I agree! I think he must be trying to come up with his own "special exercises" to dazzle the parents into thinking he's cutting edge, so they then fork over more money. "If it's round, put it on the ground!" WTF?
And does anyone even bother using those lame dynadiscs anymore?
At least he could have the poor girl "stick" the landing. I am somewhat curious to ask the trainer exactly why he considers this exercise to be effective.
