Great relaxing workout

This tape is phenomenal.  I never thought I could find an ab workout relaxing, but that's exactly what this tape offers.  There's a strong focus on breathing and some of the new age things you come to expect with yoga, but it definately provides a great ab workout in a short amount of time.
Yee's voice is soothing and he's very discriptive about what he's doing so it's easy to follow along.  There are no insane poses that are impossible for beginners.  I have problems with my lower back, but I have no difficulties at all doing any of these poses.  You have options other than the boring standard crunches and situps and it's wonderfully refreshing.
If you're a little more advanced, this may not be the best tape for you, but if you're just starting out or if you're looking for something specifically for your abs to ad to your program, this is great.  I found that I can do my more rigorous tapes during the day and do this just before bed.
If you're limited on time and would like to do some type of exercise at night, but don't want to get too wound up that you can't sleep, this is a great tape for you.  It's short.  It does what it promises and it's relaxing.

I've been really stressed lately because I'm making many changes in my life. Once I get into a good routine I'm sure I'll feel better. In the meantime I'm looking for easy ways to de stress. This DVD is perfect if you want to sample various forms of relaxation.

The program starts with an easy-to-follow Tai Chi routine to calm the nervous system. It is not as complex as other Tai Chi videos I've done in the past. By the end I was really feeling the stress melt away.

Next there is a yoga routine that is quite invigorating. Sun salutations cause you to breathe more deeply. This is followed by a very short section on meditation. It only gives you a small tastes of what is possible.

The last section is about self massage, although it only focuses on the head, neck and shoulders. Also for half ot it you need a partner. It would have been better if they had showed how to massage your own shoulders. It was also easier to do the head massage when lying on your back. No instructions are given for the rest of the body.

Overall, this is a relaxing DVD filled with good ideas. The crashing waves and ocean scenery makes this beautiful. The music is also very pleasant.

I can think of many ways this DVD could be expanded and improved. I especially think there should be an entire section on full-body stretching. But it is what it is and it does help you relax.

If you want to go further with Yoga I can recommend&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Crunch-Candlelight-Yoga/dp/B00006FMB2/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Crunch - Candlelight Yoga</a>

I bought this after hearing rave reviews from people that are not even going through their post pregnancy phase. Its a great workout in addition to her other, a great ab workout. Relaxing and calming for those who have just had a baby. Not too strenuous either. Highly recommend

This is a great 40 minute workout that incorporates balance and flexibilty into its program. It isn't exhausting and you feel great and energized after your workout. I highly recommend Crunch Burn and Firm Pilates for anyone.

What a great DVD workout!  Loved it..  Haven't been working out lately but thought I could do all 3 levels first day, wrong!  Made it through the first level with warm up and cool down, and felt great, but there were some difficult areas because I was not up to par. I could hardly walk the next day !  I could see how it might get boring, so I'm glad I bought the 2 other dvds to mix it up.  I'm not a big fan of Yoga, so the cool down part isn't fun, but it's only 5 minutes!  Overall, very satisfied!

I've enjoyed most of Denise Austin's DVDs, this is just one more I've added to my collection--a really easy, but sweat-inducing workout!  There's nothing too complicated about it, just constant movement, which is what I like!
The steps aren't too hard to learn, and if you miss a step you can just keep moving and jumping till you get back on track--a lot of fun!

This is a very interesting and easy to follow DVD that seems so simple yet really gives you a workout! The music and pace are very relaxing and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I haven't done the
2nd workout yet, but if it's as good as the 1st one, I definitely got my money's worth out of the DVD's. Great instructor and the directions are easy to learn and follow even for an uncoordinated person like me!

I found this DVD to be just what I hoped it would be.  Exercises are easy and beneficial.  The best part is the feeling that you are not doing them alone.

I liked this DVD . I  used it  with the walk strong 2.0 challenge it was a wonderful way to end a workout . However for me this was used for a relaxing yoga stretch . I did not use the chair but it was nice that Jessica thinks of all fitness levels .

This is one of my favorite exercise DVDs. I bought it right after Christmas and do some of the segments every day or every other day and can really tell a difference. Jessica is one of my favorite instructors because she uses a variety of exercises to reduce boredom and explains things very well. I also have her abs diet workout and women's health workout and like those a lot!

This is a great workout for me. I always feel so much better after I finish this. Byb Bye Back Pain and Anti Arthritis are perfect sections for me. I feel relaxed and I'm able to keep my pain level under control for several hours after doing this workout.
I love the SaTaNaMa meditation.
This is just an overall great workout to keep yourself healthy and relaxed.
Just wish it had the matrix menu, but I'm not complaining because it is great just like all of their workouts.

Good workout that is not too hard. I use it when I need to take a break from my hardcore cardio, but I still defiantly feel it from the weights!  This is not my favorite of the Ellen dvds, but it is a good workout and love that all exercises are performed barefoot.

Great workout and fun!! Justca slight incline makes it work goiing up  hill and fun on the way down.  I am a tad over 50 and use it.

Although the package for this workout bills it as "liquid barefoot cardio" (who could resist trying that??) it's not much of a cardio routine, as it barely got my heartrate elevated. But... I'd still give it four stars, as this is a wonderful routine for stretching and lengthening muscles and relieving stress. I love doing these movements, and use the workout on lighter days to stretch out and reduce stress. I find that I really look forward to this workout, especially after a few harder days of working out. There are also some great lower body exercises toward the end of the routine.

I really enjoyed this DVD.  The first workout is great for stretching and for beginners and the second one really gets you sweating and is a great work out.  I was actually kind of bummed that he only has 3 DVDs.  I may have to buy this DVD for my mom as well.  She loves it.
