Movie Reviews of Self - Slim and Sleek Fast
Movie Review: I love this workout DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of my favorite workout DVDs. It is challenging for me and there have been times when I had to stop and take a break (other people on here might be in slightly better shape than me though so keep that in mind). But I love how Ellen Barrett is positive and uplifting without being too annoying (Ahem...Denise Austin...).Movie Review: Good main workout, Great bonus workout
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a good workout with an instructor who looks healthy, not like a stick insect. She cues well and the music is upbeat. It has enough repetition so that it is easy to follow, but not boring.
What is really nice is the bonus workout. It only lasts a little over five minutes, yet still manages to work most of the body with compound moves. Once you get the hang of it, you can go a bit heavier on the weights than what she recommends, and while she's explaining the moves, you can get in a few extra reps, or do half the number of reps, but in slow motion.
Movie Review: A decent beginners cardio workout.
Summary: 4 Stars
Good DVD for beginners. They give an option of a low impact or high impact workout, which is nice. Movie Review: Leg workout
Summary: 4 Stars
This self video workout is much more focused on legs. I really enjoyed it and after you do it a couple of times you can feel it for sure. I like the Bikini Ready fast better, but this one is pretty good too. Movie Review: Great DVD for beginners
Summary: 4 Stars
After being a gym rat (cardio bunny!) for five years straight, I decided it was time for a change of pace. I wanted a DVD I could pop in at home and do on the days I didn't feel like heading to the gym- one that would get my heart rate up, burn some calories, and make me feel like I had accomplished something.
This workout DVD does just that. The moves don't seem that hard, but it really makes me sweat. As a beginner to workout DVD's (with two left feet), I could still follow along easily. Ellen Barrett is a great instructor- she's enthusiastic without being annoying, and her cues are very easy to follow.
The DVD is broken up into various segments, including a "ballet themed interval" (which is fun and different), two cardio segments (both are very repetitive, but really get the heart rate going), and a weight segment (which is challenging but too brief).
The repetitiveness of the cardio segments is why I gave this DVD four stars instead of five. It is a VERY repetitive workout. It was fun the first two or three times I did it- but now that I've owned the DVD for awhile, I find myself only pulling this one out maybe once every three to four weeks. I've found other workout DVD's that are much more interesting and engaging, and so unfortunately this DVD finds itself on the shelf most days.
When I say that this DVD is great for "beginners", I do mean those of us that have aren't new to exercise but are new to workout DVD's. I do think a beginner to exercise could still find some merit in this workout, but it would be challenging.
But for a good, easy, mindless workout that will make you sweat...this is a solid DVD to own.
