From a fellow FitFluential Ambassador comes Xen Strength Yoga…released today!
Y’all know I love yoga and now there’s a new twist on it…Vinyasa Yoga using light weights during it.
In the beginning the DVD suggests starting out and going through the workouts sans the weights.
I being me stubborn determined went with the 5 lb weights anyhow (yes do as I say not as I do around here!).
I can tell you that I felt it when all was said and done!
The workout gets progressively harder and you will break a sweat.
At first I was concerned about how the weights were going to be used and throwing off my balance, etc. but surprisingly it went smoothly and I actually felt sore afterwards.
There are three 20 minute workouts on the DVD.
This is totally functional fitness and strengthening, and a total body workout…really.
It works your core too…strengthening it and we all know we need a strong core, right?
You can do one, two or all three of the 20 minute workouts depending on your schedule.
They’re all wonderful and you will see results if you do Xen Strength Yoga regularly.
The Xen Strength DVD is a different format than most and I love it.
It’s done black and white and it’s cool (to me anyhow…of course I’m a simplistic person but it’s neat (did I really use that word) looking.
Why Xen Strength Yoga is DIFFERENT than any yoga you’ve done before?
The program offers a UNIQUE approach to traditional yoga by combining a creative flow with light weights. This fusion provides a transformational workout designed to sculpt, lengthen, and challenge every major muscle group. Xen Strength BUILDS MUSCLE, increases FLEXIBILITY, and boosts BODY CONFIDENCE by taking your body further, faster-no matter what your fitness level.
This awesome workout is being released today, December 14, 2011

Why is Xen Strength Ideal for mixing up your workouts?
Xen Strength combines yoga with strength training
You will get more flexible while building muscle

You will save time with poses that work both upper and lower body
I like the end…

I love yoga dvds but feel they are often too relaxing for me, I love using weights to wake myself up

I should win the Xen Strength Yoga DVD because I have not practiced yoga for many months now, and I really need to get back into it again. I’m also trying to lose the weight that I gained when I quit smoking over 4 years ago (I was up to 171 lbs, and I’m now down to 161 lbs. My goal weight is 135 lbs).

I learned that “Xen Strength boosts body confidence and brings you to your edge using four elements essential to any fitness program- flexibility, strength training, functional fitness, and intervals”

I would love to win a Xen Strength Yoga DVD! I am a runner so I need to constantly remind myself to cross train and strength train. I do not belong to a gym so working out at home, especially trying to incorporate strength training, in a fun, new way, is so important to me. I love this combination of yoga, cardio, and strength training, and I would love to work out with this DVD!
