Gym log. I wasn't gonna blog on the new Body Balance release but then, I guess my review won't be complete without this.
I was a little disappointed that FBI aka Ms. MIA wasn't doing the class, instead she was replaced by another instructor whom I've not heard before. There were only 5 of us in the class...the smallest class I've ever attended in FBI's slot. Kelly said she's gonna scold FBI next week :)
Body Balance 37 starts off with tai chi that has plenty of hand blocks and swings. Sun salutation follows next with excessive lunges stretching. I was grimacing a little cos my legs are still sore from previous BPump lunges. Standing strength is probably the only track in this entire new release which I found challenging. This track has a bit of attitude to go along with the challenge. DHT's Listen To Your Heart balance track focuses a lot on Tree Pose. There was a moment where we had to do tree pose with toes up.......are you kidding me?
It was then followed by hip stretching in this John Mayer's track. We then work the abdominals which honestly, I thought I was working the hip more than my abs. I guess I wasn't doing it right. Mid-back track was a welcome change but again, it was real simple. This was followed by stand split pose which again probably stressed a bit more on the standing strength and one's flexibility.
Overall, I'm disappointed with Body Balance 37. I had expected more especially since the last 2 releases were challenging.
