Combining hard- core yoga power poses with her dynamic training techniques, Jillian will get you real weight-loss results fast. YOGA MELTDOWN includes two complete 30-minute workouts that include a warm-up and cooldown. I will probably replace Level 1 with Level 2 anytime a Jillian Michaels mash up calls for it. That being said, I did get a mild workout from this level, with DOMS lasting a day. Maybe Level 1 of Yoga Meltdown works for someone else. JM Yoga Meltdown - Level 2 Review.

Product Description:
A unique fusion of traditional power yoga and hardcore body sculpting. Yoga purists beware — the poses may be familiar, but the goals, sequencing and “bad ass” attitude are pure Jillian Michaels. For example, Jillian knows that a classic yoga chair pose is similar to a squat.
So, she has you “rep it out” — 15 full-range-of-motion repetitions that end with an isometric hold. That technique is repeated throughout the entire workout. So, while there are lots of genuine yoga elements, Jillian's overall goal is muscle endurance (not “peaceful mind/body bliss”).
Yoga Meltdown Level 1

Finished Jillian Michael’s Yoga Meltdown today. It didn’t burn as much calories as Level 1. The moves were a little more complex and required more balance. The most difficult poses I encountered were the Crow and the Leg Extension big toe hold (with repetitions). Both require balance and focus. I managed to do the Crow but I kept falling and losing balance with doing the reps for the Leg Extension Big Toe Hold.

I’m ending my yoga workouts for this week and moving on to the more intense Banish Fat Boost Metabolism (Cardio) and No More Trouble Zones (Cardio and Body Sculpting) of Jillian Michaels this week. Not looking foward to it, since I’ve been doing powder puff workouts that burn way less calories.
