A couple of years ago, my husband and I gave each other the gift of wellness with the Rush Fit workout program. I believe my hubby tried it once and decided we didn't have the space in our video room to complete many of the moves. My daughter and I tried a couple of the videos and came to the same conclusion. So....the video program was shelved.
Fast forward to now. We have a gym in our garage and I am home from work to help my daughter rehabilitate from surgery to remove a brain tumor. Not only does she need to work on her vision to stop seeing double, but she needs to regain her balance and strength.
20 weeks of physical, occupational, speech, and vision therapies daily has gotten very boring. My goal was to have her start physical therapy on horseback a couple of days per week, then fill in the rest of the sessions with water aerobics, strength training, hiking, and yoga.
However, after speaking with her homebound teacher, it was decided she would return to school over a month sooner than planned. The equine facility didn't have any weekend openings, and I really needed a workout to help prepare my daughter to return to school in just two weeks.
As a yoga instructor, I do have some balance workout ideas. But being able to work out WITH my daughter instead of instructing her on HOW to work out is much more beneficial and saves us from unnecessary arguments. My hubby and I are P90X fans. However, I didn't feel that was the best balance training. Body Shred by Jillian Michaels was a fast paced, fun workout, but my daughter did not feel she was ready for that much jumping. I decided to pull out the Rush Fit program. BEST decision EVER!
The workouts are fast paced and fun. But most importantly, they really work on balance and core. I can't believe how much my daughter has improved and how beneficial the Rush Fit program would be for people with lower back pain or chronic headaches from bad posture. The program offers a good warm up to reduce the risk of injury and the cool down contains moves that I prescribed to my clients with chronic low back pain. The workouts focus on strengthening the postural muscles, that in a weakened state, cause many people to suffer from pain in the back, neck, and head.
