 Slow Burn Yoga, Needs More Variety March 15, 2010
Beth (Denver, CO)
I'm surprised by all of the positive reviews of this DVD. I've done yoga for a number of years and found this DVD to be kind of repetitive and slow-paced. This is the SLOW BURN yoga (holding a pose for an extended period of time) that I find to be a bit boring. I think the instructor's comments are discouraging and irritating ("oh, you're shaking now, those legs are on fire, who said yoga wasn't hard, etc."). It is a challenging workout, but it needs more variety. I do think the arm exercises in this DVD are excellent. For upbeat, fun workouts, I like Ellen Barrett's Crunch Yoga and Crunch Pilates.

"The Biggest Loser - Weight Loss Yoga" DVD is a great way to get into yoga without spending a lot of money on it or risk looking like an idiot in public when you fall over. You'll be dripping with sweat when you're done and if you already have some experience with yoga, you'll still be getting a good workout. Bob's instructions are clear and he keeps you motivated throughout the session. If you(like me) like keeping in shape with minimal time and effort spent, you should definately consider this dvd. The only negativ I might say for this product is that it may get a bit onesided and boring after a while - but by then you will hopefully have supplemented your exercise with additional workouts. Definately worth the money I spent on it!

Harder than I thought it would be. February 26, 2010
Ricki Hannahs (Columbus, OH)
This is a very good workout, it is more intense than I thought it was going to be. I guess I should of read closer about it being a Weight Loss Yoga, instead of thinking it was just regular yoga. If you want a more intense yoga workout I would suggest this one.
Great workout, even for regular practitioners February 22, 2010

I've done yoga for years (just as exercise and stress-relief, not to become one of those enviable hard-body professional trainer types.) Having gotten myself completely out of shape and broke over the last year, I figured I'd check out this DVD. How hard could it be if folks who were 100's of pounds overweight were doing it? Famous last words.
This is an excellent workout, both for those who regularly practice yoga and for beginners, as the instructor - Bob Harper - tells you how to turn the intensity up or down depending on your fitness level. Another thing I like is that Bob pretty much hits the ground running, the warm up is quick and effective, no chanting or time spent on philosophy (if you're doing this before work, running late and hoping to squeeze in a cup of coffee afterwords this is much appreciated.:) Also it is surprisingly easy to follow along and correct your form if it's off - I found it easier than in classes, where you are craning your neck around the other students to figure out who is doing it right.
Three small caveats, none enough to individually or collectively detract from the five-star rating: (1) might be worth exploring the notion of breathing a little more. Bob does some of that, but breathing is so intrinsic to a good and productive practice that an additional minute or so would be well spent. (2) For the beginners, a few of the poses are unexplained and might be confusing the first couple of times. Eg, Going right from stretches to downward facing dog - if you didn't know what that was you would have to watch the video and figure out the best way to do it without explanation (and dfd is one of the most important poses there is.) (3) I've only been doing the DVD for a month, but I imagine it would get very repetitive after a while. But this is applicable to ALL exercise DVD's, I would think. Also, it is well worth keeping on the shelf, this is one a yoga fan would likely come back to over and over again.
