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!

"You: The Owner's Manual Workout" is a DVD containing two short & basic dumbbell workouts, one short cardio workout, and a very quick nutrition recipe section.

1. Level 1 dumbbell workout (about 32 minutes)

Two light handweights (or dumbbells) are used. Joel Harper instructs Deborah through a series of mostly basic light dumbbell moves. Sometimes high repetitions are used. Stretches are integrated throughout the workout.

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.

Quinoa salad

Cashew whipped cream

The DVD is easy to understand and the workouts can fit into anyones schedule, you don't need to go to a gym.

This is another one of Joel's workouts, and as usual, they're JUST GREAT!

Joel always has something new to show you and I love them because they're

short and get the job done, plus you don't need any equipment to do them.

I have almost all of Joel's workouts and rotate them so I get something

different each time. I highly recommend them!!You: The Owner's Manual Workout

This book has a lot of good information in it. A fun read from beginning to end.

I liked the book so much I sent a copy to my Brother and one to my Sister.
