DVD Reviews of Rodney Yee: ABS Yoga for Beginners

DVD Review: Excellent if modified...
Summary: 5 Stars

I should start this by saying that I have been doing yoga for about a year and working out hard for the same time. I was looking for a difficult, new way to attack my abs, just to mix it up from all the different crunches and weighted ab moves I normally do.

My first time through this dvd, I was bummed. It was not really yoga, but also, very very easy. Anyone could start here. The more I thought about it though, the more I modified it to work for me. For example, one move that you keep returning to is called "staff pose". This pose, you sit with your legs straight in front of you and pressed together. I started keeping my legs slightly off the ground and never letting them touch from the beginning to the end. This is much more difficult.

If you understand how to push yourself harder than further than you ever thought you could go - I recommend this dvd.

DVD Review: Rodyne Yee ABS Yoga Abs for Beginners
Summary: 2 Stars

Think it is mostly stretching and not getting much of a workout to tighten abs.

DVD Review: Great for Beginners
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this DVD because my abs needed toning, and I needed something that wouldn't be too strenuos yet would still be a beneficial workout. I am over 60 and not terribly flexible. Other abs workouts that I've tried were too difficult for me. Rodney Yee is so explicit in his instruction, and his voice is so soothing that I can do these exercises with my eyes closed. At the end of the DVD I feel both productive in helping to tone my abs and relaxed at the same time. Plus, I notice that my flexiblity is increasing. I have to modify some of the poses to suit my physical limitations, but I still notice an improvement in the way I feel and the way my clothes fit.
I enjoy this DVD so much that I bought another Rodney Yee DVD and plan to buy more, just for variety.

DVD Review: AN AB WORKOUT WITHOUT CRUNCHES
Summary: 4 Stars

This workout although only 26 minutes long has basic yet progressively harder exercises and I definitely felt it working my abs by the end. Beginners shouldn't have any problems with this flowing sequence of poses and as usual Rodney's voice instruction is flawless. I think what I liked the most about ABS YOGA is that this is an Abdominal workout without crunches and I appreciated learning some different moves to help combat the muffin top.

Filmed in Death Valley National Park, the backdrop here is a beautiful desert setting. And although I recognized the ambient music from several other Yee DVD's, its pleasant enough and doesn't distract.

Beginning in a seated position the first part of this workout concentrates on breathing exercises then moves onto your hands and knees for Cat Pose and finally to your back where most of the workout is performed. With repetitions of knees to chest, head to knees and slowly lowering and raising your legs, you begin to feel the burn. Then Rodney leads us through side twists and several Half and Full Boat Poses which get progressively more difficult as does the burn. Towards the end we stand for Mountain Pose and Foreword Bend before sitting again into Staff and Cobblers Pose. The relaxation segment is short but well done and you'll come away feeling tighter and relaxed.

I believe this might be a good introduction to yoga for first timers, giving you a taste of the breathing and energy without overwhelming you with too many traditional yoga poses. And for those who do a regular yoga practice this is a great workout that you will definitely feel in your abs the next day. Namaste.

Great product for those serious about getting back in shape.
Not for someone excessively over weight.
