Total Body Workout, 24 Sep 2009

I give this product 5 stars! Heart Healthy Yoga provides a wonderful way to begin or end one's day. Sun Salutations contain movements that work every part of the body. Even as few as three rounds a day can produce remarkable results. I have been using Sun Salutations (Heart Healthy Yoga) on a regular basis for over a year and a half and have seen major changes in my body during that time. Without dieting I have lost at least 20 pounds, trimmed my waist, lowered my cholesterol level, strengthened my thighs and arms, improved my flexibility and gained a new body. The wonderful part about this product is that it offers the material, first in an instructive way (to learn the sequences of the movements) and then gives you a 1/2 hour class in both a modified and a classical way. I would recommend this DVD to anyone - beginners or experienced students.

Not for people with wrist issues, 31 Dec 2009

I enjoy all of Peggy Cappy's yoga programs, however, this one which is mostly sun salutations should have had a warning that someone with wrist issues will be unable to perform it. Weight bearing on the wrists is required.
