ICE: To The Mat Legs & Glutes 

Cathe Friedrich, 2016

This is a 49 min lower body mat workout. Cathe works out with her crew in her regular studio. You will need dumbbells, an exercise ball, a band, and a loop, for this routine.

After a warm up, exercises include: hamstring ball pull-ins, frog pull ins, side lying no the ball leg series, supine ball toss & catch, inner thigh ball squeeze, quad & inner thigh work on the ball, plank step ins with the loop, hydrants using the loop, seated calf press with the band, side plank hip lifts & leg raises, inner thigh raises, supine elevated heel presses, plank to crouch, side lying L outer thigh series, clam, down dog to plank with a leg raise, flutter kicks, low back work, and a cool down & stretch.

I rate this a high intermediate routine. Tons of variety and lots of fun, unique exercise had me feeling the burn. This is a good one to break up and add on to other workouts or do in its entirety if you are a mat workout type of exerciser. I like to break it up & add to standing lower body workouts personally.  I did not receive this DVD to review.
