"This DVD offers a great versatile workout. It includes separate segments that fit your schedule for a particular day. You can do warmup alone, or add aerobic, toning with weights for upper/lower body, yoga style exercises or abs section. There's a segment for every body part. An added bonus is the beautiful music/Tabla that Ravi plays in the background, the beautiful surroundings, serene backdrop and inspirational beginning at the beginning of the DVD.

It is recommended prior to starting this workout that your body is warmed up and that the workout is started at a slow pace as you will be *sore* after the lower body workouts. You may want to cut down a few minutes and end early to allow yourself to resume the next day. Once you are very sore the tendency is to skip workouts altogether for a few days which would slow down the results. You have the DVD and you can always do it as often as you want so go slow and steady. Once you are accustomed, you will be less sore and able to complete and enjoy the workouts."

Just okay

"While this will give your booty and legs a workout, I was disappointed on two counts. One is the music -- there is no discernible melody, and the drums (?) are tediously repetitive. I need to be motivated by music when I workout, so I was dreading the idea of doing this workout again. I've decided to find a suitable music CD, and play it simultaneously with the silenced DVD. The other disappointment for me is the videographer's choice of focus. Many times he/she focuses on the face, chest, or upper arms of the instructor, when the action is all going on in the legs. It's extremely frustrating to try to follow along when I can't see the moves! I find this inexcusable in what is supposed to be an instructional video."

Great! Try it if you would like results!

"I used to take Yoga Booty Ballet in Los Angeles and loved it because I saw a difference! The classes were fun and dealt more with making the body lean and opposed to bulking up. I am no longer in Los Angeles and was so disappointed that I thought I would try the DVD. It is just like the class without the LA traffic! I LOVE this DVD and have been doing it 5 times a week and seeing a great difference in my body the way I want to. If you want long, lean, toned muscles use this DVD. Don't be fooled by the yoga or ballet moves thinking they are not effective. By far these exercises are the most effective I have ever done and very easy to do in your room. You don't have to run around the room knocking things over. Many of the exercises are small movements. I give this DVD an A+! Try it! You will LOVE it!"

Awesome for days I can't make it to the gym!

"I'm not one for reviews but I have to say YBB is a motivating at home work out on days I can't make it to the gym. I look forward to doing it and I don't feel I am getting any less of a work out than if I did my usual 1 1/2 hour at the gym. I really like the instructors they don't make me think loud hateful things at my television haha... Anyway, I got hooked on these when I was using netflix and will definitely be buying more of them. Like I said I don't feel its a frilly slacker video just to alleviate the guilt of not going to the gym I think it really compliments my muscle training, swimming and running... also it gives a great core work out... better than some machines. It leaves me feeling worked out but also energized and self-aware. I would recommend it to anyone."
