I ordered these DVDs after doing some of Hemalayaa's workouts shown on FitTV. The show times for the workouts on my cable provider were so sporadic that I decided to purchase the DVDs myself and give it a whirl. I was a little skeptical at first because I always buy fitness DVDs and then tend to get burned out on them. This one, however, with its three separate DVD workout routines doesn't get old. I use them about three times a week and rotate the DVDs. The nice thing about this product is that each DVD has the option to select individual workouts and mix them up, so you never get bored.

I love dancing (specifically Bollywood and bhangra dancing) as exercise because it combines cardio with toning, grace, and posture. The cool down sessions on these DVDs are like mini-yoga lessons that allow me to ease from workout back to my day smoothly. The only downside (and it doesn't even really apply to me) is that some of the dance moves can be hard on the knees and hips. Hemalayaa does, however, allow for different fitness levels by saying things like, "Do only what your body tells you to do." You can always modify the workouts to be comfortable for you.

All in all I highly recommend Hemalayaa's Bollywood Dance Workouts because the dances never get old, the cool down sessions are relaxing, and, most of all, the routines are fun! When I use these DVDs, I tend to even forget I'm working out.

I was a little apprehensive about getting three workout dvds I'd never tried before but I'm so glad I did. This is crazy fun. After finishing just one 15 minutes workout segment my legs were on fire, but I didn't care at all because I ended feeling exhilarated, excited, and enlivened after only 15 minutes! I'm not in the best of shape so it's certainly a push for me, but it was really enjoyable. I'm definitely going to have to invest in a better sports bra, though!

I got this video for my wife and she loves it. She even got me to try it a few times. It is a moderately intense workout however is still fun and upbeat.
I would recommend this to anyone how wants to get into shape or just tone up while having fun doing it.

I really enjoy this 3 amazing dvd... they make you happy and burn a lot of calories!! me and my mum really love Hemalaya

I love, love, love all three of these DVDs. It worked me a lot harder than I expected. I work these in with walking and jogging in my exercise routine and I still get soar after doing them. It works parts of my body that I wouldn't work out otherwise. Plus they're fun and up beat. My favorite is the basic dance workout one. I'll probably end up buying all Hemalayaa's DVDs at some point.

I love to do workout videos at home and I am always looking to add to my collection and have greater variety. Hemalayaa seems like she is trying to sell sex more than an actual work out. She gives the camera coy little looks and it kind of gives me the hee-be gee-be's. As far as it getting my heart pumping - just didn't cut it. I also very much dislike it when the directions are voiced over - instead of the people in the video doing the speaking. It makes it harder for me to feel connected.

I recommend this seller for shipping times. The delivery of the DVDs was prompt and the DVDs arrived in excellent condition.
The workouts are definitely unique and for a person who works out at home, it's good to have variety in an exercise routine. The workouts aren't filmed as professionally as other workouts I use but I really like the dance element of this workout. I'm not sure that I would use these exclusively, but I absolutely recommend them in addition to a more traditional workout routine.

I purchased this workout set of 3 DVDs because I had been so satisfied with their quality. I had tried 2 of the 3 DVDs by first renting them from Netflix prior to purchasing the package. I've enjoyed watching Bollywood films and thought the dancing looked fun. It really gives you quite a work out.

I have yet to tried the tape. But what I saw it appeared to be easy. I like the music and the fact that you do not have to be an expert in the dance to do it.
