DVD Review
Creator of the bestselling Bollywood Dance Workout turns up the heat!
Spice up your workout and boogie to the bhangra beat. Inspired by the sassy, sexy moves seen in hit Indian films, this isn?t the same old boring exercise routine. It's playful, seductive, and leaves you feeling high on life. Think of it as yoga with a triple-espresso twist or a double-chai high.
Fitness star and yogini Hemalayaa leads you through three 15-minute programs, from low to high impact. The first gets you in the groove, the second ups the cardio to optimum fat-burning range, and the third has you shimmying and bopping like a Bollywood film beauty. As you dance, you?ll lose weight; tone your core, hips, and thighs; and kiss stress good-bye. So liven up, let loose, and laugh like Hemalayaa does. It's that much fun!

so much fun and great cardio too - Rating: 5/5
This DVD is so much fun and also the great thing about it is that it's divided into three 15 minute workouts. Each one is complete in itself, but you can also do all three together if you want. It gets your heart rate up, but in such a fun dancing way. You do have to be able to follow along well, though...you need to be a pretty good learner to watch their feet and keep up. Also, there is jumping involved, so for someone who has knee problems, it might bother you. Otherwise, you won't regret buying this!
GREAT WORKOUT! - Rating: 5/5
I love this DVD. Was sweating after the first workout and still had to sit most of it out. Great bollywood style. I would recommend it to anyone trying to lose weight and tone. If you go to the gym constantly, you might not notice a difference but if you are new to regular excersise, this is tons of fun.
Fun, but not for the faint of heart - Rating: 4/5
I bought this after buying Hemalayaa's Bollywood Dance Workout. I'll freely admit I am way, WAY out of shape and am just re-starting an exercise program. I prefer to alternate my workout videos because doing the same one over and over and over gets boring to me, and when I'm bored, forget the workout. Yesterday was Dance Workout day. I got in just over 10 minutes (like I said...WAY out of shape). Today was Bollywood Burn day. 6 minutes, 42 seconds, and I was done. As other reviewers have noted, this workout could be called "Thighs of Steel." Much more physically intense than Dance Workout. And it's a small thing, but I prefer the set of Dance Workout better. It's much more colorful, and I feel like I'm in somebody's living room with lots of Indian decor. Bollywood Burn is just set on a very bland, monochromatic stage, so I feel like I'm in a gym. Ugh. On the whole, though, I recommend this. Not much visual appeal set-wise, but fun music, relatively uncomplicated moves that can be adjusted for various physical needs (bad knees, etc), and good voiceover.
Awesome Addition To Your Collection - Rating: 5/5
I love all of these workouts. Hemalayaa is upbeat, beautiful and a great instructor. The music is fun and authentic and the setting is luxe and very appealing. It is so much fun that you don't notice how hard your body is working. It is a real workout that will get results. I love all the dvd's and mixing them up!
Low impact and different - Rating: 3/5
This workout video is totally different than anything I have done before. It is great if you want to try something different or if you are getting bored with the same workout routines. I have only tried the first segment and didn't find it all that challenging. I am not exactly a workout buff, actually I am quite the opposite. This video is great for a beginner working out or perhaps like a said someone who is bored with just the same moves. I think the direction given is good and the moves are fun to do.
