Certified instructor description:
Six workouts based on the concept of matching the exercises to your "body type." First, you determine your shape — "hourglass," "ruler" or "spoon." Then, you'll do the two programs created for that specific shape. All six workouts feature aero/tone intervals with a mix of high and low-impact cardio. But the exercises within each body type pair are a little different. Hourglass: lots of standing leg lifts and low-rep upper-body exercises. Ruler: a greater emphasis on core and flexibility routines. Spoon: Upper-body-focused moves like push-ups and overhead presses. Straight-forward cuing with easy-to-follow explanations. Requires 2 to 5 lb. dumbbells. ©2013.
