Hemalayaa: Bollywood Dance Workouts

I have consistently done this for months. By dividing workouts in segments of it is easy to fit in short breaks

I ordered these DVDs after doing some of Hemalayaa's workouts shown on FitTV. The show times for the workouts on my cable provider were so sporadic that I decided to purchase the DVDs myself and give it a whirl. I was a little skeptical at first because I always buy fitness DVDs and then tend to get burned out on them. This one, however, with its three separate DVD workout routines doesn't get old. I use them about three times a week and rotate the DVDs. The nice thing about this product is that each DVD has the option to select individual workouts and mix them up, so you never get bored.I love dancing (specifically Bollywood and bhangra dancing) as exercise because it combines cardio with toning, grace, and posture. The cool down sessions on these DVDs are like mini-yoga lessons that allow me to ease from workout back to my day smoothly. The only downside (and it doesn't even really apply to me) is that some of the dance moves can be hard on the knees and hips. Hemalayaa does, however, allow for different fitness levels by saying things like, "Do only what your body tells you to do." You can always modify the workouts to be comfortable for you.All in all I highly recommend Hemalayaa's Bollywood Dance Workouts because the dances never get old, the cool down sessions are relaxing, and, most of all, the routines are fun! When I use these DVDs, I tend to even forget I'm working out.

I recommend this seller for shipping times. The delivery of the DVDs was prompt and the DVDs arrived in excellent condition.The workouts are definitely unique and for a person who works out at home, it's good to have variety in an exercise routine. The workouts aren't filmed as professionally as other workouts I use but I really like the dance element of this workout. I'm not sure that I would use these exclusively, but I absolutely recommend them in addition to a more traditional workout routine.

To me, this seemed like a traditional aerobic video except it adds some sexy hip and shoulder movements which require coordination, which apparently I don't have! Although many times I wasn't able to progress to the more difficult movements because of my lack of coordination, I kept doing the easier movements and did get a nice aerobic workout from it. Perhaps this is a video which gets more fun as you practice. I will try it again and update my review if I enjoy it more with practice. Of the three, I have only tried the dance workout video.

A fun alternative to other kinds of workout videos. I have been pleased with all of Hemalayaa's Bollywood videos, and I own them all now. I enjoy that her backup dancers show very levels of difficulty to the moves, and all the music is exciting and makes up want to move. This is an energetic medium to high impact workout, and I can feel it when I'm done. I was so pleased when I was finally able to get through all the segments on a DVD at one time. Take it at your own pace, and be careful with your joints, and this can be a fantastic fitness journey for mind and body.

I love watching Bollywood movies, and with this video I feel like I am participating in some of those awesome musical numbers! I find it a great stress reliever too because it is fun but also a great workout. I'm pretty fit but I have some minor back issues, so I can't do every move she does, but I just modify it to fit my needs. This is a nice collection too - lots of variety.

I love, love, love all three of these DVDs. It worked me a lot harder than I expected. I work these in with walking and jogging in my exercise routine and I still get soar after doing them. It works parts of my body that I wouldn't work out otherwise. Plus they're fun and up beat. My favorite is the basic dance workout one. I'll probably end up buying all Hemalayaa's DVDs at some point.

I love to do workout videos at home and I am always looking to add to my collection and have greater variety. Hemalayaa seems like she is trying to sell sex more than an actual work out. She gives the camera coy little looks and it kind of gives me the hee-be gee-be's. As far as it getting my heart pumping - just didn't cut it. I also very much dislike it when the directions are voiced over - instead of the people in the video doing the speaking. It makes it harder for me to feel connected.

I didn't like these dvds AT ALL!Bollywood?! More like HOLLYWOOD trying to do Bollywood!Hemalayaa is soooooooo lost in the world that is Hollywood that she needs to change her name to a common anglo one!Most of the time you're crouching/squatting. Then they might throw in a move that is done for just a few secs. before you return to squatting! It's very boring! And sounds/seems FAKE!!! Nothing like what I've watched in Hindi movies!!I don't recommend ANY of her stuff!! I was thoroughly disappointed with ALL three!!There is NO authenticity within her ethnicity!!
