Back 2 Bollywood - The Masala Bhangra Workout DVD
Categories: Fitness, Reviews & Products

Earlier this week, I introduced you to Sarina Jain and the Masala Bhangra Bollywood-style workout. Did it pique your interest? If so, you'll love this -- I had a chance to review Sarina's latest workout DVD, Back 2 Bollywood.
This is definitely a video for people who love to dance because it truly is a dance workout. I've always loved watching Bollywood-style dancing, but because the moves are so different than anything I know, I assumed it was really difficult. Sarina makes it easy (although, I'm not sure I looked quite as, umm, authentic as she did).Likes:
Learning a new form of dance is always fun, and in this workout, there is a very simple, basic move that you return to after learning each new move. The music was lively, with a great beat. Additionally, I always like when the instructor and her back-ups seem like they're having fun, and that certainly was the case -- Sarina's love of dance and fitness is palpable.
Dislikes:
While it probably made learning the moves a little easier, I felt like the basic step was used too much, for too long. It involved a lot of shoulders, and that's the only part of me that really got tired. It was a fun workout, but not terribly challenging. It might have been different if I had more room, but my living room is larger than many, so I don't think most people would have more space.
Bottom line: I would have really liked to have some alternatives offered to make the workout a little more difficult, but I wouldn't change the instructor for anything. I definitely had a good time with it, but felt more relaxed than out of breath at the end.
