 AMAZING! December 19, 2008
15 out of 17 found this review helpful
I ordered this product during the pre-sale so I got it the tuesday that it was released. I'm new to yoga but I must say that this was one of the best workouts I've ever done. I read about how yoga has changed so many peoples lives and to be honest, I wasn't buying it. But, now, I'm starting to believe that maybe there is something to it. Bob is so motivating (not to mention easy on the eyes)! The moves are simple and easy to follow, but you can feel your heart racing and your muscles working with every move and stretch. Of course, I'm presently on Level I, but I'm looking forward to moving up in the next few weeks. Buy it! Now! :)
 Not bad but could be better... December 27, 2008

I'm a former Bikram yoga practitioner but it got hard to attend sessions (Bikram uses special studio with 105+ temp needed) and it got expensive ($$$) with today's economy. So, I looked around for something to do at home. That said, this isn't bad. It isn't as good and intense as Bikram (which I think is the best form of yoga), but it isn't bad for the price. There's one thing about most workout DVDs that bug me and that is that you have to keep watching your TV screen while doing the routines which is the same with this DVD. You find yourself doing one thing, you look up, and everyone has switched. That's one thing about Bikram that was great, and that was the dialogue used. All you did in Bikram was concentrate on yourself and not have to think about anything. You were told where to move, which arm to lift, which leg to hold, etc. It would have been great if Bob could have been a bit more precise with his instructions. He could have said things like "lift your left leg, move right arm," etc. so that you could do the exercise and not have to look up and ruin your pose constantly. Instead you hear Bob say "move your leg or move your arm" and then you have to look up to see which arm or leg he is talking about and then you forget if you last did your left or your right so you sometimes end up doing the same side twice.
Anyway, beyond that, a few weeks of this DVD and you'll memorize what goes where. It is good for what it is. I wouldn't use it for your only exercise routine but it will come in handy after or before some other routine or on Sunday where you are lazy but you want to do something anyway. I've used it after volleyball in the park or hitting the heavy bag in my garage. It is good for cooling down and taking some aches away. The trick is you have to use it.
 More like Pilates December 22, 2008

This isn't a bad workout, but it's really not yoga. It's more like Pilates. Heavy empahsis on working the arms.
Kicked my butt! December 20, 2008

I've done a LOT of dvd yoga workouts, but this one was by far the best. Bob does a really good job of walking you through each pose. The first time I did it, following his instructions, I was able to do a deep forward bend and hold onto the bottoms of my feet. I've NEVER been able to do this before! I definitely recommend it over any other yoga workouts on the market. (But if you buy it, be prepared to sweat.)
Another awesome Biggest Loser workout video! December 27, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I was excited to hear that The Biggest Loser folks had created a yoga video. It doesn't disappoint either. Just like the previous Biggest Loser DVDs, this is awesome. I have been wanting to get into yoga and this is a great way to start, with one of the trainers we are used to watching each week and with some of the contestants we grow to love on the show (Ali, Bernie, Bill, Michelle, Heba and Vicky).
I definitely recommend this not only for fans of The Biggest Loser, but for anyone who wants a yoga workout that isn't intimidating and is easy to follow.
