Victoria Sarquisse Tangoflex Method - Thoughts
Tangoflex Method is a workout method designed to increase flexibility. The Tangoflex system consist of four workouts across two DVDs and has been created by Victoria Sarquisse.
DVD one contains the following:
Introduction
50 Minute Full Body Workout
Play All
The workout starts lying down and finishes standing up. You are taken through a series of exercises. Victoria works the body in a variety of positions and levels. Multiple levels are demonstrated. Victoria will show the advance version and at the same time and picture in picture (PIP) box will pop up that will show how the move can be modified.
I like this feature.
By the end of the workout, I did feel as if I stretch the whole body.
The pace of the workout is slow. The music is methodical and a bit melancholy. Parts of it made me want to go to sleep. I like the full body workout but did feel it was about 10 minutes to long.
DVD Two contains:
Introduction
5 Minute Lower Back Stretch
10 Minute Balance Routine
15 Minute Core Strength Workout Routine
Play All
The introduction is the same for both DVD One and DVD Two. The introduction is around 4 to 5 minutes. The lower back workout comes with its own brief introduction and it uses a chair to stretch the back. There was a lot of tilting the pelvis back and forth I thought this was a bit hard to see. That could be because the moves were subtle.
10 Minute Balance Routine also comes with a brief introduction. In this workout, Victoria takes you through a series of balance moves and moves also design to improve posture. Victoria does not use any balancing aids but she suggest for you to grab a chair if you need something to hold on too. I enjoyed this mini routine.
The 15 Minute Core Strength Workout Routine starts with an introduction and then Victoria takes you through a series "ochos". The ochos are performed from a variety of positions - bridge, prone and supine. The best way I can describe ochos are they are a series of rotations done in 8 count cycles or reps. Victoria includes back extension stretches, quadriceps stretches, hamstrings, and inner thigh stretches.
While I like the workout well enough, I really did not think it much of a core workout.
Full Body Workout - 3 & 3/4 stars
5 Minute Lower Back Stretch - 3 & 1/4 stars
10 Minute Balance Routine - 4 stars
15 Minute Core Stretch Workout Routine - 3 & 1/2 stars
