I "heard" about this workout in the forum
reading through old threads by people
looking for workouts to use with Karen
Voight's Green Genie balls or Leslie
Sansone's blue walking weights. While I
don't normally have an interest in yoga, I like
working with toning balls. Since Denise R.
has already provided a thorough review of
the workout with a good breakdown, I will
just give my impressions.
You don't need to be familiar with yoga
terms to follow along (which is good because
I am not). She doesn't mirror cue (which
would be a deal breaker for me if this was
cardio/choreo), but here I just always use
opposite of whatever she says in order to be
lined up with what she is doing on screen. Jolene has a lively personality, which is
evident despite the voiceover (this is the only
voiceover workout I have ever kept). The
production values (lighting & camera angles
& backdrop) are very well done. I don't know
that the workout would appeal to yoga
traditionalists or advanced exercisers, but as
a low intermediate exerciser just dabbling in
yoga postures, I found it very enjoyable. I
hope that Jolene will make more DVDs.
