DDP Yoga Review – review of DDP Yoga DVDs and fitness program, cardio and strength-based Yoga program designed to provide an intense workout without harming your joints.
OAKLAND COUNTY MOMS PRODUCT REVIEWS
I’m re-reviewing DDP because I brought the DVDs from my original review in 2012 back in the fray and wanted to see how they held up. Yes, DDP is still cranking out content. Of course, now they have a handy and helpful app… and they also now offer appearances, retreats, and workshops in addition to other products & services.
My original round of reviews even included an interview with Diamond Dallas Page about his revolutionary DDP-Yoga program (see related posts below for interview). Diamond Dallas Page is a retired professional wrestler, and has developed this yoga style so that he could have an truly effective workout, without putting any stress on his “battered” body.
Having to deal with back and neck injuries as a result of an auto accident, along with some arthritis in my knees, I was quite intrigued by Dallas’ new Yoga program. Dallas offered to send me his DDP-Yoga DVD’s to try out and I happily agreed.
So, what is DDP Yoga? The basis of the DDP-Yoga program is that it has some of the same qualities as traditional yoga, i.e. no impact on the joints, improving flexibility, strong focus on the core…BUT, Diamond Dallas Page took the Yoga concept and modified it. With DDP-Yoga, you’ll experience huge cardio benefits, muscle building and toning, fat burning… all with the same yoga benefits of core strength, flexibility and more. I’m in week 3 of DDP Yoga and I’m seeing a lot of improvements to my flexibility, core strength and more. I didn’t think results like this could be possible with my back problems.
DDP YOGA REVIEW
I tried out a few of the workouts and was impressed with how well Diamond Dallas Page constructed this program. I used to lift weights and have had to cut back on the amount of weight I can lift. With DDP Yoga, I can feel my muscles getting the same workout, but without lifting anything. I am not putting any strain on my back or neck. Plus, there is absolutely zero impact. My heart rate is well into the fat burning zone and I have done every move with my feet planted on the ground – no bouncing, no jumping, etc. With the DDP-Yoga workouts, you will break a sweat and get results without any strain on your body. This is a great workout program to look into if you’re having aches, pains or an injury and you still want to participate in in yoga or strength training.
All of the DDP Yoga workouts can be modified to your level. Dallas gives options for the modifications so you can do the workouts and build up to more difficult levels.
One thing you’ll notice right from the start, Diamond Dallas Page uses some traditional Yoga positions, but he has also creatively made up many yoga moves of his own, and granted them memorable names like Diamond Cutter and Broken Table.
Finally, DDP-Yoga comes with a program guide that provides a fitness/nutrition/motivation guide to get you the best results.
