Wimps Series:Yoga for Wimps

Rating:
Summary: This is for absolute beginners only
Review: My wife, who is experienced in yoga, wanted to introduce me to yoga poses and routines. Since I've never done yoga before, she decided to get me started with Yoga For Wimps. The DVD, overall, is well done. The directions are clear, and the poses are easy for beginners. The best feature for most people will likely be that each pose has an easier, modified form using support objects like chairs, pillows, and towels. This really can be done by anyone of nearly any fitness level (or lack thereof). However, while I'm not exactly a fine speciment of fitness, I found that even the unmodified poses, for the most part, were easily performed. When combined together into the 25 minute workout included in the DVD, the poses and the workout are completed easily. After only two workouts, I feel as though this DVD is far too 'beginner' for me, and I'm ready to try something more advanced. However, anyone who has not exercised in a long time might find the challenge level of Yoga For Wimps suits them just fine. My wife's one complaint is that this DVD does not cover any of the meditative aspects of yoga, so those looking for a more spiritual approach should look elsewhere.
