Yoga Weight-Loss Workout for Dummies

While familiar and easy-to-follow …for Dummies “tips,” “warnings,” “reminders,” and “jargon alerts” flash onscreen here, amiable fitness instructor Chris Freytag guides viewers through a series of traditional asanas, all performed at a calorie-burning pace in Yoga Weight-Loss Workout for Dummies. The hybrid routine here blends a 20-minute standing pose segment with a 15-minute floor mat regimen, employing poses such as downward facing dog, the cobra, the chair, and numerous warrior postures to create a “heat-building” workout geared towards building strength and flexibility, while also shedding pounds. Freytag reminds viewers to focus on what the body is feeling and what the breath is doing, offering a selection of modifications for either a basic or a more challenging workout. Recommended. Aud: P.
