I love Ellen Barrett!! November 20, 2008 Kim A. Nieforth (Rhode Island) This is another great workout by Ellen Barrett.The one group of muscles that were the sorest were the ones right around my kneecaps. This, I feel, is good because women are the ones who tend to have acl injuries and I want to prevent that. This is a great addition to the growing workout library I have!
Wow not what I expected!! October 26, 2008 kimmy cat (telford pa. usa) This workout surprised me, I expected it to be very easy and relaxing. Boy was I wrong it was a great workout that really made me sweat! It was easy to follow only 30 minutes long and a great workout, I love it.
Squats!!!!!! October 25, 2008 TB (Seattle, WA) I really enjoyed this workout. It was challenging and interesting, and not overly easy. The Instructor was pleasant, easy to follow and really kept things moving along swiftly. One thing I didn't expect was all the squats.. I've never done so many squats in my entire life! My legs were definitely burning during this workout. Despite the overabundance of squats, I enjoyed the ballet moves, the aerobic movements, the salsa dancing, and the floor routine. Plus the weights added to this routine really boosted my workout. This was a solid, well rounded fitness routine; Every inch of my body (including my lungs) got a workout! I will definitely add this video it to my rotation when I want a challenge.

I liked this DVD. I only have minimal pilates experience so I don't really have much to compare to, but as a basic fitness dvd, it fits very well into my rotation. In my opinion its really more cardio than pilates. Don't expect a lot of mat work - there's actually very little. The majority of the workout is done standing up. As far as low impact cardio goes, this one does quite well. While it's not going to get your heart rate up as high as say running or cycling, it does better than I expected it to. Nothing is overly challenging - most people should have no problem doing this one - but you do feel like you accomplished something by the end. Overall a good value so long as you're not expecting a crazy strenuous workout.

Always in search of a great fitness video, I was well pleased with this one. Ellen, the leader is easy to follow and makes this video enjoyable with her attractiveness. I definitely get my heart rate high enough, without high impact movements. It took me two week's time to be able to do this video without muscle soreness, but now that I am past the soreness, I can feel my muscles firming. The class members on the video feel like people you know, not like people from Hollywood.
