Movie Reviews of Fat-Blasting Yoga
Movie Review: God's gift to the fitness world
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely love Denise Austin: her relentless optimism, easy lead-by-example style, and her great smile and perfectly fit body performing constantly proper forms. 'And now let me see your wonderful smiling faces . . .' Thank you, Denise--you're the best! I think this particular Yoga workout is near-perfect. I only skip the 3rd segment, since I don't like to work with the ball. But the first 30 minute segment is a killer workout, and the 2nd is very challenging in its wake. Once you can really follow the flow, you will sweat like you wouldn't believe and feel super good. You have to eat right, too (of course), but her personality plus the great workouts make a very real difference, and I just never get tired of it. Of course she's done a wide variety of other DVDs, some of which I also enjoy, but this is a favorite I use at least two days a week (usually on the weekend). I should add that all of Denise's co-participants on this project are skilled and attractive people, but there is one totally stunning brunette wearing a gray top and powder blue pants. Wow, what a charmer. I dedicate all my yoga workouts to her!Movie Review: Great workout that's easy to stick with!
Summary: 5 Stars
I used to do this DVD with my friends all the time. When I started, I never did any sort of exercise beyond walking to class. Just wasn't my thing. Once I began this workout, I had fun doing it with my friends and was able to stick with it until my friend who owned the DVD moved away. Denise Austin doesn't use true yoga here, but I don't mind since I'd rather feel like I'm accomplishing something. It's somewhat exhausting in the moment, but still totally do-able for a 20-something beginner like me. You'll probably be tired and sore the next day, but in a good way! I could tell my muscle tone was improving and my flexibility went through the roof! I went from not being able to touch my ankles to being able to put my palms completely on the floor. I also like that it is low-impact, since other cardio activites like running or traditional aerobics usually cause me pain because of my high arches. I can't wait to be able to do this workout regularly again!Movie Review: Great workout for legs and "the core"
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using Denise Austin workouts for 6 months now. I have no problem with her voice - in fact she really does make me feel like she's right there helping me out.
I love this workout! I've been doing it for a month now with real results especially on my buns & thighs. I'm not overweight but need toning there. Some of her other workouts seem to really target the abs and arms.
I am not a "yoga" type of person. I like to keep moving and enjoy aerobics and dance moves. This workout included yoga moves but keeps moving. I don't think she anything more than a few times and it's on to something else. YES... the first time I looked like a fool, but once you do it several times it's great. The only moves that are repeated many times are the "sun salutations" and, if done right, they help stetch and tone.
I recommend this one for someone who wants to tone, would like a little yoga, but likes to keep moving!
Movie Review: Excellent workout
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the first yoga and/or Denise Austin video I ever purchased, and I think it's fantastic. Some of the moves are definitely challenging to master and take coordination, but they get easier to do with practice. After the first couple of days, I felt stronger and more energized. I took a yoga class after working out with this video for a while, and the instructor swore that I had taken yoga classes before. My fiancee (who is one of the most uncoordinated/balanced people I know) even uses this workout and likes it. The only equipment it requires is a stability ball. I have the VHS version, and it is conveniently broken into 3 segments that you can do separately or all together. This is NOT an aerobic workout, as you are not constantly moving and your heart rate does not become accelerated (the definition of an aerobic workout). If you want to get stronger and more flexible, I would certainly recommend this video.Movie Review: A Yoga Workout, not just Yoga
Summary: 5 Stars
The thing you have to remember and know about Denise Austin is that she is a fitness expert. She is not a certified Yogi. She uses different exercise techniques to appeal to the millions of Americans who purchase fitness videos. So she makes a wide variety of workouts to appeal to everyone's tastes and keeps up with changing fitness trends. If you want a Yoga workout or a meditative experience, get either Baron Baptiste, Rodney Yee or take a class at your local gym/studio. But if you want a convenient, effective Yoga-influenced workout, get this video. You will achieve results. This is a positive review that I hope reaches those people who are expecting a Yoga experience when they read the words "fat-blasting." HELLO! With that kind of title, one should know that this will be more of a athletically oriented fitness regime as opposed to a slow-paced, stretch and strength Yoga practice.
