Worth buying
Fantastic program of yogalates which I have used several times a week for the last 6 months. If you're looking to lose weight it's great to combine with a more strenuous exercise dvd to improve tone and flexibility as your weight decreases. Unfortunately my band did snap as it's not as strong as other pilates bands but I bought 3 different strength bands and have worked up to the hardest one so you can make the workout as difficult as you like. Would recommend buying alongside other workouts as it's hard not to get bored when you know the words inside out!

Excellent Teaching
Louise Solomon's Yogalates Energizer is by far the best home use exercise DVD i have bought. Her teaching methods make "Yogalates" highly enjoyable and extremely easy to follow. If like me you have tried all the exercise videos out there, and still managed to feel unsatified in some way with it- Solomon's DVD completely changes this! I have found myself doing it every day even!
Highly recommended for a beginner like myself, and possibly intermediate also.

Works!
I've been a fan of Louise Solomon since the very first Yogalates DVD, and always look forward to the new one at the end of the year! Like the previous DVDs, the workouts on this one are clear and well-paced, featuring both advanced postures together with more basic versions, all shot in a pleasantly neutral white studio with no music (until the cool-down at the end), only Louise Solomon's gentle, genial voice.

However, the most important thing about this DVD is that it really does work - as long, of course, as you stick to it. Louise Solomon recommends 3 times a week, but it is rare that I can manage more than 2. Still, even with 2 a week I have noticed a distinct difference in the muscle tone of my thighs, stomach and arms in particular; I even have those little split bulges (I'm sure there's a technical term for them!) at the top of my shoulders! I'm also far more flexible than I was before, despite having practised different forms of yoga on and off for many years. I was able this year to sit cross-legged and lean forwards to wash my hair in a bucket of water at Glastonbury! All in all, these differences make you keen to continue using the DVD and definitely put a nice spring in your step. But I must stress - as long as you stick to it!

This DVD can be attempted by beginners, more experienced students and those like me, who fall somewhere in between. The use of the resistance band also means that as you improve, or inevitably become used to (or a bit bored by!) the DVD, you can make the workout harder for yourself by increasing the resistance on the band, and presto! - the workouts get a whole new lease of life. Certainly one of the best yoga vids out there - unpatronising, unmarred by plinky-plonky music, and anything that can help you flatten your stomach merely by breathing in a particular way has got to be good value. Can't wait for December!

Yogalates Energizer
I am new to yoga and pilates but found this DVD easy to follow, very relaxing and it held my attention for the whole duration. The band is included too so you don't need to dash out to buy one. The best thing though is that this DVD works, I feel much more toned since following the DVD 2-3 times a week and have since ordered the previous DVD's by the same person.

Yogalates and Resistance Bands
I bought this item recently and have to say that it is gggggggreat. The workouts are easily explained, low impact and the resistance bands adjust the levels to work at.
