DDP Yoga, anyone on it?

CMpunked · 13-04-2013 3:35pm #1

I want to find out more about ddp yoga, but want to hear from genuine experiences off any of you guys rather than just take it at its word.

I know great things have been done by jake and razor with it, but i'm sure being present in the same house as the man gets a personalised regime.

What was the process like of getting into it and what are your thoughts on it?

Lord TSC · 13-04-2013 4:00pm

Me and my gut are very interested in this...

DM_7 · 13-04-2013 4:11pm

Haven't tried it but it sure looks the part. It appears to focus on muscle endurance and strength.

If you head to the gym and try to lift heavy weight you can hurt yourself pretty fast - muscle damage, joint damage. Simply because you can find momentum to 'move' a weight you shouldn't be lifting. Lots of people do bodybuilding exercises that are a waste of time unless your bodybuilding!

From what I have seen of DDPs workout he does things slowly, no momentum, so it will work the muscle hard rather than working joints as i mention above. Also looks like it gets you working multiple muscles at once.

I'm keen to hear about the results people have got as I am looking at something to do at the weekend at home (The gym I go to during the week is beside work but 90kms away from home)

EdK · 13-04-2013 5:28pm

Being doing it for months it's low impact can be done at home and shows results in very little time,Defines and strengthens muscles like biceps calves and core,can be adjusted to fit various levels aswell

Not sure how it works for weight loss personally as I had already lost 8 and a half stone when I started it by walking so I switched to it to keep weight down after walking got boring,I have since gained a stone (13 up to 14) since but the weight gained can be attributed to the gain of muscle I'd say

It can give you a gym type look if you stick with it without gym hassle

gnfnrhead · 13-04-2013 7:58pm

I've lost weight before by simply cutting out crap food, but that was like half a stone. Fair play to you.

krudler · 13-04-2013 8:11pm

I do it, find its great for flexbility, I work in an office so when you sit on your ass for 8hrs a day you need something to work out the kinks and tone up, really enjoying it so far.

Mainly stick to the long ones like diamond cutter and put red hot core at the end of what ever I do

brianblaze · 13-04-2013 8:26pm

I do it to compliment my Jiu Jitsu and lifting. It's good fun, and it's great for flexibility!

krudler · 13-04-2013 8:26pm

Eh nearly 2 months now? give or take, the workouts are for different things, one is for building strenght/muscle, another for toning, another for your core etc. there's a 12 minute abs one i do at the end and thats good, I find doing crunches and situps hurt my back but its a good alternative, you'll be really feeling it the next day. Having the yoga positions and moves renamed to be wrestling related is a cool touch.

brianblaze · 13-04-2013 8:27pm

And that's not a bad thing....

Never do sit ups, do planks and the like... Sit ups will mess up your spine.

CMpunked · 13-04-2013 8:34pm

So which one have all you guys got out of these?

https://www.store.ddpyoga.com/

I don't expect this to be a one shot thing, i'm not stupid, its not a "Do this and your weight will drop off and you will gain mass of muscle enough to take down a sow all while still eating take aways every night and chocolate." But I would like to see what it can do in complementary to what I'm doing at the moment.

DM_7 · 13-04-2013 8:36pm

Crunches/sit ups should be avoided in general but especially for anyone starting out. Most people do them wrong.

Can anyone give a good idea of what execrcises are in the programme? Are they simply the type of body weight exercises you would see can find easy enough on you tube but put into a routine so you know what exercises work well together?

B.A._Baracus · 13-04-2013 9:29pm

This is what DDP yoga can do:

Normally I am cynical when it comes to viewing what a 'product' can do for you but this seems 100% legit. It's amazing what his Yoga can do.

It's why his chest looks like it does at the mo, which I hope doesn't happen mine tbh lol

EdK · 14-04-2013 1:53am

I just posted a photo that actually now makes me quite sick but if it helps inspire anyone to become healthier it will be worth it

Ando's Saggy Bottom · 14-04-2013 2:09am

That's unbelievable EdK.

Fair play to you.

Now if you'll just invest in my patented system for the nominal fee of €100 a month we can get you started straight away ; )

Lord TSC · 14-04-2013 9:35am

After waking up with my bad joints flaring up again, barely able to walk, I've decided I've got to try something. Doc always says losing weight would help, so I'll be taking a trip into town tomorrow to put money on the debit card and putting in an order tomorrow evening...

It might be kind of cool, actually, if there's a few people using the program on here, to be able to discuss it with

Andy_rse · 14-04-2013 11:35am

Just ordered this yesterday as part of my attempts to change my entire life. Looking forward to getting stuck in! I've been thinking about getting it for a while, I'm naturally quite a cynical person and was wondering if it was as good as it looked but in all the research I done on it I honestly don't think I came across one negative review.

And that's some inspirational stuff Edk! If I can do anything close to that I'll be well happy.

Here's a pretty good video that gives a bit of a look and info on it

Lord TSC · 14-04-2013 11:55am

Ok, that video sells me completly.

I've got a bad back and bad knees, two things mentioned in that video, and it says that it's not going to stress them too much. That's awesome. Also like the 3/4 day a week thing. Also like things like the lowered knee push-ups (always had problems with push-ups

) and how it seems quite flexible for beginners.

I see those High Intensity workout programs sometimes and they just make me cringe and hurt all over looking at them. But this actually looks doable with some proper dedication, without consuming your life....

And major kudos to DDP for forging a market for himself outside of wrestling as well.

EDIT: Also some good examples of the exercises here.

DM_7 · 14-04-2013 12:04pm

Just remember, DDP Yoga moves won't make you lose weight (if that your goal) on its own. As EDK says, he worked damn hard to shift weight by adjusting his food and doing a lot of walking to burn calories.

Looking at the vid, that P90K is mental stuff and complete bull to be honest. Few people could realistically sustain a regime like that with such little rest time. DDP yoga is impressive to me as it appears to be realistic and sustainable unlike a lot of the exercise packages I have seen on teleshopping and the like.

That's exactly why I did it, that P90X thing is insane, constant intense workouts with no recovery time is a fast way to seriously injure yourself. I know people who do weights and long distance running but would never do it 6 days a week, that's too much toll on your body and it's during recovery you build most muscle anyway isn't it? DDP does say right at the beginning of the first yoga vid that you hear "no pain no gain" all the time, but pain is just that, pain. It's your body's way of telling you to slow down, I've never been in pain after a ddpyoga workout, I feel either energised or relaxed depending on what I've done and I feel like I'm doing something positive for my body, not crippled the next morning cringing at the thoughts of doing another intense workout the next day.

Andy_rse · 14-04-2013 12:19pm

Yeah I plan on doing it in addition to the exercise I do now, plus my diet is much improved. I think there's a diet plan or certainly some info on diet and nutrition included with the packages.

DM_7 · 14-04-2013 12:23pm

Pain no Gain - Big difference between 'pain' and soreness.

Muscle soreness is nothing to be afraid off after a workout, feeling some muscle burn shouldn't cause fear during a rep either.

Now if you are in genuine pain while you exercise that is a different story. Then you should STOP immediately.

Oh yeah like if you feel zero then you're not doing it right, I like how I feel after doing a good workout, not wrecked but energised and it feels good once you start seeing some definition it encourages you to keep it up, I dont want to collapse in a heap after every workout lol

this is gas, Scott Steiner's workout! routines? heart monitors? safety? pah! just bang away on weights like a boss. the commentary makes it funnier.

I'm recovering from a cruiate ligament injury in my knee and have been looking too get fit again somehow and also too shift weight...think I might give this a go..are any of the full workouts on line?

Oh yeah, I'm not expecting a miracle. The main aim would be to try and do something about by bad knees and back. As I said in Off Topic thread, I'm also planning on getting a dog in a few weeks, and have a feeling that will be leading to a lot of walks. And I've been adjusting my diet slowly over the last few months.

Have placed my order for the beginners kit now

EdK · 14-04-2013 3:54pm

I actually don't get any pain from DDP Yoga outside the first couple of times or if you go a while without doing it,otherwise I just feel good after it tbh but still see the results

When you start seeing the results you start looking forward to it rather than some other workouts where you dread and then ultimately reduce or stop them

Andy_rse · 14-04-2013 4:32pm

How long did it take to get approved for the team ddp website? I registered yesterday and it said an admin has to approve it first. Though I know there's a lot of interest in this at the minute so I'm sure things are taking a tad longer.

Thought it was a nice touch that he recorded a video for when you buy the dvds too.

GRMA · 14-04-2013 7:55pm

I do it too I think its brilliant, been at it a month and its made a big difference already

CMpunked · 14-04-2013 8:16pm

How much was shipping, tsc?

Lord TSC · 14-04-2013 8:22pm

25$

The cheapest package worked out at €74.36 altogether.

I've a seriously knackered back with leg problems, nerves etc as a result and this has helped me a lot, just take it easy and expect not to be able to do the exercises properly first time out

Digitalism · 14-04-2013 8:43pm

MOD EDIT : NO MENTIONING PIRACY.

But, yeah, ive been doing this for a few weeks, and personally, I think it only compliments traditional exercise such as running, weight lifting, brisk walks type of exercise etc. unless you are obese, as you will loose weight after a few months gradually, if you also change your diet.

But DDP has certainly found a lucrative business sector: Sell his brand of yoga to unhealthy wrestling fans who many feel its a quick and easy way to weight loss.

DM_7 · 14-04-2013 10:02pm

To be brutally honest, your right - from what I have looked at there is nothing special about any of the exercises. However the way they are built into a realistic regime for people makes it manageable and accessible to anyone so it looks worthwhile for all types of people.

I would suggest avoiding the advanced stuff if anyone has joint problems. There is no way you can do exercises like extreme push ups without putting a lot of pressure on your elbows and wrists.

DDP Yoga, anyone on it?
