Movie Reviews of Yoga For Athletes
Movie Review: Customize routine to meet your needs
Summary: 5 Stars
I have the "Yoga Complete For Athletes" and it is almost the same as this one listed. Similar cover, same guy, and same set of routines.
I purchased this DVD because of the "customized" routines depending on the sport/activity of interest. I have tried some of the Hiking and Cycling routines. What I like about these routines is that it allows me to focus on a specific area depending on the sport/activity that I participate in. The routines range from 20, 30 or 60 minutes, if I remember correctly. After doing the routines, I often feel very relaxed - It's such a great feeling.
What I didn't expect and it amazed me is....
A little over a year ago, I woke up with my ENTIRE back in pain. I did the 1 hour - Hiking/Back yoga routine, and when I was done, the pain was 100% GONE! I couldn't believe it.
Last Sunday, I did a 10-mile bike ride, a NEW hobby of mine - cycling that I started 3 weeks ago. I woke up this morning (Wednesday) with the entire back of my neck, both shoulders, upper and lower back, both jaws and upper arms in pain. Somehow, I made it through the day... When I got home tonight, I did the 30 minute - Biking/Shoulders routine, and I feel 90% better in my shoulders/back/arms area, and if I were to also do the back routine, I would probably feel 100% better. The DVD doesn't have a routine for the neck, and I wish it did. I did my own stretches in the neck area for 15 minutes, and my neck feels 60% better.
I am sharing my story is that not only Yoga helps reduce stress, increase flexibility and strenghten muscles, because it stretches your muscles, it can help ease the pain and discomfort in the muscles. What I like about this DVD is the speed and the calming voice. Because the movements are slow, it allows the muscles to stretch slowly and gives it enough time to stretch before moving into a slightly different angle or different position. I feel this is the key to doing yoga properly as well as stretching the muscles.
I am not a doctor, and I am not recommending using yoga for self-healing. In some cases, a medical professional is required.
I am really glad that I got this DVD, and I highly recommend it.
