Victoria Sarquisse TangoFlex The Best Back Strengthening & Stretching Exercises

Image
The Best Back Strengthening & Stretching Exercises by Victoria Sarquisse's TangoFlex Method. This DVD includes workouts that are designed to strengthen and stretch  your back.  There are four main routines and one bonus routine.  All the workouts feature Victoria.  She is the only cast member.  The set is airy.  The music is faint and used as just background.   Victoria  takes you through each routine offering tips and suggestions. The workouts move slow. You are often holding a particular position or stretch for an extended length of time or you are doing a high amount of reps for a particular exercise. The DVD menu is a bit funky or at least when you go to choose a particular workout, it is. Several times I chose a workout I was not intending to choose. You can select Play All or you can select Choose Workout. Routine 1 - 22 minutes Routine 2 - 27 minutes Routine 3 - 17 minutes Routine 4 - 19 minutes Bonus Routine - 12 minutes A mat is required in all the segments. Victoria
