Description: Creator of the bestselling Bollywood Dance Workout turns up the heat!
Spice up your workout and boogie to the bhangra beat. Inspired by the sassy, sexy moves seen in hit Indian films, this isn't the same old boring exercise routine. It's playful, seductive, and leaves you feeling high on life. Think of it as yoga with a triple-espresso twist or a double-chai high.
Fitness star and yogini Hemalayaa leads you through three 15-minute programs, from low to high impact. The first gets you in the groove, the second ups the cardio to optimum fat-burning range, and the third has you shimmying and bopping like a Bollywood film beauty. As you dance, you'll lose weight; tone your core, hips, and thighs; and kiss stress good-bye. So liven up, let loose, and laugh like Hemalayaa does. It's that much fun!
FEATURES INCLUDE Audio options (music and instruction or music only) Freestyle dance performance
What a waste of money! I have seldom felt that I wasted my money so badly. I expected real Bollywood music, steps... you know an Indian routine which will make me feel like dancing and working out to some of the great Bollywood movie songs. Instead, there comes Hemalayaa, a beautiful woman, very fit, but which lacks the grace of a real Indian dancer and all you do I guess is ordinary aerobics with some type of weird techno wannabe Indian music. Please... do yourself a favor, if you are looking for a Bollywood workout thinking you will be dancing like Karina Kapoor or Kajol... THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU WANT. Go get Bollyrobics with Julia Casper. She is what you want.
Fun but pacing needs work This is a fun video, but it moves very fast and doesn't give you enough time to learn some of the moves. I also had a problem with the pacing -- in the middle of an intense, high-impact cardio workout you suddenly stop and do yoga, then you suddenly start dancing again. I would prefer the workout more thoughfully designed, building up to the more difficult stuff, and having the yoga be a separate workout. There is a LOT of jumping involved, which is really bad for your knees. There should be alternate moves for people who prefer not to jump. Also, the instructions are good but could use a little more attention to detail -- for example, if you are bending forward and can't see the screen, there should be a little more instruction so you know to get up and start moving again. Finally, the outfits are fun (though hardly workout clothes) but I was a little confused at all the zooming in on the butt... this is an exercise video, people, not a music video.
fun workout Tons of fun and the time flies. I have only been doing it for about 2 weeks and already see and feel a difference in my body. Definitely a good thigh work out!
feel the burn I haven't had the chance to use this video entirely as I live in an upstairs apt. There is alot of jumping involved. It was a fun fast-paced workout. I was sore after just one 15 min session. So far it's been really easy to follow along with the routines.
Great workout - lots of FUN!!! Wow - this one's a keeper! When I do cardio, I prefer a higher impact workout, and this fits the bill. I did all three of the segments at once and really felt like I got a great workout, and it was so much fun! The moves aren't so complicated that you couldn't get them down after one or two tries - I'm not even that coordinated, and I was able to keep up with almost all of the moves my first time through.
The only downside is that since the workout is broken down into three 15 minute segments, you get a warm-up and cool-down with each, so it cuts down on the length of the cardio, but it's such a fun workout that I don't mind. I will definitely use this one over and over!
