Great Calorie Burn
I was a bit skeptical to purchase this DVD as I was afraid it would lack some of the calorie burn that is present in Jillian's traditional workouts. Having said that, this workout stands above and beyond her previously released "Yoga Meltdown." Both of the workouts in Yoga Inferno elevate heart rate and leave you feeling like you really got a great workout. I do not have a lot of experience with the practice of Yoga, however, Jillian has modified this DVD in her style (combining strength and cardio) and does not disappoint. Level 2 incorporates hand weights to intensify the burn. I was worried this would be a workout I would have to "combine" with a traditional workout to get optimal results, however, having done both level 1 and level 2, I find I am already sore (which is great!) I would recommend this workout to old and new Jillian fans.
I was a little concerned at first
A word of CAUTION: This is not the yoga you are probably used to if you are unfamiliar with Jillian's take on yoga. Yoga with Jillian is not yoga with anyone else. So be prepared to wonder what on earth she is doing, making you do mountain climbers in yoga. But it is completely, and totally worth it. Just don't expect a nice, relaxing yoga dvd when you order this one.
Also, when I realized Jillian and her dancers were on a desert landscape doing yoga in aviators, I thought this was going to be a waste of money. It's a little weird at first. But it is a fantastic workout, so all of that can be overlooked pretty quickly.
The only negative thing besides the set that I can say is that she goes through the movements a little fast- even though I am experienced in yoga, this takes some getting used to. Normally she takes time to tell you what each move is and how to get into it and mistakes to avoid, but she really doesn't do that too much in this video. It's okay, once...
Get Ready To Sweat!
If you're looking for a challenging workout that incorporates yoga this is the DVD for you! Get ready to bend and stretch your way through a rigorous routine that mixes yoga and cardio extremely well. It's by far the toughest yoga based workout I own. Jillian delivers yet again. This is not for the yoga purists. It's clearly designed to melt fat and increase flexibility at the same time. This will definitely sculpt your body into long lean lines and help improve your yoga practice. A win win!!!!
