Movie Review: Get this workout!
Summary: 5 Stars
Love this DVD! After watching the entire workout series from my couch just to see what I was getting myself into, I knew that this workout was exactly what I needed to tone up my skinny but slightly jigglie body. I do a number cardio workouts but very few strength exercise and workout series compliments my other workouts perfectly.
Contrary to a number of reviews that I've read about this DVD, it is very much a challenge. Even though I usually workout with 3 to 5 pound weights, I started out with a two pound set just to test the waters. Let me just say, I'm glad I did! My first time out I was sweating up a storm and feeling my muscles work hard very early on. I was feeling the effects of the workout in my legs, arms and bum well into the day after my first workout. I love it!
The bonus Pilates abs workout is brief but shows you the standard abs moves that you will see on just about every Pilates DVD on the market. Do it a few times in a row and you can really feel your abs getting a workout - but remember Pilates is about quality and not so much quantity and if you want a hardcore abs workout buy the Self abs workout DVD along with this one.
Don't let the fact that this DVD has commercials at the beginning turn you off. That's why we have a menu button on our remote controls. Fly past the ads and enjoy your workout!
Movie Review: Wonderful total body workout!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an awesome workout. I have been using this DVD for 3 weeks now, twice a week and I can see the difference. I have also gotten a lot of comments on how much slimmer I look. And while I'm not sure I have lost weight, I HAVE gained muscle and my clothes look a lot better on me too!
This DVD is split into 3 sections, 2 are with weights and the last involves push-ups and a cardio plyometrics jump and squat series.
This is a wonderful workout that tones all areas of the body from your shoulders to your legs. I usually feel it the next day so I know I am working those areas. AND there is a bonus 10 minute ab workout as well, just in case you felt you didn't work them out enough during the 30 minutes segment.
Ellen Barrett is a great instructor. I have 3 of her DVDs and I love doing them all. She is an excellent, motivating instructor who thoroughly explains the moves and how to do them.
This isn't a "magic" video that will help you drop 30 lbs in a month, but if you do this is conjuction with a sensible diet you are definitely on the road to a better body, better health and more energy. This is a great DVD because you can see AND feel the difference!
Movie Review: WOW
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this DVD after trying numerous other ones thinking this would just be the last ditch idea. WRONG. This DVD is absolutely great for me! I've put on a few pounds since my sophmore year in high school and haven't ever really been able to get them off despite me saying every summer, 'you're going to do this'. I'm not overweight, I just have a little pudginess I want to get rid of around my stomach, legs, and arms and this is great so far! I already have definition in my arms after about a week on this and my legs are really getting toned. The ab bonus isn't as great but I'm working that on my own time with a medicine ball and old fashioned sit ups and some pilates moves you get from this DVD. This is great and the instructor(s) aren't super skinny looking models making me not feel so self-conscious in my exercise gear. She keeps your motivated throughout the session and despite reviews that it's not 'challenging enough' I say that it's the PERFECT DVD for struggling beginners trying to get back in shape over the summer. I LOVE IT!Movie Review: May I just say...

...that I love Ellen Barrett! In a world of beach-bunny-cheerleader-fitness-instructors, this woman is an oasis! I'm not into those "perky people." At the same time she is positive and encouraging. She'll also tell you stuff like, "If you're feeling a strain in your neck right now, that's normal." THANK YOU! How many times have I gotten to a point in a work out and thought, "Should I be feeling what I'm feeling right there?" I read other reviews of this workout and found that they were not as kind. They all wanted it to be much more difficult. That's fine, but I need to be motivated to come back to it the next day or day after. So I suggest, and you might ask a fitness instructor about this, that if the workout isn't enough for you, increase the weights. Ellen only says to use a 3 to 5 lb set. Initially, the lightest set I had were a set of 8s. Believe me, that was pleanty hard!!!! I've only been using this for a week and a half and I'm starting to see a little more definition in the arms. Good stuff!Movie Review: Excellent, fun video! I'm seeing and feeling results
Summary: 5 Stars
This video is perfect and manageable for 2-3 times per week, along with other activities; I've been motivated to do the video for five weeks now, no problem, and feel great. Wonderful strength training! And my arms, core and abs are stronger and more toned, as well. While this video may not be as challenging for some of the hard-core exercise people, it seems suitable for almost any level and gets you moving. I like the pace and level of challenge; you can increase the weights if you like, and I may eventually, but I really don't see tiring of this workout, especially when kept in my mix of exercise. Ellen Barrett does such an excellent job of keeping you motivated, maintaining an interesting and varied workout, and working several important parts of your body. I'm interested in and would purchase other workout videos from her.
