Fat Free Yoga Total Tune-Up is a DVD featuring Ravi Singh and Ana Brett. I thought this was a very good DVD, and pretty long for the money spent. You will need to have some time on your hands to do these workouts, as they are not 10 minutes each. The total time of this DVD runs 80 minutes. This fat free yoga DVD is meant to help you change your body, energize, and improve your mood. There are four segments on this DVD which can be done one at a time or altogether. The first one is about warming up and opening up so that you can improve your flexibility and help your back. The second section which is about firming and affirming, and is meant to help your stomach tighten and improve your digestive system. The third section is about burning calories to increase the speed of your metabolism. The fourth section which is titled raise yourself up, is meant to help your thyroid and decrease depression. This is good if you want to stay more positive in life and work on depression issues.
Yoga In Chairs for Beginners was pretty good for what it was designed to do. My concern on this DVD is that someone may buy it who is ready for more active yoga that this. I thought that this could be a good DVD for someone at any age, but really it is a very, very gentle introduction to yoga when you are sitting in a chair. The yoga instructor in this DVD is Liz Franklin. Although this DVD is meant to bring mobility to the whole body, I think it is more ideal as a starter DVD for someone who can only sit in a chair, with a plan that they would like to grow into using another yoga DVD eventually.
Crunch – Candlelight Yoga is a great DVD. If you want to get good exercise, stretching, breathing, flexibility, restoration, relaxation, and stress relief, this DVD will really help get you there. This crunch workout is from crunch fitness. The instructor, Sara Ivanhoe, is from Los Angeles and is a certified yoga teacher. In this yoga DVD you’ll find that the 30 minute set of yoga postures and poses help your body health, balance, and flexibility. Although breathing and meditation are often part of yoga, this DVD keeps up the pace. The instructor on this DVD is beautiful to watch, and really gives the owner of the DVD of their money’s worth. This DVD not only includes the candlelight yoga workout, but a 15 minute bonus yoga workout for energizing as well. We were impressed and so happy that crunch created such a professional environment for this video shoot and that the package that the owner of the DVD gets when they buy it is a worthwhile one. Thanks crunch!
When many people think of fitness, they think of only exercise. Diet, Yoga, and stress reduction are very important as well in fitness. Diet affects some of us more than others at early ages. As we age, diet can affect us more. When I was in my 20’s, I could eat a lot of sugary foods and it seemed to have no effect. Ten years later now, I cannot do that. Food powers us, so it is very important to get the right balance of nutrition. Learn more in this book.
Yoga is important for exercise, state of mind, and stress reduction. Here is a yoga video I recommend.
