Something brilliant, bloody brilliant, is the hot guy who is doing advanced yoga. It’s a mental game they play with the females doing this workout. He’s hot. What a motivation to workout. lol

I used to workout to the video tape when I was in high school. As a treat to myself for my birthday I got the DVD. lmao. This is the worst routine for beginner yogis. If you have great flexibility and balance go for it. This was my first yoga video. In general, first yoga anything. I took lessons with a teacher showing what I learned from the DVD so I know it’s really good. The television does a mirror image so you can easily follow along when she says left or right.

When I do video/dvd/ netflix workouts I rather put the screen behind me and practice in the mirror. So that’s the only down fall. If you turn off the sound you won’t be confused. I believe at home video workouts should be done facing a mirror with the television reflected in the mirror. We have a horrible tendency of making ourselves comfortable while working out. What I’m saying is you could be doing it wrong and thinking you’re right. If you can see yourself, and the program, you can’t go wrong.

I wish Kristin McGee or the editor of this dvd took more time to breath and exhale between moves. The program goes really fast, but then again it is power yoga. If it’s really an issue just hit pause.

The move above is half moon. In the dvd she has you take both arms up and parallel. I hate it, but love it at the same time. Some moves are difficult like this.

Yoga is a relaxing, not always easy exercise that works all of your body. It is believed it can massage your organs. So if you have food allergies, like me, certain moves are more effective/efficient for you to utilize.

There is so much I can say about yoga. I just love it. It’s really good for you.

Here’s a preview of the program:

I’m wondering if I can do this:

If I can’t I’d love to work up to it.

This workout really tones you. I wouldn’t do it everyday. You need make sure you’re consistently challenging yourself and always building on. Doing the same thing over and over again builds strength. Though one must question: When you are able to easily do the workout without breaking a sweat shouldn’t you move on to another workout?
