What makes this DVD unique is the degree to which the student can individualize his or her experience

Champaign, IL (Vocus/PRWEB) December 16, 2010

Celebrities attain their sculpted physiques with help from elite trainers. Now anyone can train like a celebrity in their own living room with the industry’s best. Sought-after instructors Leslie Kaminoff, Erika Bloom, and Lashaun Dale have taken their years of experience and created customizable workout DVDs for yoga, Pilates, and total-body training.

Breath-Centered Yoga with Leslie Kaminoff
Yoga practitioners have praised Leslie Kaminoff’s Yoga Anatomy (Human Kinetics, 2007), and now he brings his expert instruction to DVD with Breath-Centered Yoga with Leslie Kaminoff (Human Kinetics, 2010). Kaminoff offers yoga routines that can be modified for any body type as well as individualized instruction explaining how to tailor routines and poses to meet varying fitness levels. “What makes this DVD unique is the degree to which the student can individualize his or her experience,” says Kaminoff. “We have four models in the DVD, and each of them is modifying the same sequence in ways that work for his or her unique body.”

Next-Level Pilates with Erika Bloom
Erika Bloom, owner of the renowned New York City Pilates studio, has taken her 20 years of Pilates experience and created Next-Level Pilates with Erika Bloom (Human Kinetics, 2010). The full-body, studio-quality workout uses targeted routines for the core, upper body, and lower body that can be completed with at-home equipment, including an exercise mat, ball, and band. Bloom includes nine 10-minute routines and a programming matrix for creating personalized workouts based on individual fitness goals, experience levels, or time constraints. “When you are in a Pilates studio using a reformer or a cadillac, you are getting all these great exercises, but you don’t have access to that at home,” Bloom explains. “Using small props allows you to do the same exercises that are normally performed on the Pilates apparatus.”

Total-Body Toning with Lashaun Dale
Fitness expert Lashaun Dale has created a series of interchangeable workouts for weight loss, improved cardio, and toned muscles in Total-Body Toning with Lashaun Dale (Human Kinetics, 2010). The DVD offers eight 10-minute routines that combine traditional and nontraditional resistance techniques using basic equipment, including free weights, balls, a step, and a mat. The customizable DVD allows viewers to combine these routines to create a progression and level of intensity appropriate for their fitness needs. “My DVD offers a strong workout that is meant to get people in shape,” Dale says. “It’s accessible to those new to fitness who don’t know how to do squats or need to improve their range of motion. At the same time, the combined workouts offer serious conditioning for those wanting to push themselves.”
