Yoga & Pilates 2: Total Body

I have been a faithful yoga student to this video since 2012 and it’s 2022. This video helps with toning core strengthening and overall lifts the spirit. It is a must for any yoga level and a must have for every mom.

I have tried different exercise routines to help with wt loss and shaping, I love how yogalates has helped me achieve these goals easily. Believe me, i've done lots of cardio and wt training with slow results, you will see and feel immediate results! My husband can even tell when i've done my workout, he notices my posture, he says I look "perky"! Anyhow, after I "mastered" Vol 1, I am now on Vol 2 and very pleased with the advanced level. I do workouts 1,2 and 3 all as 1 workout, but there is an advanced total workout that I will try in 3 months. I recommend Louise Soloman to my friends, its definitely for a beginner without any yoga or pilates experience. I am sure you will be very happy with how your body will feel/look good without tiring/boring wt lifting routines and extensive cardio. I was able to cut my cardio from 40min to 20 min and still lose wt. and get stronger with these simple exercises. Try it you'll love it!

I have two main things to say about this DVD. It is very good at what its supposed to do, tone, loosen and lean you out. It is, do it 3 times a week for as long as you want and you're amazing. The thing is, if you stop for a long period of time and try and go back into it its annoying. The instructor is not easy to listen to at all, so if you have an issue with easily agitating voiced this isn't the DVD for you. I'm really not trying to be rude I'm just trying to give detail into this.

I have used this dvd for over a year now. The breathing techniques are great. I find myself more aware of my breathing now. My flexibility has gotten 100% better. You can use this 3 days a week and after just 1 month you start seeing and feeling a difference. You do have to work this dvd into your routine. It's best not to eat a heavy meal before you use this. After about 6 months, I was able to skip straight through to the total body workout and actually complete the entire dvd. I had my husband workout with me using this dvd and it really changed his mind. He didn't think it was intense enough for him, but he didn't make it through the entire dvd. It is a workout and it will improve your flexibilty.

I very much regret to have bought this DVD! I had high hopes after reading many of the positive reviews. But after watching the video for the first time and trying to do the exercises, I find the workouts rather boring with too much talking. I did not really feel I'm doing a workout at all. Bought this used and can't return without having to pay for return postage. A waste of money!

Lasts as long as you would like because it has different parts. We do the first 2 or 3 parts and it lasts about an hour, which is how long we exercise. Then there is another part for advanced. We have tried it but we're not there yet! It is very good, as we have another beginner tape by Louise that we love (it looks like this cover so order it too if you want another good dvd). I would recommend this for everyone. She is known for not injuring you during workout as she was injured when she first started doing yoga. Yes, it seems slow but believe me, your core body will be strengthened and stretched unbelievable well.

I have recently had cancer, so had to go through chemo, radiation, and surgery. So, I was weak and had no muscle tone or strength. I had this dvd on the shelf from years ago and started using it a section or two at a time and now I do the whole dvd as I am still not strong enough to handle the vigorous and harder practices I used to prior. But, I am building up strength in leaps and bounds and I owe much of that to this dvd. She continually tells you what you should be doing with each part of your body and your breathing.Can do a downward facing dog now without crying. But, I will get there.

just want to say thank you to Louise Solomon. I was introduced to this work out video by chance and its been so good to me and my body. This video will teach you how to breath in a way that you are working out your core. It shows you the right way to do palites and yoga the difference in each, and why they are so good for you. if you are a beginner in yogalites this video is for you. Ive moved on to Jonathan Urla's yogalites video #2 because its alil more intense. which i needed after a couple of years working out with Louise Solomon.. this is a great video if you are starting out with yogalites... good luck

This is the slowest and most boring "exercise" DVD ever! I went straight to workout 4 aka advanced student and I had to stop to write this review. I can't stand it. It's so boring, her voice is making me cringe and you can YouTube better workouts, for free! DO NOT BUY THIS. I guess I would recommend this for people who are truly starting out (never ever exercised, and I do mean ever) and even then I would feel like they're wasting their money.
