Item #7827	$24.95	In-stock: Yes

A total-body program that uses a foam roller for every conceivable stretch type -- seated, lying, standing. First, you’ll reduce muscle tension with targeted, myofacial release exercises used by elite athletes (deep-muscle massages — from your neck to your toes). Then you’ll build flexibility and core strength with Pilates-style roller routines. Lawrence Biscontini’s one-on-one teaching is comprehensive and easy to understand. Using both technical and layman’s terms, he carefully cues each move, identifies the muscles you’re working and summarizes the benefits. Requires a 6” x 36” foam roller. ©2006.

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.
