Movie Reviews of Yoga For Athletes
Movie Review: The complete yoga video!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was recommended to me by my marathon training coach. I have been using it for the past year and I recommend it to all my friends. i swear by it.Movie Review: Accept it for what it is
Summary: 4 Stars
I have been using this DVD for two years and have not found it boring. I will agree with some of the posts here that to some it may seem slowpaced, but I consider this to be a plus. The several minutes spent on each pose, including getting into the pose, makes it actually very physically challenging and the more I have progressed the more I have come to appreciate the time spent loosening the neck and inhaling before looking up. If you simply want to bend over as far as you can and then move to the next pose with a beach in the background then this is not the DVD for you. Yes, the poses are taped individually and there is a black screen between them but I welcome this as I have done so many of the dozens and dosens of combinations by now that I like to know what is next since I cannot recall the variations in each one, drink some water, skip a track sometimes, etc. As a dad who works at home, this DVD routine seems ideal as it can be done on mute once you get used to it and it does not require chanting or any visualizing. I do not personally believe the kayaking selections are better for kayakers than the rock climbing ones are, but to me, that is not the point, and after a while, it is great to simply have so many combinations of area (legs, hips, abs) and times (20-60 minutes). When I first started with it, I felt I did okay, but now with 2 years practice, I realize how much better I have become and have noticed a remarkable toning up of my legs (but my upper body has not progressed as much; my waist is slimmer but not rock hard). To me this DVD is no non-sense and engaging and is more about feeling your muscles burn than the trappings of yoga often marketed in the media. My wife attends yoga classes and claims some of the names of the poses differ from her class but that my results far surpass even what her instructor is able to achieve in a classroom situation.Movie Review: Good Yoga Work-Out
Summary: 4 Stars
The title enticed me into buying this DVD. I must have been on an ego trip to think that I was an "athlete."I hadn't taken yoga class in many, many years so I don't have the flexibility or the balance to do some of the yoga positions so I cheat. I would not recommend this to anyone who is not somewhat fit or active.
The DVD's voice over instructions are very easy to follow, but she does get her lefts and rights mixed up. This can be confusing and annoying, but the mix-up is obvious.
Overall, this DVD is cheaper and as good as paying for actual yoga lessons.
Movie Review: For the beginner, advanced look elsewhere
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a good dvd for beginners. There are some challenging moves and if you are like me and didnt know a thing about yoga before this then the instructor is helpful. Her voice is soothing and you can tell she has a lot of experience as she guides you through the steps.
For savvy vets of yoga, there is no need for this dvd. A lot of the moves and exercises are repeated in each section (running, hiking, basketball, etc).
A good buy.
Movie Review: Great for multi sport athletes
Summary: 4 Stars
I was overwhelmed in a good way by the number of different routines on this DVD! I am a runner, so I tried several of the running yoga routines, but there are routines for cycling, hiking, and many other sports I enjoy.
Runners can do the yoga poses and routines on this DVD to help stretch any tight, stiff muscles on crosstraining days. I would recommend this DVD for runners.
