Movie Reviews of Minna Optimizer - Balanced Blend
Movie Review: Challenging!
Summary: 4 Stars
The cardio/strength training portion of this DVD is very challenging. For those of you like me that enjoy working out but aren't in peak physical condition, you will find this moderately difficult. It is really good to grow with, however, if you can stick with it.
The yoga/stretching portion of the DVD is much more basic. You can definitely feel results, but it's not nearly as intense as the cardio section.
The great thing about Minna's workouts is that she pays attention to every part of the body. You're not just working one muscle group--you're bettering your whole body's tone, look, and feel. Minna is an enjoyable instructor who is encouraging without being annoying. Her backup participants are actually quite entertaining to watch as well.
Summary of Minna Optimizer - Balanced Blend
Through a combination of traditional strength training and progressive flexibility-enhancing choreography, Minna: Optimizer, Balanced Blend delivers a comprehensive fitness regimen with variety. This DVD format is divided into two workouts (approximately 45 minutes each) that concentrate on building and elongating lean muscle by using aerobic and anaerobic exercise. The first session, Fat Eliminator, centers around six four-minute circuits that join together cardiovascular and strength work. Plyometric jumps and kicks are spliced between squats, reverse lunges, and pushups to create a cross-training effect. Little instruction is provided on proper knee to ankle alignment on lunges and squats, so be sure to watch your form. A 15-minute bonus training set that works the upper and lower body with light hand weights closes this session. The second workout, Strength and Grace, offers a great counterbalance to the circuits performed in the first workout. Fundamental movements from Pilates, yoga, and modern dance are united here with classic plies, calf raises, and squats. Overall, the legs and upper body are challenged while breathing, balance, and muscle pliability are brought into focus. Optimizer is approachable for all levels, and the length of the workout can be adjusted. The music is good, with great tribal beats and choreography sure to get the heart rate going. --Olivia VoigtsFitness & Yoga DVD Video
