout. If you activate- you should be just fine. there's nothing going on here that is down right dangerous. I do worry about folks with spinal issues, but again. Each exercise is only done for 1 minute and Tony inspires us to push ourselves to the limit- 10 minutes well spent and I was motivated to do more- my interest was totally piqued.'Ĭore Cardio- for a Pilates Queen like myself it was refreshing to just do some good old fashioned ab blasting. Total Body 2 is a great workout using a handled tubing as resistance and mixing up upper and lower body sculpting with cardio. Only switch up to Trainer mode after you've been using the videos for at least a few weeks and feel confident that you know what you're doing.

If the exercises are too difficult at first, decrease the range of motion and/or do fewer reps. Do this routine 4x per week for the first 2 weeks, then up it to 5x per week for 2 weeks. Of course Horton recommends P90X, but he’s got plenty of other workouts up his sleeve.ĭo 10 reps per set.
