DDP Yoga, anyone on it?

Ando's Saggy Bottom · 14-04-2013 10:46pm

Yeah is it not just normal yoga with a few wrestling names thrown in?

Dont forget Dynamic Resitance® :pac:

Also, for anyone starting this, or most yoga for that matter, a heart rate monitor is ESSENTIAL in my opinion, as it will let you know if your going to hard, or in most cases, if you need to kick it up a notch to burn some fat.

Thinking about investing in DDP Yoga, is it only available from his site?

MOD EDIT : NO MENTIONING PIRACY.

I've been considering trying it out too. I'm on Stratusphere Yoga right now and I like that but I wouldn't mind seeing what else is out there

I am a big fan od DDP yoga - I was skeptical st the start but really it does make a difference! The dynamic Resistance stuff does engage all your body and my do you get a great workout out of just standing still! I haven't been doing it for that long but I already feel better!

His enthusiasm is infectious aswell! Would definitely recommend it!

jaykhunter · 15-04-2013 11:42am

This is a thread for talking about DDP Yoga, not piracy.

irishgoldberg · 22-04-2013 11:31am

arrived in the post this morning - just done my first diamond dozen:)

Lord TSC · 22-04-2013 11:39am

Mine shipped on Friday so hoping it arrives soon.

Was it by post or courier Goldberg?

I got home from dropping the kids to school to find the other half reading the book, so not sure im afraid. But it didnt take too long to arrive.

grames_bond · 23-04-2013 11:49am

still going through this myself, I feel so much more energised after doing it - currently on fat burner, but will be combining that with red hot core later on!

As I said his enthusiasm is infectious - it doesnt get old!

GRMA · 23-04-2013 1:40pm

What is everyones favorite workout? I've been doing energy and fat burned but I'd like a kinda all round one so I can just do the same one every second day (with a bike workout the days I'm not doing yoga). ATM I've lost a bit of weight and my arms, chest, legs, butt etc have all toned up a lot but my stomach not so much.

I'd like to just have the one dvd and workout so I can get into a routine

ThunbergsAreGo · 23-04-2013 7:30pm

How difficult is it? and how long do you need to spend on it a day?

Iv never done Yoga before

Diamond cutter + red hot core mainly because I don't feel i've done enough if i do the short ones

token101 · 24-04-2013 2:06am

Lost a stone on it since January. Savage stuff. I do it 6 days a week, usually Diamond Cutter or the Double Black Diamond.

Les Ferdinand · 24-04-2013 8:32am

Sounds savage lads. Fair play to you all. Have you lads changed your diet much doing the yoga? BANG!!!

Andy_rse · 24-04-2013 11:49am

Just received mine this morning. Took about a week and a half to arrive. Just finished my normal workout so I'm fu*ked but I'll stick it on this afternoon and take a look!

Lord TSC · 24-04-2013 12:14pm

Got mine this morning as well. The book wrecks my head as an English teacher (so many exclaimation marks :S) but it is motivating. Looking forward to this...

thats what I do, I hurt my wrist so havent done it lately but getting back into it this week so will restart with the diamond dozen and red hot core and take it from there.

savemejebus · 24-04-2013 12:37pm

For those doing it, from looking at the vids it struck me that you'd almost need someone there with ya to check your form, cos otherwise it could be very easy to position yourself wrong. Is this necessary or does it matter if you're a bit off (and i dont mean bending knees or coming forward for lunges).

I guess I could ask my girlfriend to show me how to "Hulk it out"

That did look like the hardest part alright :pac:

but seriously, lining up your hips and knees and keeping a straight spine for broken table when you are starting out looks like it could be easy to get into the wrong position.

Yup, some of them alright I think it would be handy if you had a mirror or something.

I took a pic of myself just bending over at the waist to compare how flexible I'd be after a few weeks, try that to make sure anything involving your back is done right.

Andy_rse · 24-04-2013 2:48pm

Regards to the correct form, I guess that question could be applied to any type of exercise you do on your own. Just have to try and concentrate on getting it right.

Just done the Diamond Dozen there, it's definitely harder than it looks in terms of effort and the workout it gives you.

krudler · 24-04-2013 2:55pm

The pushups are good.

Andy_rse · 24-04-2013 2:57pm

Yeah I liked them and the Road Warrior ones!

CMpunked · 24-04-2013 4:42pm

Does anyone wear a heart rate monitor? Or are there any good deals about on them?

The whole point of DDP yoga is to use a heart monitor to check if your in a "fat burning zone", and if not, to get into it. Your pretty much wasting your time otherwise. They are about €50.

I wouldn't go that far,personally I don't have one i just put the effort in all the way through and don't go easy on any of it so I should always be working hard enough

eBay have them for around €15 plus p&p. Argos have decent ones for around €25-35. These are the watches by the way.

grames_bond · 26-04-2013 9:21am

watches reallyonly give oyu an AVERAGE heart rate - not your current one - so "zone checks" are fairly impossible - you really need one with the chest strap and watch......having said that I don''t have one yet - really should get on that!

Lord TSC · 26-04-2013 12:26pm

Just finished the first go on it.

I feel like I've had a good workout, but I don't feel dead (as is typical when, say, I do some time on a treadmill). There were a few moves that really caused my body to object (my bad hip threw a fit on broken table), but otherwise it was enjoyable.

I wouldn't mind getting the heart monitor, but I spent my last money on getting the DVD tbh. Will try and get on soon enough.

That's why I like it, you feel like you've done positive stuff afterwards but dont feel half dead, it's worth doing red hot core at the end too its only 10 mins long but you def feel it the next day, not in a "christ I can't stand" way but in an everythings tighter way.

Lord TSC · 27-04-2013 6:46pm

Well, my abdomen area is in bits all day today. Those backwards stretches have worked muscles that I've not worked in a very long time. Hoping it's the "good" type of pain though, and am looking forward to starting the program offically on Monday.

Andy_rse · 27-04-2013 6:59pm

Yeah I'm feeling it in my abdomen today. I've only done the diamond dozen twice and energy twice. Will probably do fat burner in the morning then follow the program from Monday.

Pleasently surprised my back isn't hurting as I get a bit of a bad back now and again and have pretty bad posture.

It definitely makes you work and you can feel it but not in the bad way where you dread doing it again. Can't wait to do it again tomorrow.

Mr Teeny · 27-04-2013 8:30pm

Have been following this thread for a bit and all the enthusiasm and reviews have me sold. Going to order today.

Did you guys just go for Pack 1 (which I think I'll go for... just looking for a kick in the ass to start getting fit again)? Or is it worth it to just get a combo pack now?

Andy_rse · 27-04-2013 10:22pm

I jumped right in and bought the whole package, I'm determined to do the forearm stand thing (forget it's name) by the end of the year. To be fair though there's plenty in the first pack to keep you going for a while, 6 workouts including a tutorial on the main moves, a 20 min workout to get you going, lower body workout, core workout and a 50 min workout that looks killer.

What ever you get it will keep you busy.

Just got pack 1 in the end. Booked electric pic and paid property tax today too so don't think my credit card could take the full pounding!

Saw that forearm stand in the extreme promo... :pac: Probably just as well I didn't get that one, I'd break my neck trying it!!

Black crow? If you try it every time it gets easier can do it for around 3 seconds

That's the one. Like the way he breaks it down so you can build up to it.

Lord TSC · 21-05-2013 3:57pm

Well, I've had to book an appointment with the doc tomorrow. Threw my back out badly last Thursday doing one of the moves and need something stronger than panadols which aren't working now.

Before that though, it was going great. And I can't wait to get back on it. 3 pounds dropped in 3 weeks so at least there was some moveement in my weight :P Will be back on it once I can walk again :P

Andy_rse · 21-05-2013 4:35pm

Damn, sorry to hear that!

What move were you doing?

I'm still loving it and the scale is heading in the right direction. Love those slow burn push ups. Killer!

Lord TSC · 21-05-2013 5:24pm

The one where you start in table position, then lift one leg and the opposite arm. I always struggle with balance on it, but whatever way I did it, I twisted awkwardly.

I had a bad pain all day Thursday and Friday, and it was easing off over the weekend, but has taken off again today. Just a bad muscle pain spread out over my lower-left back.

Andy_rse · 21-05-2013 6:19pm

Sounds nasty. Broken table - broken back!

JohnMarston · 21-05-2013 7:13pm

I've starting DDP Yoga, now about two weeks into it. Tried the Diamond Cutter workout, the whole hour one. Was effing and blinding about the 40 minute mark at how relentless it seemed to be. Be keeping at it though

And yes, i'd recommend it

Mr Teeny · 21-05-2013 7:47pm

Only one week in myself but I'm loving it. Have dropped 4 pounds off the beer belly (but that includes a major change in my diet too!!) Not looking to lose bags of weight, just the belly and to tone everything else up and build better fitness/flexibility. Have only done Diamond Dozen and Energy so far but delighted with the results. Got a heart monitor in argos over the weekend to see how I was going and was chuffed to see my heart rate hit the 140's during the Energy workout.

Totally recommend! Bang!

Jaysus, the most extreme I've gotten is "Energy/Red Hot Core". Even that can leave me feeling like I've run a marathon. Not even looking at the Cutter work out for a while :P

DDP Yoga, anyone on it?
