I was sceptical about any fitness video staring a supermodel but this was not too bad. This video mixes basic streching with yoga type moves that help you with balance and posture. I like this because many yoga videos (even beginner ones) seem a little too advanced if you've never done yoga before. For me this was a good transistional tape. It helped me to acheive a better level of flexability and made me more comfortable with yoga. Elle is a little cheesy but if you get past that it's worth giving a try.

I loved this exercise video. The entire group of 3. It's too bad I lent mine out to someone years ago. I've been looking for it everywhere. SI needs to re release the set! I wanted to buy it for my mom for her birthday, but oh well! They are so much fun.

Overall the video was great. Though the person operating the camera was not that good because in the beginning there are to many close ups and you have a hard time following along. About ten minutes into the video they seem to find another camera person and you can watch all the moves and follow along as well. Though they say this video is for all stages, I mainly think it is for intermediates.

I loved the one with Cheryl Tiegs on the cover. Did it everyday for a long time and it made a great difference in my health, weight and figure. But it's not available on DVD. I never use VHS anymore. I hope it's released on DVD.

I let a relative borrow this video and I haven't seen it again!
Gotta replace it because it's the most relaxing stretch I have ever experienced - for both before and after aerobics or weight training. Very enjoyable to follow along with because the class seems to really enjoy it as well.
