DanceCrazy Muscle Madness Massage Stick DVD review:
The price is for the DVD by itself. You will also need a massage stick and chair to complete the exercises on this dvd.
The chapter selection/dvd menu gives you 2 options. You can “play all” or click on individual chapter selections.
There are 12 chapter selections to choose from.
1. Introduction: 0:00-1:04 mins
The intro shows the 3 different rollers that the lady is using for this dvd. Light, medium and heavy. She mostly uses the medium.
2. Dynamic warm up: 1:04-6:00 mins
**The warm up is demonstrating exercises like neck rolls, shoulder shrugs, arm circles to warm the body up before using the massage roller stick. You do not need a chair or stick for the warm up.
3. Feet: 6:00-7:56
**For chapter selections 3-10, you will be barefoot and need a chair.
4. Lower leg: 7:56-10:15
5. Calves and Soleus: 10:15-12:55
6. IT band: 12:55-14:47
7. Inner thigh: 14:47-16:28
8. Quadriceps: 16:28-18:48
9. Hamstrings: 18:48-21:32
**Can be done standing or using the chair
10. Triceps: 21:32-23:06
**Demonstrated kneeling and using the chair to support the roller stick
11. Partner exercises: 23:06-25:04
**Only shows 2 partner exercises and is not even demonstrated with 2 people.
12. Outro/Ending: 25:04-25:24
Each selection focuses on the different muscles and body areas. She does a great job with the anatomy terms and going slowly step by step making it very easy to follow and understand.
I really enjoyed rolling my feet!
I enjoyed this dvd because it helped me learn the muscle names and different ways to use my roller stick.
However, I found several things that I feel need to be changed about this dvd.
First, the dvd Amazon description needs to be more descriptive to help potential buyers know what they are buying. There is no listing of times and equipment needed which is very important. Because this dvd is only 20 minutes of actual instruction and doesn’t even come with the roller; I feel like the price is way too high. I would only pay $9.99 or less for this instructional dvd.
Second, on the dvd front cover it says “warm/cooldown”. There is a 5 min warm up (selection 2) but no cool down on this dvd unless you are going to repeat selection 2 again as your cool down.
Third, the back of the dvd cover says the running time is 60 mins, which is definitely not true. At most, it is 25:24 mins which includes the intro, ending, and warm up which are not even part of the step by step instructions.
Fourth, I did not feel like the 2 exercises mentioned in selection 11-partner exercises-were even helpful. She did not have a partner to help demonstrate them, so I personally would have just eliminated that chapter selection or thought ahead and got a partner to demonstrate.
The marketing of this dvd definitely needs to be redone so the things mentioned above are accurate and not misleading.
Regardless, I still feel like this dvd is a good step by step instructional dvd that I will be using in the future with my roller massage stick.
I received this item complimentary from the Tomoson Blogger program for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.
