Comments

Love the spine corrector! This class was challenging and fun!
I really liked this workout because I, too, believe the spine corrector is a great tool that is underutilized in studios. Unfortunately, about halfway through, the video stopped and flipped back to the beginning so I'm wondering if their is a problem with the feed. It was during the part of lateral flexion/extension on the side of the spine corrector. I hope this gets fixed so I can watch the rest. I loved it. Thanks!
