Jillian Michaels Yoga Inferno Workout 2: Review!

Ahh... Yoga Inferno Workout 2!

I think I like this one even better than workout 1, because it honestly just makes me feel like more of a badass, despite the pain of actually doing it.

The biggest difference between workouts 1 & 2 is that workout 2 incorporates hand weights- Jillian recommends using 3 pound weights, but you can also use 5s if you're a showoff (or if you're like me & don't have 3s).

Now, don't freak out: The weights are not in your hands the whole time. This workout does have a lot of similarities to workout 1 in that it still incorporates those traditional yoga moves, some balance work, a bit of cardio. This workout is definitely a step up from workout 1 in terms of difficulty though, and I recommend doing workout 1 at least 5 times before moving to this one, plus make sure you've done lots of traditional strength training and have worked out with hand weights previously.

This workout incorporates a higher ratio of traditional strength moves (like squat & press, chair stance with bicep curls, lunge stance with rows, etc.), but also uses the weights in the yoga moves, like superman (shown on the side here) while you hold one weight out in front of you, bring your arms behind you, pass the weight to the other hand, and bring it back to the front. Moves like this are hard for me because I've always had weak arms in comparison to the rest of my body, but it is such a great move because you're using your ENTIRE body to do it.

This is a really hard workout, but I love it so much and would definitely recommend it if you want to work hard and burn a ton of calories. Overall, this may be my favorite Jillian workout!
