Beach Body is one of the largest distributors of fitness videos and products. Beach Body's hottest videos on the market are both designed to get you to your fitness goals,, but which product is right for you? Yoga Booty Ballet is a butt blasting fusion of yoga, cardio dance, and booty sculpting. Hip Hop Abs is a dance workout created to sculpt lean muscles and carve your abdominals.

Yoga Booty Ballet

Yoga Booty Ballet is a workout infusing yoga strength building moves with long, lean movements of ballet to target the booty. The workout is made specifically to see changes in the abs as well as the booty. YBB also incorporates cardio dance to burn calories and blast away fat. The DVDs include five different workouts that all emphasize something different.

Hip Hop Abs

Hip Hop Abs uses a "tilt tuck and tighten" technique that will transform your abs. This workout uses a cardio dance base to burn calories, and specific dance moves that focus on the abs to give you a shredded mid section. Hip Hop Abs gives you four different dynamic workouts, so you don't get bored with just one routine.

Instructors

Gillian Marloth Clark and Teigh McDonough have both been in the fitness industry for several years. Their style captivates participants through motivational coaching. Their video incorporates guided instruction as well as great moves to keep you going. Creator Shawn T. of Hip Hop Abs finds a way to inspire his viewers with his voice and music. He motivates with a high energy and a fun workout.

Calories

Your caloric burn would most likely be greater with Hip Hop Abs. This DVD is very cardio driven and at a bit of a higher intensity than Yoga Booty Ballet, which would elevate the heart rate more. Yoga Booty Ballet may have more of a strength building impact, but it will have a lower caloric burn.

The Verdict

Both workouts are created to target the body and give your results but offer different things. If you are looking to scorch some serious calories and stay motivated with great music, Hip Hop Abs is the DVD for you. If you are looking to shape and tone specific areas of the body, such as the booty, Yoga Booty Ballet is the best choice.
