Yoga Booty Ballet (DVD, 2006, 2-Disc Set)

Two medium to medium-hard routines (depending on whether you do just the motions or really put effort into the workout). Both have nice yoga/abs/ballet sections that compliment the cardio workout. I agree that the "new age" mantra stuff is a little bothersome for some, but I ignore that part and just stretch and breathe while they go through their lectures. Overall, two of my favorite routines to use on mornings when I'm not quite up to high-impact kickboxing.

I have been looking for something to keep me motived and not kill me with over the top exercise. I have found that in the YBB series. I get a great workout, that is actually fun and time for myself. I have tried all the new fitness crazes but I had never done yoga before this. I have to say that I completely enjoy the yoga part of the series. I find it very calming and centering. No other workouts have given me this feeling...and I don't just mean the calming...my abs and butt are feeling it too!

Absolutely LOVE these 3 DVDs. I have never done yoga before (or ballet for that matter) but my niece was very encouraging about these 3 DVDs. When I received them, I viewed each one and saw that the moves were simple - even the ballet moves - and incorporated fun, hip dances moves with both the yoga and the ballet. And what I loved is that the people who are doing the classes are in all shapes and sizes - this isn't one of those intimidating DVDs where all the participants are magazine models. These are regular people (even a guy named Randy - hot!) doing these moves and my neighbor and I are begun to do the routines 3x a week. We mix up the sections of the yoga/ballet so it doesn't get boring. This is a definite must for anyone looking to strengthen and tone and have fun exercising! Highly recommend this set!

This is a wonderful workout! I lost 7 pounds in my first week with yoga booty ballet and the amazing part is that I only used it 4 times! It is such a great energy builder!

This item was pretty average, nothing that I really needed to phone home about. Some of the DVDs looked like they were filmed back in the late 90s. The other negative thing about the work out itself is that even on the beginner level you should have some stamina and strength built up before you plan on doing the routine because it is not easy. I understand that no work out in the beginning is easy you are better off trying to attempt another work out routine to build yourself up to this one. The routines are relatively boring and uneventful but if you are one who enjoys thinking about how long you have left while you are working out then this is the one for you.
