Power 4 Pink Workout (Cardio, Strength, Pilates, and Balance)



4 short workouts
(On the cover it is noted that "at least $3 per DVD [is] given to charity" and that "100% of the net profits goes to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation".)

"Power 4 Pink Workout" contains four short programs: a cardio & balance workout, a core & floor workout, and two flexibility workouts. Patricia Friberg instructs. She also demonstrates along with three other ladies.

The equipment required includes a six feet thera-band, (the thin and long one), and a fitness ball, (an air filled light-weight ball). I actually used rubber tubing instead of the thera-band. In addition, you may need a mat.

Here is the breakdown of the four programs or workouts. Most exercises are listed.

1. Cardio Interval Balance Challenge (19:35) 4 stars: This is easy to moderately challenging. For me, this was generally easy. I did have a little issue with balance. The band is used in this workout.

Warm up is composed of light aerobic movements...

Whole body workout
Patricia is an excellent teacher and her energy and enthusiasm are clearly conveyed in this DVD. I take her classes at Yogaworks and she never fails to challenge and push us while making the hour long class fly by. This DVD allows me to get the same feeling without having to leave my house.

This workout caters to varying fitness levels; those without much fitness experience as well as including modifications to increase the difficulty for a much harder workout. I definitely sweat During the cardio balance challenge and my core/abs were sore from doing the toning floor section.

Note: You'll need a long theraband and a small fitness ball, although the workout can be done without there items.

awesome workout
I loved the intensity, easy to follow direction and the connection Patricia was able to illicit. It was great having this workout right here in my own home. I highly recommend this routine, because I could feel the results. Thanks for making this available. Barbara
