Excellent Full Body Workout!, December 9, 2006

By 

DJ (USA) – See all my reviews

  

This is one of those fun, new programmable DVDs where you can mix and match the exercises in the order you want, and even do the same segment more than once. You can customize your workout from the warm-up (4 minutes), power cardio (11 minutes), upper body (12 minutes), lower body (11 minutes), abs & core (11 minutes) and cool-down (3 minutes) The bonus are Love Your Honeymoon (aka Strip 101), Walk Gracefully (posture tips), and Eat Smart (where I learned I should eat like a bear; i.e., salmon, nuts & berries!) The pre-programs come from the customized sections; they include “Strapless Dress” which gives you a week’s worth of suggested exercises focusing on the upper body (3 days of upper body and 2 days of lower body) and “Hip Hugger Dress” which gives you a week’s worth of suggested exercises focusing on the lower body (3 days of lower body and 2 days of upper body.) This DVD is a keeper!

Fabulous, Quick & Effective Workout!, May 21, 2007

By 

Katherine E. Gonzalez “A Stylish Lawyer” (Washington D.C.) – See all my reviews

  

I wasn’t expecting much from a DVD, but a friend at work had highly recommended this DVD, and she’s in great shape so I figured I’d check it out. The best feature of this DVD is the menu — it allows you to completely customize your workout. You can do a warm up and then one of like 20 routines — which is great for someone like me who gets bored very easily! The moves are easy to pick up and just challenging enough so that you’ll feel them afterwards. I especially like that there are two menus of workouts based on whether you’re wearing a strapless dress (which focuses on the upper body) or a form fitting dress (which focuses on the lower body). A “complete” workout is around 30 minutes, which was perfect – just long enough that you can sneak it in anytime. The girls on the video are upbeat without being annoying, so I never got sick of them like some of those other workout divas who’ve put out DVDs. All in all, this is a great DVD and will definitely help if you do it a few weeks or months before a big event!

A solid workout, December 31, 2007

By

This workout is not for those of you who want a “hard core” workout. It is a good workout but gets monotonous after awhile. It fulfills it’s promise of getting you in shape for a particular event. I think you might get bored if you use it too long after your event has passed (BTW, not just for weddings!). What I like best is that you can arrange the workouts in the order that you prefer them. It’s also set up so you can get quick workouts if necessary. Overall, a good workout DVD and fairly priced. I would recommend it for beginners or intermediates looking to get in shape quickly.

I’ve enjoyed reading this book, preparing several of the brews & infusions, and love the photos presented with the text. It’s been in use since I purchased it and hasn’t yet made it to the bookshelf.

I love this book!, September 11, 2009

By 

Karen A. Sitzberger “Cafeteria Dragon Lady” (De Soto, Missouri) – See all my reviews

  

Terrific book. Has everything you may ever have a question about when it comes to making teas. Very comprehensive and explanatory list of ingredients (with pictures). Wonderful tea recipes for health, diet, or just relaxing. I am just starting to experiment with growing my own herbs and making teas and this book is the bible for it.
