Ellen Barrett's Barefoot Cardio |
    Best Workout I Have Done!!! |
| I have been working out off and on for over 10 years. I usually start off with an advanced level, high impact video and fizzle out after a while. This workout, while low impact, made me sweat and raised my heart rate, but what made me say WOW was how great I felt during and after this workout. I will be able to stick to this video, as well as Slim Sculpt, for a long time. I am now a huge fan of Ellen Barrett who taught me you don't have to feel exhausted to care for your health. - posted by Jamillah on 3/2/2010 |

    This really is a feel good workout. |
| This workout has really grown on me. I first I thought it was a little boring, but it really did feel good to do it. It is easy and relaxing, but it did get my heart rate up because of the continuous long movements. You use your arms as much as your legs to increase the intensity. I felt so stretched and relaxed at the end. Now I look forward to my "barefoot days" with Ellen. She has such a pleasant personality. She's great! - posted by Bonnie S. Hamilton on 2/27/2010 |

    great change |
| I liked this video very much, very easy I was sweating quickly but could keep up, a little bit boring with the music and the same routine, but I will continue with it as I felt it thru my whole body I felt great afterward and is worth doing. You must pay close attention to where your feet and knees are placed, but that is a good thing you are getting in touch with your body!!!! - posted by cathy on 2/22/2010 |

    Great Workout, Ellen! |
| Great, challenging workout. I am one of six women who have exercised together for 10 years. We are from age 50 to 73 and are crazy for Ellen's workout dvds. We call Wednesdays our barefoot/ballet day. She excels in an easy to follow and low impact workout. Because of bad knees, backs, hips, etc., we appreciate her making us sweat in an acceptable manner. - posted by Joy on 2/13/2010 |

    Love this workout! |
| This is a great workout. I love doing cardio barefoot! Ellen is such a pleasure to workout with. I have Ellen's Fat Burning Fusion and it's one of my favorite workouts. Barefoot Cardio is similar to Fat Burning Fusion and just as fun! - posted by Dani on 2/12/2010 |

    I really loved this! |
| This workout was really great. Not too intense but also not easy. I absolutely love being barefoot and I love how she focuses on stretching the back and spine in many of the exercises. Usually when I am done with a workout I need to stretch out my back but in this workout my back was already nicely stretched out by the end. GREAT!!!! Loved it!!! My favorite Ellen workout so far! - posted by Lori on 2/11/2010 |

    Awesome !!! |
| I'm 63 Years Old & I've Used Leslie Sansone's Videos For Years And They've Been Great. But Ellen's Barefoot Cardio Is Excellent For A Great Change Of Pace And I Love The Fact That I Don't Have To Wear Shoes. I Received The Video Feb 02 Along W/ The Skinny Sculpt And Did Both In One Setting. I Was Drenched W/ Sweat When I Finished & I Couldn't Do All The Moves But I Still Felt Great. So I Decided To Alternate One A Day And I'm Doing The Movements Much Better Now. Ellen Is Great W/ Her Instructions. Very Easy To Follow & Know What's Coming Next. They Get Easier As You Do Them & I'm Working Just As Much Of A Sweat As When I'm Doing Leslie's. Muscles Are Slightly Sore....But Not Painful. Some Movements Are A Little Hard Re My Right Knee, But I Just Hold Onto A Chair For Support...But My Balance Is Getting Better :-). I'll Be Mixing These W/ My Leslie Sansone's And I Plan On Ordering The "Yogini" As Soon As I Master These A Little Better. I Also Plan On Trying Pilates. The Clips Are Great For Reviewing So You Sort Of Know What You're Getting. This Website Is The Best Re Exercise Videos I've Found. - posted by Patricia on 2/8/2010 |

    I LIKE IT, BUUUUT... |
| As always, I did like this workout by Ellen, but I found it just a little boring. But in her defense, I am still nursing a sore knee, so as I feel better I will work harder at it. That will probably make a difference. I just love her easy going persona, and she tones and stretches at the same time. I do hope however, that when my knee is 100% that this workout will get my heartrate up a little more. Overall, I like it, and will definitely use it. I am 58, and need something like this that is effective, but easier on my joints. I wish that other reviewers would reveal their age; I think that would give everyone an even better idea as to whether a workout is appropriate for them. Thanks for listening! - posted by Barbara on 2/7/2010 |

    Nice |
| I was a little disappointed in this at first. It was not love at first sight like the others, but after doing it a second time I found it very nice. It is a nice addition to her studio series. I am a big fan of Ellen Barrett and her studio workouts. I always feel energized and good after her workouts, not beat up as with some other instructors. I know it's silly to mention, but I do miss the studio she used in her previous videos. - posted by Laura on 2/6/2010 |

    Great for my feet! And the rest of me too :) |
| I seemed to be developing plantar fasciitis & was finding that I could barely walk after doing my workouts, especially the following morning. So I began looking for an effective workout that wouldn't destroy my feet. When I saw the "Barefoot Cardio" title I was immediately intrigued, & after reading the description & reviews, decided I had to try it. I was very impressed with the workout & found I was working out my muscles in a new way & also feeling as though I was getting an excellent cardio workout. I loved it so much, I immediately ordered Skinny Sculpt, Slim Sculpt & Fat Burning Fusion. Which I began rotating through - I work out 6-7 days a week (sometimes taking Saturday off). After almost a month, my feet feel almost like new! I love that Ellen actually works out your feet along with the rest of your body. I feel wonderful after doing her workouts, and very womanly :) I love Ellen, she has a great personality, is an excellent instructor, and if you focus on the muscle movements like you're supposed to, you will get a first rate workout. Also her set is so serene & beautiful. Can't say enough about these workouts, I am loving them! - posted by Tracey on 2/3/2010 |
