Movie Reviews of Yoga Weight-Loss Workout for Dummies
Movie Review: NOT for the weak-kneed!
Summary: 3 Stars
I just did this video for the first time this morning and I was surprised at how sore my knees were afterward. Now they are not the greatest to begin with, but not terrible either - I can run a few miles if I'm careful. But I took a yoga class at the local college this past semester, and I had no problems whatsoever with my knees. The instructor gave us time to get into each pose correctly, the whole while giving tips on how to do each pose correctly, and then gave us time to get into the next pose correctly.
THIS VIDEO, however, DOES NOT give one time to move from pose to pose correctly, nor adequate tips on how to get into the poses correctly. I'm sure that's why my knees are sore. I don't see other complaints of this, so if you have no problems with your knees to begin with you may not have one with this video. But if you do have creaky knees, or cannot run because of knee issues, I would not recommend this video.
Beyond the knee issue, the video provides a decent amount of stretching, light strengthening maneuvers, and a couple of balance poses - which is all you can really ask of a 35 minute more-or-less beginning video.
I would not count on this video as my main exercise for weight loss. It is a nice adjunct as it will help with flexibility and balance, but if my experience in achieving and maintaining a 50-lb weight loss is any indication, you would do well to consider more strength training and some cardio that involves moving yourself in a way that requires real exertion, and not just movement per se. Try running (not jogging), jumping rope, swimming (sprints, not leisurely), cycling, rowing, etc. in addition to strength training. Of course you will need to work up to those levels - always start slowly, but do keep pushing yourself. Also cut out all sugar and grains, eat lean protein, fresh organic fruits and vegetables and you will lose quickly and without hunger pangs. Sugar and grains fuel the appetite, protein and vegetables quell it. And I do love yoga for the gains one can make in core strength, flexibility, and balance, so it's definitely worth taking a class or finding an excellent video. Good luck!
