Yamuna Body Rolling Yellow Ball Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am enjoying "body rolling" and I am able to see immediate benefits. I have even suprised myself at how I want to and look forward to "getting on the ball." My only criticism is the supporting DVDs. They lack quality and integrity. Here's my initial reaction when I watched the YBR Total Body Workout DVD and the Leg Routines DVD:
The videos lack quality:
1) The camera often focuses on the instructor's face instead of the action/exercise that's taking place.
2) On several occasions you cannot see the action that is being performed because another person is blocking the camera's view. This occurs because the person who is the immediate subject is not the closest to the camera.
3) You cannot see a particular movement because the camera is showing the back of the person as opposed to the front where the action/movement with the ball is taking place.
4) Each routine begins with a pre-instruction. During the pre-instruction Yamuna takes the ball and explains what will happen as she rolls it up/down the front/side/back of the participant. You can't skip over the pre-instruction without pressing your own DVD's fast forward button.
5) At times the instructor mentions that a move can be modified, but the modification isn't shown.
6) Although the video may follow an actual class format, this type of format does not lend itself to home viewing/usage, e.g., in one of the videos the class is instructed to get up and walk around to see how they feel. Additionally, a "one-to-one" format (instructor and one person) as opposed to a "class" format (instructor to 6- 8 people) would have been better suited especially since all participants in the video don't come across as equal practioners; further you don't need to watch the others - they translate into "noise."
The videos lack integrity:
1) The Leg Routines DVD is just a rehash of the leg routines in the Total Body Workout DVD.
2) The Leg Routines DVD is not a 40 minute workout. It may be 40 minutes in length, but it does not equate to 40 minutes of movement.
3) The background in both DVDs lack visual interest and stimulation. To be perfectly honest, they look like videos made by amateurs and not a professional company.
The Bottom Line:
Get the book, get the ball, get the pump! But, if you must purchase a DVD, make it the Total Body Workout DVD. It'll be enough here to satisfy the visual learner and introduce you to the body rolling techniques for the various body parts, but again don't expect a continuous routine/work out.
My rating:
I rated this item a 4 instead of a 5 because of the weakness in the DVDs. For a 5 rating, everything would have had to been excellent -- the book, the DVD, and the ball. Unfortunately, the DVD (sub par content, execution, and integrity) prevents a "5".
