Fat Smash Diet

Love this whole series (2008-12-05)
The first time I put in this video I was a little concerned that I wouldn't be able to learn the poses, but after the second time I was surprised how much better I was.

I almost have all the quick fix DVDs and each one is fantastic. With 2 young kids and a business out of my home, I don't have a lot of time to spare and the quick fix videos give a good energizing workout in a small amount of time.

This is not a relaxing yoga dvd. It's vigorous enough that you build a good sweat (I always have to turn down the heat and open a window), but if you are a bit flexibility challenged (like me) then you can follow the modified version and Joy gives good hints throughout. Easy to follow her through the DVD and once you get the hang of the poses, you can just listen for joys audio cues and not look at the screen.

I always feel very energized after this workout and highly recommend the quick fix series for those people that want a good quality workout in 3 10 minute segments. Sometimes I do one 10 minute segment, tend to the kids and then go back for the other two.

The vinyasas are basic, but easy to memorize and modify in length and intensity, then take anywhere to do on the go. I've been doing the standing routine for about 3 years now, and have mixed it up by adding new poses and mixing it with other vinyasas. Each workout is only 10 minutes, but again, once you've memorized them, you can stretch it out as long as you want.

This is a great power yoga for beginners. The first routine on the DVD will give you some great basic pointers. It *is* quick, so if you're really new to yoga, you will want to supplement it by reading about each pose (or taking a class), so you can put yourself the poses correctly.

Moves Fast - Not for the Yoga Novice or the Cardio Light Weight! (2006-03-01)
I consider myself a moderately advanced cardio exerciser, and I do practice yoga (particularly power yoga) regularly, and I was really working to keep up with this work out! Joy moves very quickly, and although she gives some reminders on form and position, one must have familiarity with yoga poses in order to attempt to keep up. This is definitely fast-flowing yoga - no pose is held for more than a couple of seconds, and you will be working to keep your breath even. If you are looking for a relaxing, mostly stretching yoga practice, this one isn't for you! If you want to get moving and wake yourself up, then you'll love it! If you do all three sections, you will definitely get a moderate cardio workout. Although I wasn't crazy about this workout (I much prefer Bryan Kest, particularly his Power series), I will keep it. It will be terrific when I am short on time but want to get the breath flowing and the blood pumping!

best "short" power yoga dvd available (2005-11-06)
I have been practicing yoga steadily for slightly over a year. Monday through Friday I have no more than 40 minutes typically available to exericse. Until I began to use this dvd I was not able to find a power yoga dvd that allowed me to go through a challenging series of sun sals, standing/twisting poses, and core work in the limited time I had available. QF power yoga is therefore a most welcome addition to my collection because it does offer in 30 minutes exactly what I needed. The instructor, Joy Kilpatrick, provides precise directions needed to flow through the range of poses in this short practice. As always, it is helpful to watch the dvd at least once before using it.When the the three cleansing breaths that finish the dvd are completed, I feel entirely relaxed in the way that is realized by vigorous flow work. Though not mentioned in the dvd, I naturally go into a five or so minute final resting pose after the dvd is completed, and, in 35-40 minutes, have done my practice for the day. My wife reports that the ten minute segments are also useful as adjuncts to other forms of exercise. For example, she uses the core segment to finish strenth training.

this is a tough yoga workout - not like I normally do - much more aerobic than relaxing
