Kari Anderson's "Reach" is one of the most difficult workouts I've ever tried. Not only does she select exercises for precise sculpting, she pushes you to your limits of endurance. If you are intermediate then many of the exercises will leave you a little shaky and out of breath. The workout is divided into three main segments:
Standing Work - 30 minutes
Floorwork - 20 minutes
Relaxing Stretch & Balance - 10 minutes
In this dancer-style workout you may notice exercises from Ballet, Pilates and Yoga. They all have creative twists and low-impact aerobics moves are used between sets. To be honest you need an incredible amount of strength in the legs to do most of the exercises. You may recognize Cat/Cow, Bow, Scissors, Bridge, Plank, Downward Facing Dog, Roll Ups, Push Ups and the Teaser.
As far as the set goes, it is brightly lit with a backdrop of windows. It looks like the sun is rising and everyone is wearing brown and tan outfits. If you are intermediate to advanced and have a basic knowledge of Pilates, Yoga and Ballet then I can highly recommend this full-body sculpting routine.
