Donna is the best!
This is a very effective workout video by my favorite instructor. I have all of her videos (except Step & Awesome Abs, because I don't have a step.) There are 4 segments, each around 15 minutes in length. They all have their own warm-up, stretch & cool-down. Her video Donna-Mite came out at the same time as this, & would be a good choice to do before this one.The 1st part is arms. This segment is all standing, although you go into a lunge position for a few moves.Part 2 is the thigh workout (the best segment, in my opinion.) It's divided into standing squat & lunge moves, then moves on to floorwork, which consists of inner & outer-thigh raises.Next comes probably the most challenging part of the video, butt & hamstrings. Just like the thigh segment, it starts off with standing moves. You'll need balance for these, so a chair would be helpful if needed. Then, just like the thigh segment, it moves on to floorwork, but instead of laying on your side, you're on your hands & knees toning your butt & hamstrings. It can get tiring, because I have long legs, so it's hard to keep it going, but of course it's okay to rest.Finally, abs & waist. It's a great segment, & feels good to lie down after all that standing & balancing in the previous 2 segments. She mixes traditional moves with some new variations making for a complete mid-section workout.Donna is a master at cuing, but since this is a slower-paced toning video her skills at that aren't quite as noticeable. 4-Day Rotation is a must have to tone your body, & don't forget to check-out her funky aerobics videos too!
