Opinion:
I've been doing this workout since 2013, mostly after/before running, no additional weights.
Later I began to put weights of 1kg at the wrists and 2kg per ankle - then it is no longer so easy.
Skalpel without extra weigths I treat more as a complementary training after running or warm up before running.
During pregnancy, I was able to do this workout until a day of labor without a section on the abdomen and back (I replaced this for another workout for hands or legs). During pregnancy, especially in the 3rd trimester this workout was no longer so easy for me. I know that for someone who is just starting the adventure with workouts Sklapel by Ewa Chodakowska can be a challenge.
Exercises are not complicated and you need just a mat. Very easy structure of workout,divided into sections: general / balance, hands, legs, back, butt and abs.
Effect "in simple terms":
If you are beginner or intermediate this total body workout will tone your entire body (not made muscle mass!). Keeping good timing you are able to burn calories and get your legs, arms, back, buttocks and abdomen slimmer. The effect is visible fairly quickly. If you want to tone your body start with this workout, and with time - add cardio. To have the effects more fast add extra weights.
For whom:
For Beginners - Start with this workout, don't be in hurry. First, take a look at the video, try to do few repetitions of each exercise and verify what is difficult for you. After 3 weeks of doing this workout 4 times per week you will see the difference.
Intermediate - You can also perform this workout if you think that it's too easy add extra weights.
For advanced - just add extra weights and workout stops to be so easy - seriously ;-) If not you can do it as a warming up before your normal routine.
