 Strong in Mind, Strong in Body December 1, 2008
Michael R. Nichols (Fort Worth, TX USA)
Hemalayaa and Bollywood is a new concept for me. I recently purchased "Beautiful Belly" with Hemalayaa and will never use another work out video instructor. She is fun with a great attitude. The video has three different 12 minute workouts and a five minute warm up to keep boredom at bay. I started out doing the warm up, plus one of the three circuits. I am now able to do the full workout and my abs have never felt stronger!
Some of the dance moves require a lot of hopping and twisting so make sure your lower body joints are warmed up! If you are a klutz (like I can be) and the moves get too complicated, try doing jumping jacks or shimmying to keep the heartrate up. The idea is to mix cardio moves intermittenly with more specific ab work. You might want to research some very basic bellydance moves before starting because she may use words you are not familiar with. However, you can always just copy her movements.
IMPORTANT: This woman is obviously highly trained and very flexible. DO NOT attempt to make your moves look like hers unless you're very advanced. Most people will not form the perfect "Cobra" or "Downward Dog" the first time they try. She should talk more about your ability level, but since she doesn't, just keep it in mind!
This video is fun and addictive. The music is great and the set design is pleasing to the eye. I want to go out and buy a coin belt to start bellydancing now!
Wonderful!! November 25, 2008

I LOVE Hemalayaa's dvds. I have been a fan of hers for quite some time, and though I try other dvds I still come back to hers time after time. Her dvds are effective, fun, and put a smile on my face. Every part of your body gets worked out, I always work up a sweat, and I always have fun. I have finally started to see some progress in my weight loss goals by using her Beautiful Belly dvd along with her first Bollywood dance dvd. I can't wait to try the other ones.
Great workout! November 24, 2008

This DVD is really fun and a great ab workout. I love the music, the set, and the moves. Hemalayaa is a great instructor with a lot of positive energy -- this DVD is a great addition to any home gym library.
Great workout that's also fun! July 14, 2008

This is my favorite Hemalayaa DVD so far! I've been using it for nearly 2 weeks now, and my belly really is getting more beautiful-- by which I mean flatter and more taut. The workouts are fun and energizing, and you just can't help laughing along with Hemalayaa.

I bought this dvd because everyone said how great Hemalayaa is. She is suppose to be a yogini that incorporates Bollywood flair into her workouts. I didn't like this video at all. I've been doing yoga for years--several times a week. I take class with instructors, do my own practice, and have several dvds that I enjoy. Halfway through this workout, I had had enough. She's all over the place. She provides poor instruction. There's a pilates section that is poorly done. She constantly has you switching direction so your belly never gets the benefit of the exercise. You're so busy trying to keep up with her changes that the workout isn't fun and not very beneficial. If you want an amazing yoga workout, try one of Ana Brett and Ravi Singh's dvds. If you're looking for more of an aerobic/dance workout, try something else.
