Description of Yogini Workout
If you want to blast fat, firm up & de-stress, this all-in-one workout is perfect for you! Don't worry - Yogini Workout is not a yoga class. It's a workout that utilizes just a pinch of power yoga, along with core-Pilates & bootcamp style energizers, for the ultimate belly buns and thighs blitz. No equipment necessary, no shoes required. This signature Studio workout is challenging yet relaxing. Can exercise & tranquility co-exist? Yes! And you won't believe how good you feel when they collide! We begin with breathing invigoration, flow into a 30-minute zenful standing series, then spend 15 minutes on the mat, targeting our 'trouble' spots - the belly, buns & thighs. The workout is 45 minutes total, moderate tempo...and suitable for all fitness levels. Ellen Barrett says: "I've been obsessed with creating the perfect workout since I started teaching fitness as a college freshman. I've never lost sight of the real reasons for working out -- to look better (body), to feel better (mind) & to be better (spirit). This is why I created The Studio. I wanted a modern and elegant setting to celebrate mind/body fusion fitness. As a book author, best-selling DVD star, Lifetime TV's fit-pro and successful studio owner, I consider my mission to be groundbreaking - I'm pioneering the new age of fitness. The Studio is my laboratory. With this DVD, I'm inviting you to come get fit with me in my workout utopia." Barefoot, no equipment necessary, 45 minutes duration.Sports reviews of Yogini Workout
Customer Review: Great intermediate workout ;-P
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I own several Ellen Barrett led workouts, and this is one of the better ones. She's always chipper and outgoing without being anoying or offputting and she leads very well, with clear instruction so you shouldn't get lost too much.
All up, this is about 45 minutes and great to do either after a strenuous workout, or at the end of a hard day. You will definately increase flexibility and balance after doing this even only a couple of times. It does get a little easier with each try. With all the yoga moves, there is also muscle toning too. I love the little stretches between moves. There is nice relaxing instrumental music and overall the workout is relaxing (yet you will feel this for the next day or so).
I really enjoy doing this (I'm not a major Yoga fan, but enjoy this one) and have done it even twice in one day for the heck of it. It's great and Ellen is great. She's a terrific instructor who clearly loves doing yoga and teaches well. I highly recommend this one.
Customer Review: Relaxing and challenging all at once!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I am going to preface by say that I love Ellen Barrett's workout DVDs. She's friendly and inspiring w/out being cheesy, and has a clam gentle voice that doesn't get irritating. I have a few of her Crunch dvds and one she did with Self magazine.
The Yogini workout is great because it fuses yoga poses w/ gentle cardio and leaves you feeling relaxed and refreshed but also sweaty, so you know you just got a good workout. I had backed off from traditional yoga classes and videos b/c I don't have the arm strength right now to do a zillion sun salutations, so this video allowed me to get a pinch of the parts of yoga I enjoy.
I can't wait for the new Studio workouts Ellen has coming out over the Holidays!!
Customer Review: This one is a must!!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I did this workout on a Sunday after an entire week of working out fairly hard. I consider myself lower advanced level, and I was sore so I thought this would be an "easy" workout for a light day. Um... no. The workout started off very relaxing and flowing, which Ellen is known for.. I have several of her other dvds and love the graceful moves. The workout intensifies as it goes on, and I couldn't believe how hard I was working. Even though I was sore from my other workouts, I pushed through it and felt EXTREMELY satisfied by the end. This is not your run of the mill workout, and it will add a powerful, graceful flair to your workout routine. Do not miss out on this one!!Customer Review: Excellent, Tough, Feel Good Workout
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This workout is wonderful! It's challenging, without being overly tough, and leaves you feeling thouroughly worked out, but energized and relaxed. Ellen is amazing! There aren't enough days in the week to do all of her great workouts! This one especially works the lower body (the chair pose after all the downward dogs is awesome for your thighs), but also includes some upper body (mostly shoulders) and ab work. It's best in conjunction with her Slim Sculpt (a killer upper body workout) and her Fat Burning Fusion, but it's also great by itself on days when I need to be energized or release tension and stress.Customer Review: perfect for an off day
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I do this video on my off days from running. It has really helped w/ my form, flexibility and breathing. The stretching is awesome after hard running or a week w/ particularly a lot of miles. It really helps strengthen and shape the core and arms that get neglected from just running. She is fabulous and her cues are right on. This dvd is also great b/c it never pushes you to the point of exhaustion but there is definitely exertion. This is a nice, relaxing change from my normal work out and Ellen's voice and smile are soothing!! I also like the way she explains which muscles are being worked and how.
