The FIRM Sculpt-Ilates - Review

The FIRM Sculpt-ilates is a 50-minute workout and it is lead by Robyn Johnson.  The workout uses a thera-band and it  is divided into four section. 

The workout starts with a slow moving warm up.  Robyn then moves into a standing Pilates segment without the band. In the standing segment, in addition to sculpting, there is balance work. Some of the  standing Pilates move include saw, spine twist, and mermaid.

12 minutes into the workout, Robyn moves into the band sculpt segment.This segment starts with a series of alternating plie work.  Standing exercises that use the band include heel press shoulder press, dip curl tap backs, shave the head, upright row and double arm rows.  This segment also included walkout push ups.

The next segment is mat work. This segment uses the band and a mat.  Seated double arm rows, roll backs with arm press outs, seated shoulder press, and a side plank series are a few of the exercises in the mat segment.  This segment starts at about the 20 minute mark.

Starting at about the 32 minute mark is the lower body mat work.  This segment also uses the band and a mat.  Single leg circles, frog, pullovers, back& shoulder squeezes, swimmers, and bridge are some of the exercises in the segment.

The last segment is core work and cool down and it starts at the 42 minute mark. This segment include the Pilates series of five which are single leg stretch, double leg stretch, single straight leg stretch, double straight leg lower/lift and criss cross.  Right after the classic five, Robyn moves into the cool down.

There is a beginner modifier. The set and music are both blah.  The workout is NOT chaptered.
I quite like this workout. I have had this workout for awhile and was surprised to see I never reviewed it.
