Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
This well-designed program combines fast-paced yoga moves for fat-burning, hatha yoga poses for strength and flexibility, and stability ball exercises for core conditioning in three segments that can be done in one 60-minute session, or separately. Segment 1 builds patterns based on strong yoga poses such as the Warrior and Balancing Stick, adding lifts and lunges at a fast pace so that you're breathing faster and working the muscles simultaneously. Segment 2 is strength training by holding poses. Segment 3 focuses on core strength with a stability ball. Some familiarity with yoga is helpful--Austin doesn't give much instruction about breathing or the fine points of the poses--but not required. Although Austin talks nonstop, as always, her voice is quieter than usual and more fitting for this workout. (The repetitive, rhythmic music, however, is distracting rather than supportive.) Recommended for intermediate exercisers because no modifications are shown, and many of the poses are challenging. --Joan Price

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Denise Austin - Fat Blasting YOGA video
This is an excellent exercise video. It combines cardio with YOGA moves for a total body workout. Very good!!!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I have to disagree with the negative reviews of this workout!
I've had this DVD workout now for a few years, and I have to say I really love it! I know some find Denise's chirpy style annoying, but I don't think she's like that at all in this DVD.. and I must say I've never heard her say 'Yea yoga' - and I've done this DVD hundreds of times! perhaps its in the intro??

I find this a fantastic all over workout that is surprisingly effective in toning up given I'm generally a cardio workout lover.. I always feel so incredibly energised by this ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - good work out
I got this disc on sale, and it was my first of Denise Austin. I like Denise's style, and had never done yoga before using this disc. I like the workouts, I feel like I taking it kind of easy, but still getting a good work out if i do the first segment alone. On a really good day I go through all the segments, however there are a couple moves in the strength section that I will never be able to do and there are some movements in the ball section that i dont have room for in my living room. I had no ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Love It
I love this workout. You need a little yoga background but it's a great workout that incorporates yoga with cardio. Denise is so motivating and I feel like I got my Yoga in and my workout in for the day.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Not Enough Direction
Denise Austin is a fantastic aerobic instructor but her yoga workouts are not something I recommend. This workout is a yogaerobics workout - that's fine if that's what you're looking for. I'm pretty advanced at yoga but her lack of guidance and jarring movements can cause serious injury to a non beginner. Her voice is distracting because of the constant upbeat chatter and the music is just as distracting. No focus on mindfulness - very important factor here! There is no real seamless movement into ...
