 Holy crap, I can't believe I'm actually reviewing this, but hey, here goes...
This DVD wasn't too bad, but you've gotta have a HUGE living room to do it in. The choreography uses a lot of space, and I kept mambo'ing into my coffee table.
Also, I found it kinda hard to believe that this DVD came out in 2005? Really? The instructors aren't that annoying, but they kinda have this mid-90's "Melrose Place"-vibe about them.
The choreography moves pretty quick, but thankfully, it's pretty repetitive too, so if you don't catch the moves on the first go, the ladies will give you many, many chances to pick them up. Many.
All in all, I only did about 20 minutes of it before my shins started hurting from hitting the coffee table so many times. But I did work up a sweat during that brief time. And, sure, the dancing was kinda fun, if dorky. I wouldn't pay for this, but it might be worth a Netflix queue if you've got a roomier apartment than I do! |

I'm on my second month of working out with Rodney Yee's Yoga DVDs and they're really awesome. There's 2 DVDs I flit between, 'Power Yoga - Total Body' and ' Power Yoga- 3 complete workouts'. The 3 work outs one is great to start with as the three individual programmes seem to get progressively harder. the total body, is just one long work out. I usually throw in the towel after 25 minutes (I'm working my way up to the full hour). But I realy recommend them. it's quite spiritual but not overly so.
I just wish they were available in 'region 2' format, it's a real shame as I'd like my Brit friends to have access to it...Come on Gaiaim Video!Sort it out! |

Hi, this is my first post! I don't see any previous discussion of this anywhere, SO...click here to see an amazing video that will make all your disco sweat dreams come true. My friend showed me this the other night and I insisted we watch it three times in a row! Apparently this was a #1 song in several European countries? |

Just done this yoga DVD workout with Rodney Yee. At last, the DVD exercise mentor I've been wishin' and a hopin' for all my adult years. Everytime I've gotten an exercise video from the library it's ended up being hosted by some windbag in floral lycra or by an insane harpie with a gang of shrill cheerleaders whoopin' behind her. Rodney Yee is a hero! I've only done the introductory chapter on 'Downward facing Dogs' but he's the man for me. He makes you feel like you're in Shaolin training school or something. He's calm faced and zen like through the whole thing whilst I'm sweating and stripping down to my industrial strength tit-harness sports bra.
He wears these tight little black speedos too.
Strangely pleasing. |

Hey.
I can't believe I found this community. This place is awesome and has inspired me to dress up as an 80's Jazzercizer for my Halloween costume. Sweet. I have a huge collection of workout DVDs. Including the NYC Ballet video which I find to be an awesome workout even if it is a tad on the boring side. I want to review some of my DVDs, but I'm supposed to be writing a philosophy paper right now and so I am afraid I don't have the time at the moment. But I will post reviews soon. I'm Emily, by the way. Nice to meet you. |

I tried the New York City Ballet Workout last night, and OMG OMG it is so freakin' awesome. It is not only challenging, fun, and relaxing, but it has to be the least annoying workout tape I have ever seen in my life.
( aw jeahCollapse )
Edit: Doh, I see you reviewed this before, and it was ajudged Not Awesome. Impossible! But there you have it. |
