Two wonderful and easy to follow workouts in one. I'm just starting with Pilates, and Michelle's instruction and cuing is perfect for a beginner. The Yoga DVD introduced me to Sara Ivanhoe, who is now my hands down favorite yoga instructor. You can always pick up some great pointers from Sara's DVDs and manage to keep from killing yourself and have fun at the same time.

Yet another 2 in one DVD. The first- Joy of Yoga- is about 30 minutes and is a wonderful introduction to Sara's videos or a good stretch after a weight training or cardio workout. The second, Fat-Burning Yoga is challenging and I'm still working up to that one.

Man, was this one ever a disappointment. The poses don't flow and Finger uses some pretty tough poses. I'm not a fan of the mystic side of yoga, so the "colored chakras" talk he does during the relaxation part just made me turn it off early.

The best things about this DVD for me are the preset workouts. I don't really care for the meditations or mood boosting sections, but I bought this for the hip release section. I usually just go with the 45 minute Hips Bliss preset.

This one is repackaged garbage. I was fooled into thinking this was a perfect fusion DVD, but was annoyed to find this is just Standing Pilates Bend in a new DVD case. The "ballet" moves are not helpful or recognizable as ballet, and the pilates mat moves that follow the "ballet" are almost as useless. This is a total dud that went back to the store.

Such an inconsistent DVD! The core and full body segments contain moves that are stressful and dangerous for your back. But at the same time, I enjoyed the arms and butt/ thigh segments. The stretch segment I'm pretty lukewarm about. I'm going to sell this one.

Vol 1 is absolutely horrible. The cuing is off, and Peter Martins will either call out a move that the dancers won't do or they'll suddenly just do something with no warning and you're suddenly lost. Even worse, the dancers wear BLACK shoes in a dimly lit space. I can't see a thing and don't know where their feet are going. I have high hopes for Vol 2, though. :(

It's cheese cake and Dolphina is full of herself. But thanks to this video, I got a leg up when I went to my first belly dance class, and I have her DVDs to thank for it!

This is my staple weight lifting DVD. I just use heavier weights as I progress. I love the lower body moves Smith uses on this DVD. My lower body is rock hard thanks to her. I just wish she would slow the heck down! I can't get into lunges as fast as she and her "class" can. I started pausing the DVD and doing lunges at my own pace.
