We’re several weeks into our initial release of “Assess and Correct,” and the initial feedback has been outstanding!
With that being said, I feel it’s important to constantly update you on the product. In this post, I’d like to give you some of my thoughts on how you can get optimal results from the product. Consider this a “Do’s” and “Do Not’s” list.
Do
– Before going through the assessment, have the DVD’s, the accompanying e-manual, and a blank sheet of paper ready to go. This will allow you to follow along with the specific test on the DVD, determine the corrective exercises you need in the e-manual, as well as the progression section you’ll need to correct your movement pattern.
– Do understand that the real value here is in the entire package – not just one small section.
The DVD’s demonsrate proper technique on the exercises.
The e-manual gives you another visual component, along with written descriptions and coaching cues. It also outlines the specific progressions you will follow, should you “fail” a specific test.
The SMR e-manual and static stretching guides help you refine the process even further, as well as giving you another tool in your arsenal.
Quite simply, the entire package provides an immense amount of value – you shouldn’t get too caught up in just one component.
Do Not
– Please do not watch every single corrective exercise straight through. One of the only complaints we’ve had is in regard to the music; to be very specific, a few (i.e. two) people complained the the music was redundant.
Let me explain a little bit further, as this is one of the limitations/aggravations of video products as a whole.
When it comes to music, you can’t just take your favorite song and throw it in a DVD. Instead, you need to find open-rights or non-copyrighted music to use in these sorts of DVD’s. Unfortunately, these aren’t always the coolest or hippest tunes available – you do your best to find the least annoying tracks that are out there.
Even in a perfect world, let’s say YOU COULD use your favorite song – I really like Metallica’s “Seek and Destroy.” Even though it’s totally bad ass, could you imagine hearing the same 20 second snippet of “Seek and Destory” every minute for 70+ minutes straight?
I didn’t think so.
I’ve watched the DVD at least a dozen or so times through, and trust me, no one is more sick of the music than I am. I HAD to watch it all the way through.
But that doesn’t mean you should. The entire package has much greater value if you simply watch the pertinent portions that relate to you and forget about the rest. There is, after all, a ton of information in the product and watching everything in one sitting would most likely be a little overwhelming.
Hopefully that gives you a better understanding of how to get the most out of Assess and Correct. If you haven’t picked up your copy, you can check it out at the link below:
