Living Arts: The All Day Yoga Workout review (1st anniversary – special review)
introduction For about six months, I was looking for another Gaiam yoga DVD that will work in my DVD player. At first, I passed on this DVD when I wanted to buy this from another Goodwill store in Texas, but I noticed that the company was first called Living Arts in the late 90s and then used both the Gaiam and Living Arts branding in …
Yoga Booty Ballet Review: Part 3
Hello, dear reader! As promised, here is my third review in the Yoga Booty Ballet series. Today I will look into the Light & Easy and Latin Flavor workouts and give my own thoughts about them. Latin Flavor – First of all, I’m a bit skeptical about the title for this workout, because this might be the worst one out of the YBB Live DVDs …
Yoga Booty Ballet Review: Part 2
To begin my second review in the YBB series, all of the workouts in Yoga Booty Ballet Live are filmed with real students of all ages, fitness levels and body types from Swerve, located in Los Angeles. Many of the YBB classes led by Gillian and Teigh were taught here before it started to become popular with celebrities and citizens across America. Eventually, the program …
Yoga Booty Ballet Review: Part 1
In the early days of my fitness journey, I can recall some of the first Beachbody programs that I have seen advertisements for online: Body Gospel (a cheesy sounding faith-based home workout program), Slim in 6 (which I have seen people uploading the VHS versions on YouTube), and most importantly, Yoga Booty Ballet. I can recall watching the infomercial for this program and a few …
Rodney Yee’s Yoga for Beginners (Gaiam) review
Year: 2008 Distributor: Gaiam Instructor(s): Rodney Yee and Colleen Saidman In July, I started asking people if they wanted to lend over their fitness DVDs, and that led me to own more used discs for the collection. I was exposed to many Gaiam DVDs when shopping at Half Price Books locations and various thrift stores, and the brand is still around today. As of now, …
The Method: Pilates Target Specifics Review
Ever since I purchased The Method: Pilates All in One Workout in 2022, it led to the discovery of some existing Method workout videos/DVDs online, specifically on YouTube. A person decided to upload a Method video (shown below), but it was coming directly from the Method television series. The video was simply called “Precision Toning,” but it was not the original 1996 VHS of the …
Yoga Booty Ballet: Fanmade Calendar
This will be a short post for today. I am almost finished with Beachbody’s Power 90 (P90) and I am going to make the comparison review of this program with Debbie Siebers’ Slim in 6. In the meantime, I have created a fanmade Yoga Booty Ballet calendar. The only calendar for this program that I found online is for Yoga Booty Ballet Live (Ab and …
Comparison Review: On the Ball Series
Since the pandemic in 2020, I had owned a stability ball for my at-home office and when I went to middle school in-person in 2021, the ball remained untouched for more than two years. After searching on eBay for Natural Journeys titles that I liked, there was a stability ball workout called On the Ball: Yoga Workout for Beginners at a local Half Price Books …
Yoga Booty Ballet Review: In the Beginning
When searching for home workouts online, I came across an infomercial for Yoga Booty Ballet, which was an old Beachbody program that was really unique. The same thing went for the Slim in 6 program, but I only saw the VHS versions. In the spring of 2023, I was intrigued to get the YBB program on DVD along with a spin-off series called Yoga Booty …
