Denise Austin leads a 30-minute workout to lift, tighten, and tone buns. Although it is titled “yoga,” it’s really a series of varied buttock and thigh exercises–some yoga, some not–that use body weight and balance. If you’re an Austin fan seeking a good gluteal workout, you’ll like adding this to your collection, but if you’re really looking for yoga,
Yoga Buns falls short. Austin demonstrates the poses well enough, but her constant, cheerleading patter (“Make it work for the cheeks, for the buns, tight tushies!” and “Think of a tree, beautiful tree, hold it up!” for example) runs counter to the meditative aspect of yoga. Austin gives good alignment instructions, but never includes breathing and never connects with the serenity or spirituality of yoga. Recommended if you’re looking for a half hour targeting the buns and you like Denise Austin.
