Complete m/b workout in one
I love this book! Hobbs combines elements of different yoga styles with body weight exercises (yogacises) for a complete mind-body workout – and it is a workout, make no mistake. While it might not be for the yoga purist, Hobbs’ “Yoga Gym” is perfect for me because it has all the elements in one package. I don’t feel that I have do two separate workouts plus yoga to get results. Hobbs also shows how to create your own yoga gym workouts when you’ve finished the program, which is an added bonus. I look forward to completing the full 28 days, and creating my own Yoga Gym workouts afterwards.

Just what I was look for
Workout plan looks great. Would love something online to accompany it so I don’t have to flip back and forth in the book so much. But the combination of strength and Yoga in one plan was just what I was looking for.

Great book for integrating yoga into your life.
I really like this book. I’ve been exercising with it for several months now. Excellent pictures, genuinely persuasive exercise philosophy, lots of easy and more advanced variations, and a very usable program at the end of the book. I originally had this on my kindle, but ended up buying the book as I can leaf through it much more quickly while exercising. The pictures are also easier to see in book form too. The only caveat I have with the book is that the program has way too many pushups for certain days. This negative wasn’t enough to knock off a star simply because it is so easy to tweak–add pull ups/chin ups as an alternative, or pike presses, or hand stand pushups, instead. The table top dips also felt a little lame to me, so I’ve been using a much more challenging back bridge pushup variation (reverse pushups from a full wheel bridge position) to crank up the challenge. That said, the design of the program is eminently versatile, so let your imagination go once you’ve familiarized yourself with the 4 week program. Good stuff.

Als totaler Yoga-Anfänger ist das Buch auch geeignet. Die einzelnen Ãbungen sind erklärt und bebildert. Die Mischung aus Yoga und Kraftübungen finde ich gelungen und hat mir den Einstieg erleichtert.Am Anfang waren die Workouts sehr herausvordernd, aber nach einiger Zeit merkt man eine Verbesserung des eigenen Körpers was Stärke und Flexibilität angeht.Die Erfahrungsberichte am Anfang des Buchs haben mir gefallen und mich motiviert.Stellenweise gab es einige Wiederholungen, deswegen auch einen Stern abzug. Es soll wohl absolut deutlich gemacht werden wie toll Yoga ist und welche Vorteile man davon hat.

Love this book

I turn 50 years old later this year and I am finding that my body struggles now to cope with HIIT classes and it does not bounce back so well from heavy weight lifting so I made the conscious decision to step away from this form of training and as I have 2 knackered knees from years of running I wanted something to challenge me but to work against my own body weight and strength. I noticed Yoga Gym in a women’s fitness magazine and ordered it straight away. The book has revolutionised my attitude to exercise and training. I have just finished the 28 day plan, it was more challenging at times than I envisaged and I have been doing pilates both mat based and Reformer for several years so I understand my core but I am yet to get to grips with the Crow – a very challenging pose and perhaps not one for a novice. The 28 day plan is really well thought out and cleverly combines all large and small muscle groups, it is easy to understand and if like me you want to get stuck straight in and go for it you can then later on go back and read in more depth about the benefit and reasoning of the flows and poses (I do attend yoga classes at my local gym when I have time to do so). I have read every page and have told all my friends about the book. I have noticed a change in my shape already as my muscles become longer and leaner. I am taking a week off from the weekly plan but I have not stepped away from it entirely as I have crafted my own programme for 3 x weekly sessions of combining yoga flows and poses with hitting the punch bag – perhaps yoga and boxing are slightly juxtaposed but it works for me and that’s all that matters! Nicola Jane Hobbs has created an exercise master piece in my opinion – thank you, it is simply brilliant and I will be back on the progamme again next week.

Detailed and easy to follow

I love this book – very speedy delivery & well packaged. OMG, I don’t know how I lived without this book! I tried yoga a few decades ago but the book was not very detailed and I soon gave up due to boredom. Decided high intensity/high cardio was for me until 2 weeks ago, I tore my calf muscle, probably due to the fact I’ve had hypothyroidism for a year now and I decided to get going on all my old exercises. Thought as I’m in my early fifties now, I’ll do yoga as I never want to suffer injury again. Well, I started a week and a half ago, The first week I did non-weight bearing due to calf injury and WOW, it was amazing! I saw changes very quickly. This week, I started the monthly programme and have now completed my third session. I’ve never enjoyed anything so much; it’s not easy but the instructions are detailed and easy to follow & you can’t do anything but listen to how far your body will go. I’ve discovered muscles I never knew I had, even having practised Callanetics for over 2 decades & various other weight bearing exercises. The programme is well put together and I love it. I do this every morning before work and will continue to do so as long as I live. Being hypothyroid, it gives me more than flexibility and strength. It gives me back my optimistic outlook on life, I have more mental clarity, I am more relaxed although I have a stressful job. Nicola Jane Hobbs, you are a STAR!!!!
