Her workouts are tough, but her form on kettlebells and weights is pretty bad. I'm not always in the mood to watch that even though I know how to use the correct form (thank you Lauren and Cathe). Of course that wouldn't be an issue on her all cardio ones.

That said, I burned 700+ calories during this class!!! It is an awesome class that really works the legs but had a lot of cardio instead of weighted leg work which was what I intended it to include more of. It's not the first time I found her titles a bit misleading. And, I have to mention that I felt a bit exhausted after this one...a little overkill on the cardio, IMO. |

Concur re: form, especially with push-ups. But I sure am liking the variety and calorie burn in these, and believe me, I'm modifying big time! I only use a six inch step, rarely do the high impact moves (basically I turn two foot take off jumps into one foot jumps [hope that makes sense]), and I rarely match her weight in dumbbells (except for lower body), and I'm burning upwards of 550 calories in each one I've tried. Her music is a big motivator for me, and the class aspect is also encouraging. The cardio isn't just drill after drill, and I really like mixing the weights in to break up the cardio. I also like when she encourages her class to keep going!

I LOVE Yvette. I haven't really noticed her form, but do notice certain things that to me are a no-no. Like using 3 risers for step. I would never go that high. She also seems to lift pretty heavy. Maybe that's why her form can be off? I do modify or switch some of the moves to suit me, but as long as I'm working, I feel accomplished. It's wonderful that she puts these work-outs up for free.

I actually think that’s the issue with her form, is that she’s lifting too heavy. I’ve noticed some of the same things, but I’ve always been able to overlook that kind of stuff in her workouts and a few others that I have bc I know proper form and her workouts, for me, are really great. I just think she needs to lift what will allow her to do it with proper form.
Someone in the comments actually pointed out how she rotates too much when she does renegade rows but that her workouts were great. But anyway I love her workouts and her demeanor.

I love the fact that she pushes me. I know proper form (Thanks Cathe and Ilaria)!! But I still thoroughly enjoy Yvette’s workouts. I get an amazing calorie burn and feel accomplished when I’m done. I also lift lighter than her. No way can I go that heavy. I guess if your an experience exerciser you already know the deal...how heavy you can go, how many risers you’re comfortable with, how to modify moves and so on. I love her workouts!!
