Not yoga

by Amanda from on 2010-07-26
This video is not yoga. There is no focus on breath, a yoga video should explain when to inhale and exhale in sync with the poses. He does not use the yoga terms associated with a lot of the poses, which will not help you when you go to a yoga class. There is no focus on spirituality and relaxation. I only did the first workout, so I can't comment whether they get any better.

Bob is obnoxious as a yoga instructor. This isn't an aerobic workout, I could do without all the pumping up..."Your arms will look just like this!","You are going to be burning fat!" He talks too much and doesn't help you understand how to do the poses well...or how to modify the poses based on your skill level. He doesn't mention using blocks for beginners. For example, he brings you into extended side angle (without telling you the name) and then tells you to put your hand flat on the floor, which is a more advanced version of the pose. He does the same with side plank...tells you to stack your heels, which is pretty hard for a beginner. It's easy to hurt yourself without good instruction.

It's also not helpful to be watching people who don't know how to do the poses correctly. If you copy the people in the video, you will be doing the poses wrong.

Pass on this one.

LOVE this yoga workout!

by Janell S. Mogus from VA on 2010-07-22
Bob Harper has done it again with this yoga workout!
I am an avid yoga fan and have practiced yoga for a few years. I'm always looking for a yoga workout I can grow with as well as a yoga workout that makes me feel great. This is it.

I really like that you can customize this workout by adding a warm up, levels 1-3 and a cool down to make it your own workout. My recommendation is to start with the level 1 yoga practice, as it definitely offers a challenge, unless you are already a yogi. But for everyone else, start with level 1 and grow with the yoga practice from there.

I also like that Bob has some of the "students" show modifications as well. There are 3 who do the modified versions of the poses, which is great. Or, if you're up for a challenge, follow Ali an Bill all the way through.

I have found that, after working with this yoga workout, I am much more flexible, able to go deeper in to the poses and find a great deal of satisfaction with this workout and yoga practice.

Also, I am a type II diabetic and anything that keeps me moving, motivated, and managing my diabetes, without medication, is a hit for me!

Thank you Bob and BL cast for this awesome yoga DVD!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!!

Great workout

by blue velvet from Trinidad on 2010-06-19
I wanted a yoga workout to change up my exercise routine a bit. And I specifically wanted a DVD with good instruction for a beginners a long with a trust worthy trainer. This fits the bill!
I love that you can select and mix which work outs you do, with the time each takes indicated. It makes exercise easier to do on a busy schedule.

Just like my yoga class

by Elizabeth A. Cipparrone from NJ on 2010-05-20
Pretty basic moves- definitely makes me sweat though. I have only done levels 1 and 2, which are for beginners. This DVD is very much like a yoga class I had taken in the past. I really enjoy this DVD.

Want to lose inches?

by back2stacey from Huron Twp, MI on 2010-05-07
This customizeable workout will make you sweat. The DVD is good for beginners and experts alike. There are enough Big Losers on the DVD so beginner modifications and expert modifications are depicted with each exercise. I have been using this DVD for about 2 months now and have lost 3" around the waist, 2" on biceps, and 4" on my thighs.

Didn't get exactly what was ordered

by T. DeLauro from Longmont, CO on 2010-05-07
I had wanted the Yoga Meltdown DVD the most out of these three workout DVDs and that is the one I DID NOT receive at all. Instead I received the Biggest Loser Cardio Max DVD, even though I would have EVENTUALLY bought that one, I REALLY wanted the Yoga Meltdown DVD and now I have to eventually buy that one. This was definitely disappointing and I am glad I was the one receiving this package and not someone else.

SHORTS: Bio Ceramic material in these shorts both generates Far Infrared Rays (FIR) and reflects your body's own FAR infrared rays. "FAR" relates to the size of the wavelength and Infrared is the part of the light spectrum that generates heat. The primary benefit of these rays is to help to break down cellulite cells, improve circulation and revitalize tissue. Increased heat and molecular stimulation enhances the effectiveness of exercise, increases blood flow, and accelerates metabolism to burn more calories. Bio Ceramic shorts also improve the effectiveness of anti-cellulite cream by assisting its penetration deep into the skin and cellulite. Shorts are a great option to wear during yoga. Bio Ceramic shorts feature 1.5mm neoprene with soft nylon/lycra lining and soft elastic waistband. The shorts are contoured to fit snuggly and contain an anti-microbial additive to reduce bacteria build-up. Since these shorts fit close to the body, they can also be worn for everyday use to help contour your body while helping cellulite reduction. Washable.

Ok product - a bit pricey for the result

by Julie Sanders from on 2010-03-02
My problem area is definitely my thighs. I got this product thinking it would help with that area. It definitely makes you sweat in your thighs. I used the cream also and it has a very strong minty odor, not too overpowering but not the best thing to smell. The cream makes your legs feel cold, so I don't know if I would recommend putting it on before bed because you'll have trouble sleeping right away.

I think the biggest problem is that wearing these shorts every day is just not an option for me because they get so dirty from sweat. The shorts are way too expensive to own more than one pair. I don't really think it is worth the purchase unless you don't mind wearing dirty shorts every day, or you want to spend a lot of money on extra pairs to wear clean ones. I can't really comment on long-term effects because I didn't find this whole "schedule" of shorts-wearing to be reasonable in my everyday life.

Good set.

by Marlena from Lake Tahoe area, NV on 2009-06-19
I like shorts a lot, they really make the body sweat and keep thighs warm.
The cream is ok, I used it within 2 weeks, absorbs quite fast, and a little goes long way. I was applying twice a day on thighs, stomach and buttocks. I like ingredients and the fact that it wasn't tested on animals.
The whole package arrived very fast. The size chart is correct, my measurements indicated size small, and shorts fit perfect (5'6", 133 lb).
Back of my tighs looks smoother, and I don't believe in miracles, but I use anticellulite creams for years, and since wearing shorts the results are better. Probably it is optical, not permanent, result of tighter skin, but I guess that's the way should be with these shorts.

Exactly What I Ordered

by J. Tomlin from Denver, CO United States on 2009-07-16
This was exactly what I ordered. Many of the previous reviews said that it was difficult to fill, but if you follow the directions, it fills easily. I love this product.

I was skeptical!

by berit459 from on 2009-07-04
This was purely an impulse buy. Filling the ball took about 10 minutes. You have to keep "burping" it to get more water to go in. Have some patience!
There is no hype, no long instructions, just a color poster with a small amount of instructions under each picture. It says do 2 sets of 15 reps for each picture. I have not exercised for awhile. I start and stop my exercises all the time. So, presently, I am not fit. Let me just say that I only did one set of repetitions and it kicked me! This is great cardio and core strength. I will be sore tomorrow. I think you could expand on these exercises, or use it before a walk or a run. It is simple, no fancy dance steps or annoying people talking to you on a DVD. And it doesn't take an hour. I will use this in the morning before work! It's perfect!

Water Ball

by Linda K. Wunar from Joliet, IL on 2009-02-09
Water Ball is great for ab workouts. The only drawback is that it's difficult to fill up quickly! I wish I knew of a better way to fill it up. The instructions do not state how often to change the water. Do you have to change the water??

Haven't used the jumprope yet.

Complete waste of money

by D. Connelly from Portland, OR on 2009-02-04
The idea is interesting but you can't actually fill the ball up with water. The hole that the water is suppose to go into is WAY too small. You would have to use an eye dropper to fill this thing. The jump rope has perma ripples in it from being plastic and stored in a coiled position. There are lots of other exercise balls...get one of those instead.

Great Product

by D. Broderson from PDX, USA on 2009-03-25
This is a great product however I found the instructions on how to use it a bit vague
