This workout is on the same DVD as Core Strength & Abdominals, but I haven't done that set yet. I wanted to get this down while it was fresh in my mind.

It begins with about 3 min. of "intention" setting. The weights section starts off quickly. I'm no novice exerciser, and I consider myself intermediate to advanced, but I found this workout quite challenging! I expected it to be relatively light like a lot of YBBs are. This section is about 25 min. of compound movements incorporating upper and lower body. Earlier reviewers gave good descriptions - biceps curls, shoulder raises, tricep extensions, etc. with plies, lunges, squats, etc. I started with 5 lb. weights, but dropped down to 3 lb. weights a little over halfway through. It's more intense on the upper body, but my quads and glutes were feelin' it! High reps. It has a good cardio aspect too. My heart rate was in the 75% range, pushing 80% at times, and I worked up a nice sweat.

That section is followed by a surprisingly challenging yoga session, about 25 min. in length. It begins with some kundalini warm ups like breath of fire with arms at 60 degrees, twisting and cat/cow. After that it's traditional type yoga. The poses aren't held that long, and many of them are dynamic, i.e., moving with the breath from side angle to warrior two and back, stretching from side to side, sun salutations, etc.

The session ends with a short section of mantras done in easy pose.

All in all a well-rounded, different sculpting workout with the added benefits of light cardio and yoga. A good way to get a lot covered in one workout.

Instructor Comments:
I like these two! They are two upbeat and funky chicks! As somoeone else noted, they tend to cue on the fly, but I quickly adjusted.
