DVD Reviews of Bollywood Burn

DVD Review: Low impact and different
Summary: 3 Stars

This workout video is totally different than anything I have done before. It is great if you want to try something different or if you are getting bored with the same workout routines. I have only tried the first segment and didn't find it all that challenging. I am not exactly a workout buff, actually I am quite the opposite. This video is great for a beginner working out or perhaps like a said someone who is bored with just the same moves. I think the direction given is good and the moves are fun to do.

DVD Review: Liza Shtromberg
Summary: 5 Stars

I loved this video!

After doing another exercise video, I decided to create for myself a diverse exercise plan which included aerobics, palates, yoga, belly dance and Indian dance. I get easily bored with the same routine, so I thought by creating my own variety at home, I will have better results with continuing to exercise regularly.

For someone who has not exercised regularly for almost three years, and is 100 pounds overweight, I was pleased to see that I was able to get through the entire video without taking breaks.

I have done power yoga in the past on regular basis, so the yoga moves were a familiar and welcome addition.

I sweated a lot, and felt that the routine was fun, engaging and well paced.

I loved the narration as it was not screaming, but lighthearted and made me laugh a few times.

I am looking forward to doing this exercise video again.

DVD Review: Love the Burn!
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a great work out. The 15 minute increments make it easy to do as much as you have time for and work up a sweat! Highly recomend it, lots of fun and Himalayaa is so cute!

DVD Review: Great Idea, Not-So-Great Execution
Summary: 3 Stars

The first thing I notice is Hemalayaa's voice over. I wish I could say that it was likeable, but I find her style of narration rather annoying; something in her intonation and giggling rubs me the wrong way. It's not necessarily in sync with the video and doesn't cue very well; often it's not until she and the other dancers are doing the move that the narration identifies the change.

The workouts themselves are not necessarily well-paced. The workouts go from bouncy dancing to yoga, then back to bouncy dancing. This is also most assuredly NOT low-impact, so it's impossible to recommend for people with joint problems. (It doesn't purport itself to be low-impact, at least, though neither does any preview or packing information present just how non-low-impact it is.) That being said, the workouts also are rather a lot of fun, silly if not sexy, which goes a long way to redeem this particular video.

Overall, I enjoyed this video the few times I did it, but finally had to set it aside when all the hopping got to be too much for me. I can't speak for its Bollywood authenticity, but it can still be a fun addition to the library of someone with excellent knees.

DVD Review: Fun, is not!!
Summary: 1 Stars

I wanted to like this exercise, but sadly, I did not. The problem about it for me is the jumping, it was too much, and not because I have bad knees or anything, it was just not fun at all to be jumping around. I thought this was going to be an entertaining bollywood type of dance. Another thing, afterwards I did not feel any burn, I did sweat a bit, but not burning the next day. I need something more challenging, but overall it was not fun. PS: the voice over was annoying too.

Description of Bollywood Burn

Creator of the bestselling Bollywood Dance Workout turns up the heat!

Spice up your workout and boogie to the bhangra beat. Inspired by the sassy, sexy moves seen in hit Indian films, this isn't the same old boring exercise routine. It's playful, seductive, and leaves you feeling high on life. Think of it as yoga with a triple-espresso twist or a double-chai high.

Fitness star and yogini Hemalayaa leads you through three 15-minute programs, from low to high impact. The first gets you in the groove, the second ups the cardio to optimum fat-burning range, and the third has you shimmying and bopping like a Bollywood film beauty. As you dance, you'll lose weight; tone your core, hips, and thighs; and kiss stress good-bye. So liven up, let loose, and laugh like Hemalayaa does. It's that much fun!
