Attitude Tu: Ballet Pilates Fusion |
 Attitude Tu develops your both your inner and outer beauty |
| I just love Bernadette's new Attitude Tu. I've thoroughly enjoyed her first dvd and was quite content with it, but have to say that her new one bumps things up a notch or two. There is a bit more of an aerobic element to this one, with the use of the bands and weighted ball. The band is awesome for your sholders and arms, but also helps to remind you to pay attention to your core while doing the standing work. The bands also help with balance while doing those side lunges. I just feel so graceful while I'm doing the standing workout, and at the same time know I'm getting a powerful workout, all over. The mat work is amazing. The mat attitudes work out your lower abdomen like nothing else, and her oblique and side lying series rocks! Calm cuing, visual appeal,inspirational quotations between sets, serene music, and a nice post workout stretch, all make for a workout that I look forward to and feel ten times better after having done it, in both body and spirit. Thank you Bernadette, and also to her beavy of beauties behind her! - posted by June on 7/13/2008 |

| A Valuable substitute for when I am unable to attend class |
| There are a few reasons why I enjoy Bernadette's methods of teaching. One is the variety of equipment and actual exercises. I never feel like I'm constantly repeating the same thing. Another reason is the way Bernadette talks you through the work out. I find myself correcting myself as she gives pointers on the proper form and movement as we go through the exercise. Doing the tape/class is a total body workout. When I am done, not only do I feel as though I've worked hard and are more aware of my posture but I actually enjoyed it!! - posted by Merle on 7/10/2008 |

| There are so many things that I enjoy when doing Bernadette's video. First and most importantly Bernadette's instruction is very easy to follow and keeps me motivated. She is a master at what she does! I love how she uses a variety of props. I found that my legs have benefited the most. As a personal trainer, I would highly recommend this to all my clients! - posted by Tara on 7/9/2008 |

| Love the workout. Studying dance with a focus on Ballet for more than 30 years this workout applies the training used to "find your center" or core muscles as in Pilates focusing on controlled and deliberate movements. Adding bands and weighted balls helps to build strength and establish balance. This workout leaves me walking, standing and sitting taller throughout my day. - posted by Monna on 7/9/2008 |

| Be the dancer you always wanted to be in the privacy of your home, |
| I enjoy watching the always graceful Bernadette and pretend I look the same but in reality... I found this workout extremely helpful in firming my "older" arms and stomach. When following the video routinely, I find a marked increase in my energy level. An excellent full body workout. - posted by Sandy on 7/9/2008 |

| Great workout |
| I really liked Bernadette's Attitude video. But, this Attitude Tu is even better. I have been taking pilates classes twice a week for about 4 years. I especially liked working with the bands and balls. The bands are great for resistance and using the balls really help me focus on using the right muscles. It was a really great total body workout, with a great concentration on the abs. - posted by Dorothy on 7/9/2008 |

| Attitude TU!! |
| I just purchased this DVD and LOVE IT. First of all, I work out all the time, as well as play golf and tennis several times a week each, so I consider myself to be in decent shape. However, my heart was POUNDING while I was doing this workout. i was kind of surprised at how challenging it was, since Bernadette and her crew make it look so easy. I loved the music - very zen-like and calming. I also thought the colors were beautiful in the background and on the quote pages. I purchased Bernadette Giorgi's first video, and I find this one to be very different, and therefore a great addition to my home workout routine. I strongly recommend it as a "BUY". - posted by Eileen on 6/24/2008 |

| Peaceful fusion workout |
| I thought this was a nice ballet fusion workout. I thought the music was appropriate for the workout. Bernadette's cuing was good but sometimes the camera shots and angles weren't good. This was a fast paced workout. While I liked using the band for upper body, I would have liked Bernadette to have used the toning balls more possibly in the standing work segments. I did enjoy the pilates mat section using the toning ball very interesting. The set did not bother me for I enjoy Charlene's With Every Step which has the same white background. However Bernadette did include some pink curtains off to the right side but it is not visible in every camera shot. In this workouts white background as in Charlene's you cannot tell the floor from the back wall that might disturb some people. While I enjoyed this workout alot I would have liked it to have been more advanced than Bernadette's first workout. I find Kari's Reach to be more advanced than this workout. Still its nice to have a variety of fusion workouts even if they are not all advanced level. - posted by NA/AWA on 6/19/2008 |
