DVD Reviews of Karen Voight - Yoga & Sculpting
DVD Review: Two previously released workouts (YogaSculpt and Core Essentials) on one DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
In Yoga & Sculpting, instructor Karen Voight has packaged two of her previous workouts on one DVD. I have outlined each of these two workouts below.
YogaSculpt is a 45-minute workout which combines classic yoga poses with innovative twists to turn up the intensity and focus on sculpting. Karen begins the workout with a relaxing breathing exercise but then quickly steps up the pace with a challenging sequence which combines down dog with high push up pose. The standing series includes traditional yoga poses such as Warrior 1, Warrior 2, and Triangle pose, but Karen combines each pose with extra lengthening and stretching moves. The first half of workout, which can be selected separately on the DVD menu (YogaFlow), is 25 minutes, and then it's on to the floor for matwork focused on the abdominals and back. In this section, Karen combines yoga poses such as Boat and Bridge with Pilates-type movements. Both the abs and the back receive thorough attention, and then the practice ends with a brief stretch. On the DVD menu, this section can be selected as a stand-alone practice as well; it is listed as "Pilates Matwork" and labelled as being 20 minutes long, but I timed it as less. Although Karen is an excellent instructor who performs the workout fluidly and with flawless form, there were a few times when I felt that she failed to adequately cue a change in movement. Overall, this is a challenging yet relaxing workout which may add some nice variety for those with some prior experience in yoga.
Core Essentials has been marketed under several other names, including Pilates Core Essentials and Core Plus More. It is 40-minute, full-body toning workout similar to the first half of one of Karen's other videos, Streamline Fitness. The workout begins with a simple, 4 minute warm-up to get your body moving; this is followed by 8 minutes of standing strength moves. The exercises consist of traditional squats and crunches, but Karen makes them unique by adding more movement. Although her cuing is excellent, I found this section to be a bit hard to follow, particularly given that the arm movements didn't seem well-suited to the leg work. Karen then moves to the floor and continues the legwork with extensions done both on all fours and on the side; she sometimes uses her weighted "genie balls," but the moves are challenging enough without the added weight! She also targets the arms with a tough push-ups sequence as well as performs several exercises with dumbbells. Karen ends the workout with ab and back exercises followed by a 6 minute cool down. The DVD menu offers options to do several components of this workout separately: Legs & Buttocks (10 min.), Arms & Back (5 min.), and Abdominals (5 min.).
Both of these workouts are unique and different, and they may be a good option for those who would like to incorporate more core work into their strength training but who don't enjoy traditional Pilates workouts. Finally, I feel that this DVD would be best suited to exercisers at an advanced beginner or early intermediate level.
