Liked it
I liked Hard Body Yoga. I wish the DVD had been broken down a bit more but it wasn't bad for a first effort.
The DVD sections were: Full Workout, Warmup (about 6 minutes of sun salutation), bodywork, abs, and final stretch. Tari does 3 sets of the same type of exercise per longer set. The first set is the full explanation while working out, the second set includes modifications to make it easier. In a set she does the exercise at a quicker speed (about 3 times) and then does 1 slow count. For example she does a warrior lunge to the left side with 3 faster reps of lunge into warrior. Then she does a 10 count down into the lunge, then she holds in the lunge for a 10 count, then does a 10 count up. That is what all of the counting is about. Then she does the other side. I can remember the first few sections were : -Sun Salutation - warm up -Chair pose with pulsing arms to back -Downward dog with leg lifts (downward dog through plank to upward dog 3 repititions then 10 count down and 10 count up then right and left alternating leg lifts. This would be 1 set. Then repeat 3 times. -Plie squats 3 faster then 10 count down, reach left, reach right then 10 count up. (Something like this) -warrior lunges -side plank alternate left and right 3 times, hold 10 count on each side then negative lower pushup -....more -bridge move regular then with right and left leg raised -inner thigh and ab work Sorry I can't think of more. Hope this helps. I think for a first effort this is quite nice. You can make this workout as hard or as easy as you would like. I does seem a bit long and it is repetitive in that each sequence is done 3 times before you move on to the next one. It is more like a weight lifting sequence in that respect I guess. The instructors wore gray long workout pants and blue tops. I don't remember the music at all so it must not have been memorable. I thought the production quality was quite nice. Tari gave many form pointers. Other workouts somewhat like this are All The Right Moves and Leigh Crews Reebok Final Cuts. I really like Leigh Crews workout but the set is somewhat darker and she does the video one on one. Her instruction is very nice. All The Right Moves takes getting used to. I also hated the intro, but have now gotten the DVD so skip it. I will keep this workout. I felt nicely sore the next day. I also kept Leigh Crews and All The Right Moves. Tari gave instruction on the poses so I think someone with a little yoga experience would be quite comfortable with this. She did not just mention the pose by name. I hope she does more videos.
