    I also love this DVD. I'm kind of a Jillian Michaels addict. I really felt it in my arms and back.

    I'm fitting Yoga Meltdown in with my 30DS.

    Would it be a good video for someone who has never done yoga before?

    ^^This. I'm obsessed with Jillian Michaels even though I'm pretty sure she has it out for me! :laugh:

    I really like Yoga Meltdown but I loaned it to a friend; I asked for it back, but she's still looking for it. :frown:

    Yes, this is a real workout for me too! I could feel it in my shoulders and upper back the next day. I find the side planks (I think that's what they're called) to be a real challenge. I can definitely tell that my left arm is stronger than my right when I do this move. Doing my meltdown later today after laundry. Maybe follow it up with a shred tonight!

    You don't need to know yoga to do this video. She uses yoga poses but only as a means of body weight training. It is a great workout. Very challenging with no impact. I use it in between running days when I'm training for a 1/2 marathon and running 4 times a week and want to give my legs a break.

    Yeah, I discovered that after I made my post. Then I saw a workout on the side bar called "Buns of Envy" and that got my attention. I have a horribly flat butt, so I think I'll give that a try!

    I'm thinking of starting this. I was doing 30 day shred - loved level 1 but found level 2 too tough. My arms were just too weak for all the plank based moves and I ended up injuring myself. Thought this could be a good alternative.

    I bought this dvd a while ago, then hurt the muscles in my back doing something from either 30ds, biggest loser, or something else. I may give this a try tomorrow since it is supposed to rain.

    Another question is, how do you log it? Yoga, circuit, cardio?

    Yoga Meltdown Is awesome! Definitely feel it in the arms/back more. A lot of her stuff is very leg-heavy imo. I have started to add this in every few days to my workouts

    I'm not sure it matters. I joined jillianmichaels.com for the free 7 day period, and according to the calorie calculator on that site, I burn as many calories doing Yoga Meltdown Level 1 for 30 minutes as I do doing 30 Day Shred for 30 minutes or doing 30 minutes on a stationary bike at a moderate pace. I was going to go through all the videos and then steal the numbers to add them to my exercises...but I forgot and now my trial is over! Rats!

    If the moves hurt you, you should modify them! Jillian does do plank-centered moves in level 1 of Yoga Meltdown, too. Namely, side planks, switching back and forth fairly quickly. She also goes through 2 sun salutations between each set.
