Sara Ivanhoe’s Yoga Body Makeover Series

By 

M. Sherwood “Spinning Queen” (San Francisco, CA) –

  

I love everything Sara Ivanhoe does. If you’re not familiar with her she’s very “normal” no talk of traveling to India, or how Yoga is her life. Her workouts would be comparable to Denise Austin, however I’m more partial to Sara’s personality.

I have been working out regularly for years, doing Yoga intermittently.
Typically I wouldn’t want a 20 minute Yoga class. I’ve always done classes that were a minimum of an hour. However it’s very easy to put a couple of the workouts together without too much repetition.

Each segment is pretty fast paced. The set is beautiful. It looks like they are on one of the beaches in Southern California, however they are in the grassy area but you still see the water in the background.

As with her other videos, Sara gives you good pointers without too much detail. None of the poses are too advanced, but there is enough variety that even an intermediate person wouldn’t be bored. You move very quickly from pose to pose. The point of these workouts is not to hold the poses but to keep moving to keep your heartrate up.

The workout with weights really isn’t going to tone the individual muscle groups unless you’re totally out of shape, but the weight gives you enough added resistance to feel like you’ve got a good workout after 20 minutes.

The bonus workout on the ball is fantastic. It’s much longer and is more of a full body workout. ( By the way, this is the same workouts that are sold individually or as a boxed set.. they are titled differently, and promoted for losing weight. The background on the box/covers is white. This is just a better deal because they are all combined here in one two DVD set at a lower price with the added bonus workout.)
