My husband bought this for me for Christmas.When I finally received it (had to deal with several back-orders from the shipper...not an amazon company), I was really disappointed.I own MANY of the Spinervals DVDs and have always found them very enjoyable and an excellent workout.This particular workout was intense, but was not modifiable for anyone who might have low back or knee problems.It took my low back several days to get over the initial workout...and I am not a wimp!!I usually do the Juan Carlos Santana therapy ball core workouts...so I'm pretty strong.However, the squat thrusts and some of the jumping jacks really got to my low back.I ended up swapping this DVD for another Spinervals choice.If you are a person that is not injured and can do plyometrics and jumping jack type activities, this IS a very good workout.However, if you are in the "over-40" triathlon sprint crowd that has to watch out to not stir up prior injuries...then you might find this workout a little too jarring.Click Here to see more reviews about: Spinervals StrEndurance 1.0 DVD - 12 Week Strength Development
Product Description:
Improve your full body muscular strength and endurance for maximum performance with Strendurance!Serious endurance athletes know that in order to get better in their chosen sport, whether it be cycling, swimming, running or triathlon, they need to do large volumes of sport specific training. Often times, an effective muscular strength and endurance development program is absent due to a lack of time and availability.The StrEndurance Training Program was developed to address this problem by offering serious endurance athletes an effective alternative to traditional 'gym-style' training programs. The 12-week program contained in this DVD offers six, 20-30 minute workouts designed to be completed in a progression, allowing for a steady rate of overload and adaptation for maximum gains in muscle strength and endurance. The goal of the endurance athlete is not to 'bulk up' with unwanted mass, but rather to boost one's muscular capabilities and the StrEndurance program accomplishes this goal!This workout DVD contains SIX workouts or 'phases' to be done over a 12-week period in addition to a maintenance routine for when the 'build' phase is completed. Workouts are short (20-30 minutes), high intensity and include basic exercises like push ups, crunches, squats, etc.You'll want to have the following workout accessories available in order to do these workouts: Floor mat, Dumbbells (weights depend on your current strength levels), and Stability ball.
