DVD Reviews of Fat-Blasting Yoga
DVD Review: Denise Austin - Fat Blasting YOGA video
Summary: 1 Stars
This is an excellent exercise video. It combines cardio with YOGA moves for a total body workout. Very good!!!DVD Review: I have to disagree with the negative reviews of this workout!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this DVD workout now for a few years, and I have to say I really love it! I know some find Denise's chirpy style annoying, but I don't think she's like that at all in this DVD.. and I must say I've never heard her say 'Yea yoga' - and I've done this DVD hundreds of times! perhaps its in the intro??
I find this a fantastic all over workout that is surprisingly effective in toning up given I'm generally a cardio workout lover.. I always feel so incredibly energised by this workout. I actually feel healthier and more alive at the end of it! seriously!
This is NOT however a spiritual type yoga DVD - it's a little faster paced than that and doesn't have that kind of yoga music that those type of DVDs do.. but I don't mind that, I see this as somewhere between a workout and yoga - and I really like that..
It's also fab for doing during that time of the month, rather than a full on cardio workout - as it's nurturing as well as energising and strenuous.
The only caution I would give is about the move which involves putting one foot up above the other knee and then sitting back. I pulled my back on this move and I'd never had a back problem before, so I'd warn people to be very very careful on that move - and also the big toe stretch which also seems to pull on that same lower back muscle that I pulled. Maybe that's specific to me - but just be careful. I just do the chair pose while she's doing these ones. It's only a minute or so, so it doesn't affect the overall workout at all.
You will need a yoga/pilates ball though for the third section, and ideally also a yoga mat. Though I did it on the carpet for quite a while before I got a mat and it was fine..
I feel this workout has really stood the test of time for me. I keep coming back to it, and really enjoy the workout.
I highly recommend it..
DVD Review: good work out
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this disc on sale, and it was my first of Denise Austin. I like Denise's style, and had never done yoga before using this disc. I like the workouts, I feel like I taking it kind of easy, but still getting a good work out if i do the first segment alone. On a really good day I go through all the segments, however there are a couple moves in the strength section that I will never be able to do and there are some movements in the ball section that i dont have room for in my living room. I had no problems catching on to the workout; since i got the disc i've taken several yoga classes at my gym and still use this workout at home. DVD Review: Love It
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this workout. You need a little yoga background but it's a great workout that incorporates yoga with cardio. Denise is so motivating and I feel like I got my Yoga in and my workout in for the day.DVD Review: Not Enough Direction
Summary: 2 Stars
Denise Austin is a fantastic aerobic instructor but her yoga workouts are not something I recommend. This workout is a yogaerobics workout - that's fine if that's what you're looking for. I'm pretty advanced at yoga but her lack of guidance and jarring movements can cause serious injury to a non beginner. Her voice is distracting because of the constant upbeat chatter and the music is just as distracting. No focus on mindfulness - very important factor here! There is no real seamless movement into asanas as there should be. After her workout I was more annoyed than relaxed - as you should be after serious yoga practice. She doesn't explain what the poses are for beginners - she jumps right in as if you should know them already. Grant it - it will make you sweat and give you a good workout but you have to be careful because if you can't keep up - you run the risk of injury. She should stick to aerobic workouts.
Description of Fat-Blasting Yoga
In this 60 minute workout, you'll increase your heart rate and improve your circulation which aids in weigh loss and burning extra calories, as you flow through a series of classic yoga poses combined with an aerobic vinyasa. Plus by incorporating standing poses and core conditioning moves, you'll reshape your entire body and experience increased flexibility, stamina and energy.This well-designed program combines fast-paced yoga moves for fat-burning, hatha yoga poses for strength and flexibility, and stability ball exercises for core conditioning in three segments that can be done in one 60-minute session, or separately. Segment 1 builds patterns based on strong yoga poses such as the Warrior and Balancing Stick, adding lifts and lunges at a fast pace so that you're breathing faster and working the muscles simultaneously. Segment 2 is strength training by holding poses. Segment 3 focuses on core strength with a stability ball. Some familiarity with yoga is helpful--Austin doesn't give much instruction about breathing or the fine points of the poses--but not required. Although Austin talks nonstop, as always, her voice is quieter than usual and more fitting for this workout. (The repetitive, rhythmic music, however, is distracting rather than supportive.) Recommended for intermediate exercisers because no modifications are shown, and many of the poses are challenging. --Joan Price
