This review is from: You: The Owner's Manual Workout (DVD)

i'm a fan of joel's and the "you" series. the other titles have all used your own body weight. this adds low weight/hi reps. it pretty basic stuff but you never stop moving, so you definately will build a sweat. it also has a cardio portion, around 30min. mixed impact, some old school moves....but they work. as always, joel is very encouraging and he know his stuff!

Here are the exercises and stretches.

Hug yourself stretch
One arm row
Kickbacks

2. Level 2 dumbbell workout (about 31 minutes)
This workout is similar to Level 1, with many of the same exercises. Holding positions and more higher repetitions are added. As you progress, heavier weights are used. Mr. Harper instructs and is the sole performer.

3. Cardio workout (about 24 minutes)
Mr. Harper instructs one male and one female through a short and mostly low impact aerobic workout, with a few high impact moves. It includes stretches and arm movements. Beginner, intermediate, and advanced versions are shown.

4. Nutrition segment. (about 9 and half minutes)
Joel Odhner shows four very quick recipes.
