I didn't get a heart monitor and I wasn't convinced of their necessity: you can generally tell when you need to take a break because your muscles give out.
Finally, he suggests using a wrist-ban heart monitor and checking your heart rate while working out. He also does more lunging positions that work on the quads than you find in other yoga DVDs. He emphasizes keeping muscles engaged (isokinetic) for most postures, and he does more yoga push ups that you find on most yoga DVDs. Aaron and DDP do all the talking in the studio: there's no voice-over.ĭDP makes his mark on yoga by giving his own names to traditional postures: "Road Warrior," "Happy Porn Star," and "Catcher," for example.
There's pleasant blue-flavored electric guitar music in the background of most of the DVDs. There's less of this in the "Fat Burner" workout and in the "Fat Burner Plus" they are pretty quiet, because their energy is going on the workout. In the shortest workout, the participants do a fair amount of talking back and yelling out along with DDP - saying "Touchdown!" and "Superstar!" when doing a couple of positions for example. These people are 3 men and 3 "yoga babes": the babes wear skimpier clothing than the men. DDP and his "Yoga Doc" Craig Aaron lead 6 other people though the workouts. The workouts are performed in a room with red brick walls. The DVDs are much easier to follow than the book. The whole idea of YRG is to give a strong low-impact workout to regular people, especially men. These are not available through, but they are available through DDP's own website. Following this, in 2006, he put out a set of YRG DVDs: these come with 3 disks: "The 20 Minute Workout," the 40-minute "Fat Burner" workout, and the 60-minute "Fat Burner Plus." Each DVD has exactly the same extra: a demonstration of modifications and "keys to success," guidance on the heart monitor and isokinetics, an inspirational segment, and some testimonies by fans of Yoga for Regular Guys. on Apr 17th 2007ĭiamond Dallas Page put out a book on Yoga for Regular Guys in 2005.
