I love Yoga Zone DVD's and I love yoga which I have been doing for about a year but this does not feel like a fat burning workout. It can be fairly intense if you really sink into your lunges etc but I have not been able to break a sweat (and I am about 50lbs overweight) or to get my heart rate up. You can really feel your legs toning though so the DVD is still worth it I just don't know if I buy the actual fat burning part.
