(More customer reviews)Just like Ellen Barrett's other two Buff Girl releases, this is a barefoot mat workout that lasts approximately forty-five minutes and will give you a thorough workout for your time spent. The video is shot inside The Studio, Ellen's workout space, which means the background is fairly boring. The moves are demonstrated by Ellen and two assistants, one of whom demonstrates modifications of the moves.
I particularly like Ellen Barrett as an instructor, and own almost all of her videos. Her cueing is excellent and easy to follow, she has a pleasant and calm voice, and she gives you encouragement and motivation to keep going when the going gets tough. She also has the type of lean, dancer-like (very feminine) body that I am working toward rather than a chiseled or muscular body like many other fitness instructors.
As you can probably tell from the title, this particular workout is more yoga oriented than her other Buff Girl Fitness videos (which involve more pilates), and includes poses that should be familiar to anyone with even the most basic yoga background: downward facing dog, Warrior I and II, etc. Some knowledge of basic yoga positions would be helpful when trying this video, but is not required in order to follow the exercises and get a good workout. The poses here are relatively simple to follow, and even people who are inflexible and/or out of shape (like me) should be able to follow along. One caveat: There were more inverted poses in this workout than what I am generally used to doing, which left me a little light-headed afterwards.
The workout itself is not simply a yoga workout either, but incorporates stretching, toning, pilates posture and an emphasis on flexibility. The exercises, including the yoga poses, include unique twists by the instructor to make them more effective and interesting. The first thirty minutes of exercise are standing, and the last fifteen are spent on the floor. In particular, this workout is geared toward toning and strengthening the female trouble areas of the abs, thighs, and hips.
In short, I can't say enough good things about Ellen Barrett. As an advanced beginner/intermediate exerciser, I recommend this workout highly to any level of exerciser, and believe you will find it to be both challenging and invigorating, no matter what your fitness level. I have been using this video in conjunction with her other two Buff Girl Fitness videos Fat Burning Fusion and Slim Sculpt on a rotating schedule for a well-balanced training series.
