Movie Reviews of Fat-Blasting Yoga
Movie Review: fat-blasting indeed
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm rather suprised at the less-than-stellar reviews for this dvd, as it's one of my favorites. I'm going to go ahead and jump straight into listing the pros and cons:
CONs:
-as a previous reviewer states, the back of the DVD states that there are three segments, but then on the tv menu, there are 10 chapters. The way the dvd is formatted, there's really two main segments: cardio-conditioning and strength training-esque segment. I guess the third segment would be working out the core muscles (the abs) with the stability ball, but it's kind of lumped in with the strength segment.
-strength training segment seems a bit useless and redundant. I feel like I'm better off using weights to strengthen my muscles, so I always skip this section.
-if you're looking for a purely yoga dvd, you'll be disappointed, because this isn't pure yoga, but a yoga-inspired workout. She takes certain poses from yoga and turns them into intervals of quasi-cardio workouts. It obviously won't have the same effects of kickboxing, but doing these poses and moves DOES generate heat and causes you to sweat a bit.
PROs:
-like I said above, you do sweat, and that's always a plus in my book.
-improves your flexibility. I always feel so nice and stretched out when I've done this workout.
-it's different and adds a little variety to the workout routine. I can't do intensive workouts every day, but I do like to stay active and do at least SOMETHING every day...so this is a nice break from my regular kickboxing/step/running days. It's not too intense, but it definitely does something for me.
-Happily, Denise is a bit more mellowed out in this workout. Usually she's annoyingly perky in her workouts, but here she's relatively calm...I'm guessing b/c it's yoga and perkiness just doesn't go with the mood...
-I usually never bother to do the end-of-the-workout stretching in most tapes/dvds I own, but I just love the one in here. It's so relaxing and very nice on the muscles, especially the back.
So all in all, this is a pretty good dvd if you're looking for something different to try. In all honesty, you WON'T be going down to a size 0 even if you do this every day. You'll need to mix this up with more intense workouts to see any real weightloss, if that's what you're aiming for. But this makes a really nice supplement to a regular workout routine, or a workout in itself on light days, where you're just not up for a lot of exertion.
