Certified instructor description: A solid program that includes lots of yoga instruction and back pain information within the workout. It’s a well-structured mix designed to prevent low back pain — both mentally and physically. There are no fast-paced or sudden movements. Instead, each pose is held for an extended period. It’s what happens within that extended period that makes this video unique. Desiree Rumbaugh explains how the pose strengthens and stretches specific muscles (e.g. “this lunge position will open tight hips”). She also discusses proper spine alignment, demonstrates optimum technique and even shows common errors (all while your body maintains the correct extended pose). Quiet music. ©2007. DVD has: Chapter menus, Music only option, Wide screen.

Yoga to the Rescue for Backpain

Not for beginners...!
My husband and I have been doing yoga for a couple of years now but we are still beginners. We are not new to yoga and both of us find this video a bit too hard for us yet. It is a tough video. For the Cons: We thought that Desiree Rumbaugh talked too fast. We were trying to listen, understand and copy what she was doing while checking ourselves and watching the video. Also, instead of before the pose showing hints or how to or not to do something, Desiree showed how you could do the pose wrong after the pose was done and then she went on to another pose. Show me before the pose starts how I might do the pose incorrectly please! And, as I wrote in the headline, it is not for old folks or beginners. This is for advanced beginners to intermediate younger people that are in good condition. Our knees are in bad shape and we spent so much time on our knees that they ended up really sore. The positive things about this video: The music was nice. I love what she chose to use for the video. Both my husband and I saw and heard tips to better the poses we have been doing all along. The exercises actually make the back feel better, but not the knees. If your knees are good you won't have any problems, but if your knees are bad I don't recommend this video. - posted by Sara on 9/28/2010
Reading a Time Graph
X
Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.

Chapter menus
X
You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).
Music only option
X
This feature allows you to play only the music, without any cuing (after you’ve learned the movements and you just want to do the workout without listening to the instruction).
Wide screen
X
The program fully fills a wide-screen television screen. Note: These videos will display black bars at the top and bottom on a traditional 4 x 3 ratio TV screen.
Level
X
Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Stretch type
X
Athletic: Traditional sports-style, all-physical stretches. It is the least mind-body focused.

Yoga: Carefully designed poses that emphasize breath, concentration and mental awareness. It also includes the more flowing yoga style – Power Yoga.

Tai Chi: All-standing, very fluid poses (it looks like a person moving in slow-motion). The Chinese called Tai Chi "meditation in motion."

Specialty: Back Pain
X
Workouts especially designed to prevent back pain (or to alleviate its symptoms if you already have it). These programs usually combine gentle stretches with simple back-strengthening exercises.
