Movie Reviews of Karen Voight - Yoga & Sculpting
Movie Review: Yoga & Pilates - Two Workouts
Summary: 5 Stars
1. First Workout - YOGASCULPT
Karen Voight's two workouts will leave you refreshed and invigorated. Once I have completed the first challenging workout I feel stretched, strengthened, toned and very peaceful. If you are just starting out, be patient with yourself. Yoga will develop patience, character and strength. Think of each posture as a goal. By the third or fourth time, you may achieve what you see. This video is a combination of Pilates and Yoga. Ordering a sticky mat is essential so you don't injure your muscles by slipping on a carpeted surface. The choices for the Yogasculpt workout include:
Full Workout 45 minutes
Yoga Flow 25 minutes
Pilates Matwork 20 minutes
Karen's calming voice leads you through the poses in her organized way. The music is very relaxing and almost makes this the Nordstrom of Yoga videos. I recommend walking before attempting the stretching exercises. This helps to warm the muscles and allow for a deeper stretch. The flowing postures are healing and you move from a standing pose to downward dog and then to some cat stretches. Plank follows with some challenging legwork and there is a creative series for hips where your balance is tested. In the matwork boat pose makes its appearance as do many pilates exercises for the abs.
2. Second Workout - CORE ESSENTIALS (Same workout as Core Plus More 1999)
"I'll show you how to minimize wasted energy while maximizing concentration on the targeted muscles of your core essentials." ~ Karen Voight
In "Core Essentials," Karen Voight presents a workout to target the core muscle groups. She also focuses on the arms and legs by using weights to increase the intensity. The added resistance increases your efforts so on exercises for the abs, holding weights above the head while doing a crunches makes them super effective. As always Karen emphasizes proper form to optimize your results. The main sections of the workout include:
Aerobics - Warm up
Legs & Butt 10 minutes
Arms, Back & Torso 5 minutes
Abdominals 10 minutes
Cool down - Stretch
The workout begins with a brief aerobics section to warm up the muscles then moves right into leg exercises inspired by Pilates. She uses her green genies (weighted balls) to increase the resistance. The main workout is on a round blue platform and she is wearing a ruby outfit so the colors are interesting.
During the Arms, Back & Torso workokut she does quite a few sets of push-ups which I found challenging when combined with Plank. Next you use weights while you are on your back and then move into a cool down with unique side stretches and plenty of attention to stretching out the legs.
Overall, I'd say this is a challenging workout with unique exercises. Karen Voight's teaching style is very precise so the cueing is always excellent and you feel like you have completed a calorie-burning workout with an artistic appeal.
