5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Video, January 21, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Mark Blanchard's The Power Within: Ultimate Power Yoga [VHS] (VHS Tape)

After working out with many different types of workout videos, I find "The Power Within" to be the best. It gives me the most incredible workout, I am dripping with sweat within the first twenty minutes. After a few sessions, you don't notice Mark Blanchard's voice. What you will notice is the change in your body. My entire body toned up in less than two months. I never got results like this when I was doing weights. It's also a great cardiovascualr workout. On top of all these benefits, you get a wonderful feeling of calmness of the end of every session. I very highly recommend this video.

5.0 out of 5 stars very difficult, very good, January 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Mark Blanchard's The Power Within: Ultimate Power Yoga [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I just received this video today and watched the whole thing. Just watching it made me tired. I did not think Mark's voice was really that bad at all. He just seems to get into the motivational mood, and his voice gets kind of soft to try to be inspiring, but it's not bad. Remember, he has to talk while doing the poses and walking around to check other people's poses. The video is 90 minutes and includes almost every yoga pose I have seen in all other videos. It has lots and lots of sun salutations, and even a long floor session with the pretezel type poses you dont see in many videos. I can definitely see how this will be a video that will last a long time, because it will take a long time to build up the stamina and strength to do all 90 minutes. By the end of the tape, Mark's shirt is totally soaked and stuck to his body. I actually liked the fact that some of the students were not advanced. It encouraged me, because I felt like I was among people of my own ability. Don't worry, there are still advanced people in the class, so it is not all beginners. It is nice to see students of all levels. There are a lot of students in his class, more than I've seen on any other yoga video. I think it adds variety to the scene; you are not just focusing on 3 people the whole time. Most of the tape is shot inside his studio, which is large to accomodate the large class. When he does a very challenging pose, the scene changes to just Mark and two advanced students in an outdoor setting. This scene change is good for making sure you are doing the pose right, as most of the students probably cannot do it correctly. If you are looking for a very challenging yoga workout, I would recommend this tape.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Only Workout You Need, January 23, 2000

What other type of workout video do you need if you own "The Power Within"? I grew tired of aerobics and step workouts. With this video, there is no need to jump about to get the cardiovascular benefits. As a yoga beginner, I did find the workout VERY challenging, but that is what an exercise video should be, so you never outgrow it. A beautiful sense of calm follows every session, and Mark Blanchard reminds you throughout the video that it is not about competing or completng poses, but it is about challenging yourself every time and reaching a new plateau. I will NEVER go back to aerobics!
