5.0 out of 5 stars
Works!, 14 July 2005
By A Customer
I've been a fan of Louise Solomon since the very first Yogalates DVD, and always look forward to the new one at the end of the year! Like the previous DVDs, the workouts on this one are clear and well-paced, featuring both advanced postures together with more basic versions, all shot in a pleasantly neutral white studio with no music (until the cool-down at the end), only Louise Solomon's gentle, genial voice. However, the most important thing about this DVD is that it really does work - as long, of course, as you stick to it. Louise Solomon recommends 3 times a week, but it is rare that I can manage more than 2. Still, even with 2 a week I have noticed a distinct difference in the muscle tone of my thighs, stomach and arms in particular; I even have those little split bulges (I'm sure there's a technical term for them!) at the top of my shoulders! I'm also far more flexible than I was before, despite having practised different forms of yoga on and off for many years. I was able this year to sit cross-legged and lean forwards to wash my hair in a bucket of water at Glastonbury! All in all, these differences make you keen to continue using the DVD and definitely put a nice spring in your step. But I must stress - as long as you stick to it! This DVD can be attempted by beginners, more experienced students and those like me, who fall somewhere in between. The use of the resistance band also means that as you improve, or inevitably become used to (or a bit bored by!) the DVD, you can make the workout harder for yourself by increasing the resistance on the band, and presto! - the workouts get a whole new lease of life. Certainly one of the best yoga vids out there - unpatronising, unmarred by plinky-plonky music, and anything that can help you flatten your stomach merely by breathing in a particular way has got to be good value. Can't wait for December!
