Hemalayaa 's Bollywood Booty workout DVD Review - Acacia Fitness


Another masterpiece of a dance routine was the Hemalayaa Bollywood booty. It reminded me of the show 'Shimmy' that comes on Fit Tv, back when I had verizon and had the privilege of having it for so many years, Thank you.


The dance routine consists of some gyrations, hip movements, arms raises, and truly feeling like a bollywood or bellydancer of some sort.

I did the routine for a 15 minutes just to test out by the hotel I was staying at. They had the Get Fit. Stay Fit program over LodgeNet, so I click and tried it for free. It is so wonderful and I definitely felt sensual, sexy, and working hard to whittle away the inches at the same time.

It does not come off as a workout but it sure does feel like it.

There is the full DVD workout to buy, which I gotta say, I am definitely going to pick up.


Plus Hemalayaa I realize has a lot of workout dvds so far. Next one of hers I want to try, is in the Fit in 5: Ultimate body blitz (greenish cover?), its her yoga inspired routine.

Next review shall be the Weight Loss Cardio Sculpt (when I finish the routine, haha!) and Weight Loss Cardio Kick then Qi Gong fire. Not sure if I am ready for Duncan Wong Source Power! Haha let me know.

Weight Loss Pilates with Kristin McGee -- Acacia Fitness DVD review


I always loved training with Kristin McGee in the past but have not done so in a while. I know Kristin from the MTV Yoga, Power Yoga, Pilates, and Pilates Mix exercise series that they had in the earlier 2000s.

If we all remember, MTV was a bit of a fitness and music powerhouse of those combinations, I remember countless days I would do The GRIND :The Hip Hop workout for twice a day because I loved it soooo much!

It first came out when I was a kid back in the 1990s & my mum would exercise with it and dance like its 1970 again.

Anyway, went off tangent and now back to the Acacia Fitness, which I love them so much for productions of all these wonderful DVDs and instructors.

The latest Kristin McGee ones are Body by Bethenny with the lovely Natural Foods Chef Bethenny Frankel and the Weight Loss Pilates DVD.


I was in the hotel room and I knew that you get free workouts on the On Demand menu for Acacia Get Fit. Stay Fit. & Exercise TV.

So I looked under Get Fit. Stay Fit. And tried this Weight Loss Pilates after I did Hemalayaa's Bollywood Booty (which Ill put up a review for later).

IT WAS INTENSE BUT GOODNESS. Like Core Fusion INTENSITY AND YOU FEEL THE RESULTS TO COME.

Your abs is the center of the body and controls of everything. So I believe it is important to train the core most of all. This program can.

It was a series of cardio movements starting to warm the body and then floor core work which is very very groundbreaking! Some of the pilates movements are definitely classics but some with a lovely strong twist to it. Then you do another round of cardio movements and then more floor work and then 1 of the routines of the DVD is done.

The whole program all in all is wonderful and Kristin McGee is a great instructor.

Once again, another success.

Dance and Be Fit: Lower Body Burn - Acacia Fitness DVD Review


This DVD is amazing, the lower body burn of Dance and Be Fit, you definitely feel it in your legs, buns, calves but at the same time you feel the abs and constant arms movements really add up.

You start doing some hip and arm warm-ups and then some fluid movements all around the whole DVD. You repeat the sequence from the top about 2-3 times for about 25 minutes.

It is so much fun and good for all levels of fitness. Beginners will have a just little trouble but then the second time around the sequence, you learn most of the movements.

There is a girl in the back that shows modifications which are very helpful for beginners and injured/rehabilitated folks. The host is great in instruction and her voice is soothing. You could probably dance yourself to relaxation.

All in all, another good Acacia Fitness DVD. I want to try the Dance and Be Fit: Brazil Body DVD next.

Later Days,
