If you are looking for a fun, pilates/ballet inspired workout, this is it! You'll look (and feel) leaner, longer and more flexible. Ellen's cuing is deliberate and concise, making it easy to follow. She also encourages good form which will benefit beginners and ensure participants get the maximum toning benefit from the moves. --videofitness.com

I am a big fan of Ellen Barrett's, and have been for a couple of years. My favorite routine of her's, up to now, was the one she created for FitTV's "All Star Workouts" called Zen Sculpt. My next favorite, also from "All Star Workouts" was her Slow-robics. This new DVD, "Fat Burning Fusion" is from Ellen's Buff Girl Fitness productions, and does not disappoint! It is a great workout from start to finish, and is very challenging and tough if done correctly. You will get out of it what you put in to it. Her focus is not always on what is moving, but what isn't moving.
A little note about Ellen's style...she isn't for those who want a bulky physique. She is more about elongating and strengthening the muscles for a lean and feminine dancer's body. Her routines blend Plilates with dance, with mind/body integration. The entire program works all areas of the body--the powerhouse, the heart center, and the limbs. So, you burn calories, build muscle, and stretch through each move smoothly and gracefully. You will feel this the next day--especially in the legs and glutes.
Working out with Ellen is not easy, but it is gentle to the body. If you want hard-core cardio, with lots of jumping around and kick-boxing, she's not for you. If you want to look like Cathe Friedrich, Ellen won't get you there. However, if you want to be toned, flexible, long and lean, she's your gal. Done on a regular basis, you will see results. This is Ellen at her very best-great cuing, easy explanations, and fun!

I enjoy this workout more each time I do it. It features a great combination of strength, flexibility, and cardio if you really put in the effort.
I also like that it's a barefoot, low impact workout. No special equipment needed.
Ellen is a master at easing you into some high intensity moves and then backing off just in time. I also like how she lets the music set the rhythm in all of her dvd's.
Buy it!

I bought this video thinking it would be an easier workout for those days I didn't want the high intensity. WRONG! It gave me a great workout, left me feeling stretched out, and quite energized. Great for the lower body. It was graceful and flowing. Highly Recommend!

Yawn.
I love Ellen Barrett. This one was a little too slow and beginner for me. Was hoping for more than an hour long warm up.

A wonderful DVD!
I love working out with Ellen; she's really focused, instructs clearly, and keeps the exercises varied enough so you don't get bored. This one is definitely one of the best.

Love this DVD!
This might be my all time favorite DVDs of Ellen's. This is a great combo of pilates, yoga, dance, stretching, toning, and breathing. Love this DVD. It's in my weekly rotation.

This video is good for the days when I'm feeling lazy but still want to do something. There's no jumping, so it's good for days when my knees are acting up (I'm 18 and yes, my... Read more
