Alethea’s “Pure Splits” DVD
I have to say that the title is misleading–it should be "Pure Intensity", lol! I've never done a splits routine this tough OR this enjoyable! It builds strength in the legs, hips, glutes–the entire lower body. I would recommend stopping the video after the leg kicks and foam rollering the lower body because I think you'll get more out of it–I certainly did! I realized that if you finish the session with some upper body and ab exercises, you'd have a complete workout! I was suprised how much more range of motion I had after the ballistic moves and I got way lower in the gravity straddles than I ever have before! I was surpised how stiff my ankles were–I was going to ask her for tips about ankle flexibility at the comp, but no need! There are ankle stretches and man, are my ever inflexible! Still, I know what to do now to improve.
Same quibble as with the last one–more verbal cues at certain points, but overall I highly recommend it! Kudos to Keith for outstanding production values and the freestyle at the end is (I think) some of the best work Alethea's ever done!
I did notice yesterday that as I was prepping my classroom and breaking into dance (like you do) I had WAY more range of motion and stamina and fluidity! I will def. be using this on a regular basis!!!
