5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE this book and DVD., April 12, 2008

I was a bit overwhelmed at first thinking I had to review and figure out every single exercise before starting so I just stuck the DVD in. Most exercises were easy to follow with the model and the ones that were a bit tricky I just looked up in the book.

As I'm recovering from a back injury I'm taking it slow and can only do 1 or 2 of the sessions at a time, but I can see doing all in the future for a nice workout. The moves are only repeated a few times so if one is particularly difficult you know it won't last forever!

Suzanne Martin's 15 Minute Better Back Workout for Back Strengthening is good for people who like short, easy to follow, and light workouts. It is NOT intense at all. I like doing this set of drills in the morning. I actually leave the DVD in my xbox to play.

The workouts don't require any equipment with a mix of standing and floor exercises. You may want to use a towel or mat.

Another nice feature of this set of drills is she has 4 different back drill workouts:

Developing the Back, Revitalizing the Back, Energizing the Back
Soothing the Back

If you like reading and learning about physiology/anatomy, the book explains a lot of that which can be very useful to know. If you just want drills to follow, pop in the DVD!

I have several books with exercises for the back, the this is my first back exercises book with a dvd. It's a great deal for both. The exercises are clear and easy to understand. There are also four levels, which is helpful. No glitzy production, but a true find.
