5.0 out of 5 stars [...], April 18, 2010

This review is from: Power PraiseMoves DVD (DVD)

I was very excited about this DVD when I heard about it. I love yoga, but had yet to find the perfect yoga DVD workout for me. Some workouts I've tried I haven't liked the instructor, others went too fast for me, assuming I knew what I was doing. But Power PraiseMoves is a yoga workout DVD I really like!

There are slower workouts for beginners and maybe people who are injured and need to move into the stretches slowly, then there is the power workout which is the stretches and positions in faster succession, and then the more ab-focused workout.

Be warned that this DVD isn't as stylized as some workout DVDs - there aren't a lot of fake smiles and girls with perfect bodies. The instructor is Laurette Willis, and she looks like any normal-looking (lol) woman, someone you can relate to. She is easy to follow and I loved that she gives you scripture verses to meditate on while doing the stretches. I'm always up for new opportunities to learn scripture!

I'm not really worried about the spiritual aspect of regular yoga for myself, but I did enjoy this alternative and will definitely be enjoying it in the future when I want to stretch and relax. I recommend the Power PraiseMoves DVD for anyone who enjoys a relaxing or challenging yoga workout and Christians who want something different from traditional yoga workouts. :-)

This review is from: Power PraiseMoves DVD (DVD)

I love the fact that this product is rooted in the Word. It is great to get the physical benefits of yoga without the spiritual background. However, to live up to the name "Power" Praise Moves there was way too much stopping during the routine. In order to get the same great workout that yoga offers, the movements should stay as continual as possible. I will still use this product on one of my "active rest days", but do wish it offered a little more sweat.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Workout DVD That Won't Sit On The Shelf, April 10, 2010

This review is from: Power PraiseMoves(TM) DVD (DVD)

I would like to extend a heartfelt "Thank you" to Laurette Willis for sending me a copy of "Power PraiseMoves" to review for her. I have always been grateful for this generosity, and I am trying to improve at being consistent in taking the time to thank these wonderfully giving individuals in a public forum. I really appreciate your time, effort and expense in making a reviewer copy available to me.

Originally, I was intrigued by the idea of a Christian alternative to yoga. I've never done yoga, but I've been looking for a low-impact workout that I could begin to get myself "in shape to get in shape." This DVD, "Power PraiseMoves" created and hosted by Laurette Willis is incredible. Not only is it low impact, it can be done by anyone regardless of the shape you're in. It's easy because you perform at your own fitness level. As you move, the narrator recites scripture for you to meditate on which helps to shape up the soul as well. Still, don't take my review as a replacement of obtaining a doctor's advice.

As you gain flexibility and strength, you will intensify the posture you perform. This will increase satisfaction with your workout. The DVD is broken into segments focusing on standing postures, sitting postures, abdominal postures and more. It contains a helpful booklet that has photographs of several of the postures for reference. And, there are more resources available at the Power PraiseMoves website. This is not a DVD that is going to accumulate a lot of dust on my shelf. I will definitely use this workout!
