Jillian Michaels: Yoga Inferno - DVD

If you're like me and get bored with the slower pace of most yoga classes I think you'll like Jillian's Inferno. While you do hold some of the poses, Jillian takes common yoga poses and moves you in and out of them to create a nice flow. She also combines yoga poses with common cardio moves, such as skaters in plank pose. The half hour is over before you know it!

I'm convinced that this is called yoga inferno because your muscles are on fire!! Do this workout under a sprinkler! You'll need something to put out the flames! Best workout DVD I own! I noticed an almost immediate increase in energy, stamina, muscle tone and strength. Thank you Jillian Michaels!!

I love yoga--a lot--but every time I go to put in a workout video I find myself consistently going for the intense cardio workouts instead because I'm always short on time and they feel more effective. Problem is that what yoga brings--broad range of movement, stability, flexibility, and focus--don't happen with straight cardio. Normally this means frustration as I either miss out on yoga or on calorie burn. Happily, though, I found Yoga Inferno while still a subscriber to GaiamTV (they changed platforms so it's inaccessible to me now :( ) and loved it from the start! Challenging in all the right ways, you'll really work hard but still recognize familiar yoga poses and get plenty of deep stretches in. Now that I got a copy for myself, I think I've got a new favorite!

Jillian is amazing, what can I say!  This Yoga DVD is challenging and totally kick butt cool!  You sweat, you burn, your heat rate is up and it's all in Classic Jillian style. I thought 5 lbs weights were for baby girls until I had to used them for the 2nd work out.   Love this DVD!

I love this new workout!!! I love Yoga Meltdown, but Inferno takes you to a whole new level. It's definitely not traditional yoga, but I love the challenge of this high intensity workout.

I am NOT a yoga fan, never have been. However, I am trying new things and hoping to get rid of my unintentional hatred of things that I once found to be "not my thing." So.... needless to say I was excited that Jillian was releasing a new yoga dvd. I had purchased "Yoga Meltdown" when it first came out and unfortunately I found it to be absolutely horrible! I tried to stick it out, but it just was awful. I own every single Jillian DVD and that was by far the worst. Sad to say, I actually trashed it. I am so confident in Jillian and the fact that she continues to make great dvd's and delivers results, no question there, as long as you stick with it. You can't expect miracles if you aren't committed. I got the DVD on Saturday in the mail and popped that sucker in last night to test out level 1. I was in fact PLEASANTLY SURPRISED!!! The dvd is good, you definitely get sweaty. She incorporates yoga moves with cardio intervals. Very fast paced, which I love! I generally get really bored of workouts that are more than 30-40 minutes. This workout flew by. It started and before I knew it, it was over. It was a great workout. Not as much stretching as traditional yoga, but that doesn't bother me at all. This is just the right yoga dvd for me! I plan to finish this up as suggested..... 5 days a week, 2 weeks on each level. I did not find the moves or transitions difficult to keep up with, but if you are a beginner to working out in general, I would suggest watching the workout a couple times before you jump right in. It's hard to stay in proper form when you are craning your neck to see what she is doing on the TV. So bottom line, go ahead and give it a try! Note: my HRM indicated I burned 130 calories doing this video. which is not bad (I'm 5'4.5" and 120 lbs.)

Tough love! A little too advanced for me but hope to accomplish this wonderful workout soon

That DVD is not a really yoga session but it's fun to do it like a workout with yoga positions. I am a French Canadien, my english is bad! Excuse me.

Too intense for me. I need yoga to be a stretching experience and relaxing.

I've been practicing yoga for 20 years and would consider myself an intermediate practitioner. This workout is not for beginners. The transitions are much too quick for people who don't know the poses and even I had to modify many of the "beginner" exercises. It's a good heart pounding workout but I would only recommend to intermediate to advanced practitioners.
