I have Ultimate and love it, I do agree 30 minute mark can be the part where it goes down a bit. I do know my cardio capacity and strength have increased. I can't say my flexiblity has because it also has with Jill Miller and Kurt Johnsen's workouts, as well as Eoin's. I also think a lot of the breathing exercises are to calm anxiety down in Travis's program versus just increasing lung capacity. He has a lot of talk about anxiety and depression on his website so I really feel that's one of his goals with the breathing exercises.
I looked at DDP and I honestly don't think I could even come close to relaxing with that guy as the instructor. It might be a great workout, I dunno, but from what I could ascertain it's just about the physical asanas (which I think is what you are looking for) and nothing about the mind-body connection or meditation. He seems a little too intense for me in personality.

I tried UY and it was too hard for me.I do have alot of joint and muscle issues as I have chronic lyme,but I did like Travis and will get his more beginning set when it comes out.The ddp yoga looked too me like it had more modifications but if your advanced you'll prob like Travis overall.Just my opinion.

Has anyone done DDP Yoga? I haven't noticed anyone in the other thread (the "never give up" thread) saying they have done it either. I am curious as it claims to be tough and restorative, but not curious enough to be the first lab mouse .

I only have UY for comparison. The flow of UY is terrific as is the program as a whole. You will get a terrific cardio challenge from the cardio DVD, and each workout has a specific focus/goal with CrossTrain being a little bit of everything.
DDP scares me. If he's teaching the yoga, it's not a practice I'm interested in. So with only seeing the clip/ad it would be an easy choice for me. Travis has style, professionalism, good production quality, beautiful music, and the practice is like non other. Hands down a favorite of mine, obviously. I don't love cardio workouts in general, so the cardio workout is challenging for me, but your endurance improves each time you do this workout. I wish there were more cardio-yoga focused workouts like this (and hope Travis will do more!) Pam

You will have no trouble keeping your strength with all the UY pushups!
But, strength means different things to different people. When I lift weights, I do tend to look more bulky. Some short sleeve tops can be a bit tight, and on occasion I can't zip up my boots, if I'm doing too much leg work, so gotta watch that. Yoga has slimming benefits, if you're doing daily hour long power yoga, that is challenging. I like for my back and shoulder muscles to be a little more developed/toned, so I still will add weights for those areas. Pam
