I ordered these DVDs after doing some of Hemalayaa's workouts shown on FitTV. The show times for the workouts on my cable provider were so sporadic that I decided to purchase the DVDs myself and give it a whirl. I was a little skeptical at first because I always buy fitness DVDs and then tend to get burned out on them. This one, however, with its three separate DVD workout routines doesn't get old. I use them about three times a week and rotate the DVDs. The nice thing about this product is that each DVD has the option to select individual workouts and mix them up, so you never get bored.
I love dancing (specifically Bollywood and bhangra dancing) as exercise because it combines cardio with toning, grace, and posture. The cool down sessions on these DVDs are like mini-yoga lessons that allow me to ease from workout back to my day smoothly. The only downside (and it doesn't even really apply to me) is that some of the dance moves can be hard on the knees and hips. Hemalayaa does, however, allow for different fitness levels by saying things like, "Do only what your body tells you to do." You can always modify the workouts to be comfortable for you.
All in all I highly recommend Hemalayaa's Bollywood Dance Workouts because the dances never get old, the cool down sessions are relaxing, and, most of all, the routines are fun! When I use these DVDs, I tend to even forget I'm working out.
