Very good DVD. You break a sweat but doesn't seem like a difficult workout. Very easy to follow. Next day you can feel the results of a good workout and you feel better.

This is the second Ellen Barrett video I've tried in the last 2 days and I absolutely love it. The exercises are challenging without making you feel like an idiot because you can't do them! I'm planning to add at least one more video to my collection to be sure I don't get bored with the workouts!
Great workout and easy to follow! August 18, 2008

I just did this workout for the first time this morning and was pleasantly surprised to have jello arms and legs afterwards. Sometimes Pilates/Yoga workouts can tend to be on the easy side but this one is definitely a challenge. I did have a decent amount of experience with yoga and pilates before doing this routine but found it to be easy enough to follow that a beginner could do it. She also does 3-4 sets of every exercise so at least by the last time, you can catch on. I would definitely recommend this to someone who likes yoga and pilates.
 Good DVD, annoying instructor July 24, 2008

For reference: I'm an avid gymrat--I exercise 5 days a week doing weights, cardio, and anything else that strikes my fancy. I really enjoyed this workout; I found the exercises challenging but not too crazy or hard that I had to stop. I've seen or done most of the poses from this video before so I didn't feel too out of my realm. This is not meditative or relaxing in any shape or form (hence, "SlimDown," nothing aimed at losing weight is relaxing!)--it is purely exercise. I do not consider this Yoga since a key component in Yoga is meditation. They USE Yoga poses and stretches, and they do Pilates exercises, but it is every bit an exercise video as Jane Fonda and her leg warmers.
I only gave it 4 stars because the instructor's voice is incredibly obnoxious and cheerleader-y.
Love it! July 6, 2008
Let me begin by saying for the price of this DVD it is totally worth it. Second of all, it is an awesome pilates and yoga workout! I cannot afford a gym membership so I make my home my gym. I have a treadmill, weights, and a weight bench. I also have about 20 different DVDs, both cardio (Tae Bo, bootcamp ones) and yoga and pilates ones. This DVD though tops them all! I have other DVDs of Ellen's (and they're all great) but this is my favorite. The flowing moves, the repetition, and the music is very relaxing, but it also offers an amazing workout. You can really see your core working hard. I would highly recommend this DVD to anyone who likes yoga and pilates. I would also recommend Ellen's level DVD (the one where you can pick from 3 different workout levels). I teach yoga and pilates at a summer camp and I brought the level one in to do with the kids and they loved it and kept requesting to do it again! I will be doing this one with them, too! I think I will have the same results with this one as well! Hope you enjoy the DVD!
