I got this DVD for Christmas, and it is AMAZING!!! Perfect for beginners because the moves are very easy to learn and don't require complicated footwork like many routines. Easy as it is, it also challenges you--it is fast-paced, and there are high-impact and low-impact variations. There is a warm-up interval, a ballet-inspired section, cardio section, sculpting section with hand weights, and a cool-down stretch. The first few times I did the whole work out, I could barely take the stairs on campus the next day, but in only about a month, my flexibility and stamina are much higher, I can see improvement in muscle tone and have lost pounds! The instructor is up-beat, but not grating and annoying like Kathy Smith, although the background music takes on a bizarre Russian dance-like beat at one point. It also includes a bonus section called total body turnaround, which provides a farther sculpting segment that can be repeated 2 or 3 times. All in all, a FANTASTIC way to get in shape!

This workout will really raise your heart rate, especially if you follow the high impact sets. The moves are easy to learn and enjoyable. The instructor Ellen Barrett has been an inspiring guide toward my fitness goals. This workout does not disappoint, you learn to move your body with grace, confidence and posture while using proper breathing technique to compliment the movements. The assisting instructors are easy to follow, one always showing the low impact versions of each set.
This workout is filmed on a white sandy beach, a beautiful backdrop to inspire you towards shaping up for summer clothing. This is my third DVD purchase from the SELF series, all three have the same professional, thorough and polished quality. Very well done!!

I just repurchased this DVD Self: Slim and Sleek with Ellen Barrett and its A MUST HAVE for your workout collection! The music and background are relaxing while the exercises are effective and fun. What I like about Ellen is she switches up the repetitions and varies the moves so its not boring. I also have the Self Bikini Ready Fast workout with Ellen Barrett. I highly recommend these 2 workouts. The Bikini Ready is equally relaxing with effective exercises although the Slim and Sleek is more fast paced and requires alot more energy. I'm in my mid-40s now and I find myself coming back to these 2 DVDs because the "see the results in just 4 weeks" advertising is "spot on". After doing these 2 workouts for the past 11 years I don't find Ellen Barrett at all annoying which happens when you do the same workouts day in and day out with same instructor. Ellen's cuing and instruction is flawless and flows. Don't delay purchase these 2 workouts today!

Love it!
This is a fun and girly workout! A little girly, because it contains a set of ballet-inspired moves :) I'm actually dripping sweat by the end of it. Read more
