Yoga Charge - AM/PM Yoga Videos For Morning Yoga, Power Yoga For Weight Loss, Restorative Yoga, and Evening Yoga For Sleep | 4 Workouts With Stackable 15 Minute Yoga Routines To Build A Daily Habit

Short Review: Buy it! You won't regret it. If you aren't familiar with Dean's programs, he targets yoga to appeal more to guys, emphasizing strength, balance and mobility (flexibility) with little to no emphasis on the meditative/spiritual side of yoga. He has a broad portfolio of programs ranging from the raw beginner (Yoga Start, Yoga Fix) to the "beginning intermediate" (GuyYoga, Yoga Charge) to advanced (Yoga Strength, Strength Foundations, etc.). All of the programs are great and if there is a trick, it's to make sure you are starting with the right program dependent on your skill/experience.Yoga Charge (this program) is an expansion of GuyYoga with longer programs (approx. 40 min.) with the same focus on Strength, Balance and a greater emphasis on Mobility which I personally find appealing. In addition, there is a 28 min. program which is all Mobility/Flexibility and is the best stand-alone Mobility program I've come across (Dean, if you listening out there, a full DVD of Mobility programs ranging from 15 - 60 min. would be a great add to the line-up!). Dean's positioned these workouts as targeting the start of the day, lunch-time, after works and before bed. While I agree they certainly serve this purpose, some might interpret that these programs aren't great stand-alone programs to include in your practice. Not so. These programs are excellent routines to rotate into your weekly routine and will challenge all of the core elements of your practice and provide a great workout. You'll find them as challenging as the "GuyYoga" routines and a great expansion to build in more variety to your practice. And as mentioned above, the dedicated Mobility routing ("Re-Charge") is one you'll do as a stand-alone or add to the end of other programs.Back to the short review....Buy it! You won't regret it!

This is a serious workout with great instruction, it is energizing, it is challenging and it burns calories. Just like the cover says, there are several workouts and I love them all. I've never done yoga before March 2020. After shelter in place orders I watched a free version available to Amazon Prime members and loved Dean's instructions and movements. I'm a man in my mid 50s with one knee replaced and the other on it's way out because of arthritis. and a plate in my clavicle. I am used to lifting weights and using cardio machines to stay in shape and I didn't think I could get a serious workout from yoga but boy was I wrong. These workouts have pushed me to my limit, using muscles I haven't used maybe ever. The instructions concentrates on the core but I also get a great leg, chest and shoulder workout from this DVD. I read some of the the complaints that Dean talks too much....if you know the poses and the movements I can see how that could became too routine, but I don't mind it and I don't find it intrusive. i would recommend this DVD to anyone beginning their fitness journey and to a seasoned athlete. I even bought a copy for my 83 year old mom, who's been doing yoga for many years. Some of the poses are a bit challenging because of her back but she manages to do the modified movements successfully.... and Dean, this is from mom, you have beautiful blue eyes and " you might as well have someone handsome to look at while doing your workout". Bravo on great DVD.

I first found Dean and his MFY stuff when I was recovering from back surgery a couple of years ago. Prior to lumbar surgery, I had been very active with F3 and have a physically demanding job. With over 25 years in law enforcement, I considered myself pretty ‘old school’ when it came to working out. I was very skeptical about yoga, but humbled laid out on the floor. I bought Dean’s beginners yoga DVD to give it a try. I’m an absolute believer now. I found Dean’s style of instruction to be straight forward and relatable. There’s no goofy atmospheric music or any of the ‘spiritual’ stuff I had associated with yoga. Just straight forward hard work. I have referred dozens of friends and colleagues to the MFY site and I recently purchased the chair yoga dvd for my parents (who love it!).Yoga Charge is exactly what I was looking for- several great, longer routines which are broken down into 15 minute or so mini workouts for the times when I don’t have an hour to exercise. Great variety of routines for selected times of the day or desired target areas. I really appreciate the ability to stream the content (on my tablet or phone) when I’m away from home.As I’m approaching 50, my main focus is now functional fitness. I can’t imagine a regimen without the core strength, flexibility and balance which I’ve only been able to find through these MFY routines. Thanks Dean for this awesome fitness resource! Keep up the great work!

The stretches are good. Instructor sets a slow pace, most of these are more warm up routines. I wish for more continuous yoga flow to lubricate joints and build strength. Also less talking, more doing would be nice. Why are his feet so orange?

This is my first video by Dean, and I'm glad I took a chance on it. No weird/fake sounding tones of voice or wonky spiritual jargon in this yoga video. He's precise and informative in his instruction, professional, talks like a human, and was more clothed than 90% of the women whose videos I have previously tried. Probably the most effective workout video I've purchased in a very long time. I'm very pleased with my purchase, and when it comes time for me to expand my workout dvd collection (the internet in my area sucks for streaming), his videos will be my first stop.

I love seeing men doing yoga. It’s a nice change. He is very easy to follow. The music and visual of studio was also nice and calming. Highly recommend.
