This book (and the DVDs bought separately) got me to try yoga. And in this incarnation, I like it. I'm a very overweight diabetic who desperately needs to get fit, and I was impressed by the story of disabled Gulf War veteran Arthur, who used YRG to not only lose 157 lbs but regain the use of his body after being told he'd never walk without crutches again.

Well, Arthur is one of the guys demonstrating the moves in the book and on the DVD. If he can do it, so can I. Sure the book is firmly aimed...more

This is not your regular yoga book! But it's not a joke either. It's a serious workout. “Yoga For Regular Guys: The Best Damn Workout on the Planet” by three time World Champion Wrestler Diamond Dallas Page is a fun book that provides the basics to get a great yoga workout. Page wrote the book with Dr. Craig Aaron and even got Rob Zombie to write the Foreword. I found a copy at a used book store and am very glad I did.

It's a serious workout. “Yoga For Regular Guys: The Best Damn Workout on the Planet” by three time World Champion Wrestler Diamond Dallas Page is a fun book that provides the basics to get a great yoga workout. Page wrote the book with Dr. Craig Aaron and even got Rob Zombie to write the Foreword. I found a copy at a used book store and am very glad I did.

First off, the book is aimed at guys. This should be obvious by the title. With that said, there are a few tid bits of locker room humor, but nothing that bad, and as the covers states, there are yoga babes included. Page begins by making his personal case in regards to doing yoga. Why he started, what it's done for him, and why he thinks it is the best workout you can do. His case is compelling. I agree that yoga is great for you and I hope Page is able to get a lot of regular guys to check this form of exercise and stretching out. He then goes into the first lesson on breathing. This is so important and I'm glad it was included. (If it hadn't, I'd question the book.)

The bulk of the book is devoted to three routines. The 20 minute workout section, the 30 minute workout section, and the 45 minute workout section. Each of these provides pictures and short descriptions to follow along with and learn the routines. The pictures and descriptions are good, but those that have taken classes or watched DVDs will have an advantage. It is a lot easier to learn movements that way rather than from a book. But for a book, this one is done well. It also has a few pages of the workouts at a glance. These have the pictures without the descriptions to help you remember the sequence of moves.

The book concludes with a section called “Hammers and Duct Tape” which provides some quick fixes for instant stress relief, and a chapter that has some quick information on ice vs. heat, organic foods and juicing, massage, and drinking water. Finally, there is a little inspiration and motivation.

Throughout the book there are side boxes by Dr. Aaron (Yoga-Doc says...) and boxes by Page's wife, Kimberly, called “Hot Tip!” These provide additional information and add to the book. The models demonstrating everything in the pictures include Page and his wife, as well as some “yoga babes” as he calls them and some regular guys.

Yoga really is good exercise and you can now take it from Diamond Dallas Page, it's for regular guys, too. If you have ever been interested in trying yoga, or adding it to your workout regimen, this book might be just what you need to get off the couch and onto the yoga mat. I enjoyed reading it and am including Page's yoga workouts into my weekly exercise and stretching. Read it and see what yoga can do for you.(less)

Though written with humor, this book was essentially written in an attempt to appeal to the "redneck". It makes use of "cheese cake" photography in an attempt to coax "real guys" into doing yoga. I found nothing useful or worthwhile in this book.

It's written by a wrestler and the forward is by Rob Zombie. Also, one of the models is wearing combat fatigues as he shows proper yoga form. This is going to be awesome.
