Synopsis by Sarah Ing

Originally marketed as Balanced Zones, this video was re-released as Target Zones. According to the manufacturer, the lesson specializes in Upper, Mid-, and Lower Body, which pretty much covers the entire package. Instructor Jennifer Kries is a classically trained dancer who leads the viewer through a varied routine. In three segments (the package claims four), Kries hits very specific muscles with movements taken from yoga, ballet, and Pilates. The centering technique Kries espouses is meant to lengthen and stretch the body. One of the lessons uses an exercise bar. Overall, this workout differs from standard routines in that it challenges the viewer with the combination Method. But, athletes bored with the same old thing will appreciate Kries' integrated teaching style.
