10 Minute Solution Yoga DVD

Advantages: good fun, varied, excellent value for money
Disadvantages: Need handweights for two sections which is not advertised

...For the amount of chocolate I consume, it is paramount that I exercise. The problem in this however, is that I have a very short attention span and get bored of doing the same exercise day in day out. So a little jaded by my gym and swimming sessions, I thought I'd branch out into the world of fitness dvds, which is when I stumbled across 10 Minute Solution: Kick Box Bootcamp. The Kick Box Bootcamp is one of a range of 10 Minute Solution workouts. Other titles include pilates, carb and calorie burner, target toning, blast off belly fat, yoga and fat blasting Latin mix. Each DVD contains five ten minute segments presented by a professional instructor. This is a brilliant idea; on a busy day you can easily fit in just a couple of segments to get a good, quick workout, but equally, if you have a lot of time to hand, the whole workout... Read review

Advantages: Will improve flexibility and tone
Disadvantages: Very repetitive and clearly low budget

...The blurb on the box decribes this DVD as an 'exciting and unique programme combining some of the more classic Yoga forms with simple but effective dance techniques to give your body an all round workout'. Unfortunately I have to say that after doing this DVD two times I won't be doing it again for a while. This is because I found it more repetitive than exciting and honestly have better DVD's to workout to. The DVD is broken down into three sections. The first two are around twenty minutes long and are Standing stretch and floor work. The final section is the 'freestyle' Yoga dance section. Standing Stretch This section lasts around 20 minutes and is made up of mostly Yoga positions such as the tree, triangle etc. It is set on the patio of a hotel and the instructor and a 'guest presenter' (she doesn't say a word, often wobbles...

...all your joints keeping them flexible and in great condition, even as you get older. 7. Staying young. By keeping the spine flexible you add years to your life. Yoga also stimulates blood flow to the skin and hair keeping you looking younger and the relaxing benefits help reduce those frown lines. So, now you know why it's so good for you, why should you use this DVD? A bit more information to help convince you.. The Format The DVD is split into eight workouts, each lasting 10 minutes. This is a really great format for an exercise DVD as it means you can tailor how much you do. Some days you may only manage to do one segment, others you can do three in a row for a half an hour, or you could even do the whole thing. It's a really easy way to fit yoga into your life and every little helps, as they say. It's also more difficult to convince... Read review

Advantages: Ten minute sections so you can go at your own pace
Disadvantages: None

...I decided to get a yoga video and it was pointed out to me, that the best video to get would be Barbara Currie as she is 58 years old and what she looks like speaks for itself. Getting excercise videos from the latest star who has brought one out, may be all well and good, but be realistic we are never going to look like them. This lady looks like she is in her 30's and all from yoga, so she must be doing something right. The video was bought from Amazon.co.uk for £9.99 £3 off recommended price. This video caters for beginners and advanced users, there are 3 people on the video, Barbara Currie and 2 other ladies, one demonstrates the beginners exercises and the other lady demonstrates the advanced, it is so easy to follow. There are eight 10 minute sections to this video, so you can do each section at your leisure. The first... Read review
