Boston Body Barre with Zayna Gold Workout Details and Review

Zayna leads this 56 minute fully chaptered workout in a nice ballet studio w/ 4 backgrounders. Optional equipment includes a playground ball, a barre or chair, and a band.

Matt: (20 min) Exercises include c curve, bridge variations, & crab tricep dips. Zayna makes good use of the ball to add variety & intensity. Also included is a 6  min stretch.

Barre: (24 min) Exercises include pelvic tuck, pliet varieties, chair pose w/ ball thigh squeezes, a standing donkey kick series, hip shifts & hip circles. I like the unique feel to this workout and the pace is right on.

There is also a 4 min cardio and a 4 min upper body segment included. Exercises include: step touch, toe tap, knee pulls, cross knee pulls with a hop, upper back band pulls and shoulder pinches.

Zayna is very mellow & down to earth and the variety of music is nice (hip hop to mellow yoga type music). Great for barre fans and some new & unique variations added in to make this a nice addition to your workout library. I received this dvd to review.

Health and fitness brought to you by Gwen Lawrence and GaiamTV.com

I’m so excited to introduce myself and help you reach your fitness goals!  My name is Gwen Lawrence, and I’m a celebrity yoga coach. I’ve been in the industry for the almost 20 years, and I work with professional athletes in the New York area, including my Super Bowl Champions, the New York Giants!  You can tweet me your questions and comments at @GaiamTV or Facebook me http://www.facebook.com/GaiamTV.

I am a giant fan of GaiamTV.com, the fabulous go-to site for every fitness need and trend.  I’m a daily user of GaiamTV.com myself, being a busy mother of three athletic teenage boys, running my own business, and maintaining a successful marriage of 21 years. I don’t always get the chance to do classes with my favorite teachers in their studios – but with GaiamTV.com, I do every day online! I get to try teachers I normally wouldn’t have access to – and now you can, too.  The best thing is that you can sign up so easily for a ten day FREE trial at http://www.GaiamTV.com.

So let’s talk summer. Spring has sprung, so it’s time to get serious about bathing suit bodies and skin-baring clothes.  The first thing to peek out from your shorts is a great pair of legs.  Nothing is better for busting cellulite, creating sexy tone, and losing the thigh jiggle than lunges, lunges, lunges – and oh yes, more lunges.  Side lunges to front lunges, and mixing in back lunges.  Remember to:

• Breathe consistently
• When you land, track your knee in the same direction as your foot
• Try to maintain a 90-degree angle with the front leg
• Do 20 reps on each leg in each direction
• Try a hop to add power when switching sides

If you’re feeling strong and motivated by Beyonce’s post-baby body and her muscular thighs, do another round of 20 in each direction.  The great thing about lunges is you’ll get great benefits even if you do them without weights.  So, NO EXCUSES – lunge away while watching TV, lunge away while chatting on the phone with your friend.  I guarantee you will see results.  If you need extra motivation or more ideas for toned summer legs, try these GaiamTV.com videos:
