Is this a magic bullet? No. Will you become thin and beautiful? Maybe not, but you will feel wonderful inside. This 108 day program has truly changed my life. I am an advanced and fit exerciser who has does heavy strength training and intense cardio. Because of a torn hip cartilage, I had to really modify my workouts. I was looking for something that would help me maintain my fitness level and the Ultimate Yogi seemed to be just the thing. Prior to this, I did yoga 1 to 2 days a week. I followed the 108 day program, while also incorporating some moderate weight training and cardio. I also followed the Common Sense Eating program. I was a little nervous staring this program since I was concerned that my wrists would bother me when I did so much yoga. Well, after 108 days I'm happy to say I didn't have any issues. I think it's because each yoga routine is so different that you don't overdo any one pose. My results: **I now weigh what I did in high school, for the first time since high school. And that was a long time ago! **I am so much calmer than I used to be. I am usually a hyper person who can't sit still and who is very impatient. Not anymore. When you wake up totally refreshed from a good night's sleep, or having a deep massage is the closest I can describe how I now feel. **My arms are toned like never before! There are more toned than when I was doing heavy weights. All the body weight work in yoga really works! Every one's body is unique and will react differently to various types of training. Well, all the body weight work in yoga is what finally (!) gave me toned arms. I can actually see my shoulder and triceps muscles now. Why I so love this program: **The yoga flows. I respectfully disagree with some of the other reviewers who thought this program was too repetitive. I felt that each routine was different so that I didn't get bored. I especially loved how Travis structures the flows so that you do the poses slowly and then put them together into a nice flow. **The timing of the postures. Sure there are some tough poses, can we say "twisting half moon?" You hold them long enough to be challenged but not so long that you are dying and wondering when you can stop. **Travis' excellent verbal cuing. I knew exactly what to do by listening to him and I didn't have to look up at the screen to see what to do. Note: If you are beginner yogi, this may not be possible for you since you may not be familiar with all the poses. **Lessening my view of "all or nothing." I didn't follow the Eating Program exactly, especially when it came to the cleanses. Call it life (and family) getting in the way. I still got lots of benefit from this program. Travis also gently reminds us that yoga is about the journey and not the end result. So I don't look anything like the class when I'm doing some of the poses. This doesn't matter because the poses are working for me. **The yogi-style pushups. Okay, I'll admit it, normally I don't like pushups but I know they do great things for my upper body and my core. I love how Travis `sneaks' in 5 - 10 of these pushups in almost every workout. You do enough so that you can get stronger, but not so many that you give up in frustration. **The suitability for all levels. Intermediate yogis can do this program; people with injuries can do this program. Advanced yogis can do this program. It's very versatile. Travis mentions many modifications, including both easier and harder versions of the poses. **The suitability for all spiritual beliefs. Travis talks about gratitude, kindness and inner peace. These are universal truths. There are no negatives for me with this program. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to get deeper into their yoga practice and truly transform their life.
