After using Suzanne's AM/PM Conditioning for Weight Loss everyday for two weeks, I felt like I needed a little bit more. Don't get me wrong, Suzanne's DVD along with my all-natural eating habits I was already getting awesome results, but I wanted something more challenging. Boy-oh-boy! The Strength section of this DVD is tons of fun and is a great workout for folks like me who are just getting into intermediate yoga. After my first run through this workout I could really, really feel it. I actually just got finished with both Strength/Relaxation sets and it's almost like the feeling of just getting back from an hour of doing weights -- except better! Tonight was the first time I've tried the Relaxation set and it was just that: relaxing. Rodney walks you through releasing the tension from all the areas you just worked out, or, if you're a desk-jockey like me, all the areas that have been strained or neglected throughout the work day. I'm definitely going to have to buy an actual blanket for this though, because the one I used doesn't seem to work (it is a thin blanket). I rated all fives because I can see myself watching this video every day (as I have been!) While I can't speak to the long-term effectiveness, judging by the way my body feels after these workouts, I know it's working. Lastly, as for level of difficulty, I feel it is appropriately suited for early intermediate yogis, though there's no reason everyone shouldn't use it. :) Rodney is such an enjoyable instructor. His voice is soothing and encouraging -- it feels like he's in the room with you, gently guiding you through all the poses. His imagery is easy to translate into body actions and his final words always make me feel like a part of something greater. Thanks again for another phenomenal product, Gaiam!

I do yoga 5 days a week, 30 minutes a day. I normally use the yoga for strength, stamina or flexibility dvds by Rodney Yee. I tried this to mix it up a bit. I didn't find it challenging, but it was a welcome change (the cross train segment). Although I was pleasantly surprised when I woke up the next morning and my abs were sore! So obviously it works! I will continue to use this dvd to switch things up when I get bored or feel my abs need a good workout!!

SO if your a little older (I'm 55) and you have had enough of workout videos with related accessories, instant drink hypes and before and after pictures then give these no baloney straight forward good feeling videos a try. SO refreshing!

I own many of Rodney Yee's DVDs and enjoy them all, but these two workouts have become my all time favorites. The Core Training section is superb and gives definite results. The Restorative section can be used at any time day or night and is a wonderful balance to a good workout or done by itself. This DVD is a definite must to any home practice.

My ab muscles definitely felt a work out after just a short time. Spoken and visual directions are fantastic. Very worthwhile.

Awesome yoga workout!

I really enjoy the 30 minute workout. It is an excellent core workout, while none of the exercises are extremely difficult. I think most anyone will be able to do all of them. The 30 minutes is long enough for a decent workout, but not too long that it is hard to fit into my schedule. I tried the restorative workout once, but was not nearly as impressed. I don't recall what I did not like specifically since I only tried it one time. However, it may be a good stretching/cool-down type of workout.

I've used this DVD a few times now, and I'm really enjoying it! I was having a hard time with the blanket, but I'm getting with the program now. These DVD s have helped me a lot...& I hope the folks at Gaiam tell Rodney Yee just how much he helps & inspires us out here!

Love Rodney Yee anyway but this video was so much more informative that other core workout, the routine is strenuous in a short amount of time. The restorative segment is good to use anytime.
