Certified instructor description: A fluid blend of stretching and strengthening exercises designed to give you toned muscles, sleek lines and everyday flexibility. You’ll start with gently flowing sequences of dancer-inspired movements. Each series smoothly transitions through multiple muscles and techniques (e.g. Ellen begins with a plié squat, shifts into a warrior lunge and then adds a bicep curl). The moves are almost cardio — fast-paced with a full range of motion. The ending floorwork segment is exceptionally comprehensive and varied. It works your lower body, abs and back in every possible angle, plane and position. Requires 2 to 4 lb. dumbbells. Excellent cuing and detailed instruction on a bright, airy set. ©2010. DVD has: Chapter menus, Wide screen.

Ellen Barrett's Skinny Sculpt
Great Alternative to Weight Lifting
This workout rocks! It wore me out which was not what I was expecting with 3 lb weights. It is 3rd in my rotation and try to do it twice a week. Really felt it in my legs the next day. They felt so stretched and limber. Luv..Luv Ellen! - posted by Angi on 2/5/2012

Skinny Sculpt
Like the other studio dvd's, I love her collection. Only drawback is the abs routine, very hard on my lower back. Would love to see her show some adaptations for lower back suffers like myself. Other than that, easy on joints and love to workout barefoot! - posted by MG on 2/3/2012

Good Video
This one is a keeper! - posted by Janet on 2/2/2012

Love this workout!
I love this dvd, as well as Grace & Gusto and Power Fusion. I rotate those 3 dvds & look forward to doing them everyday. I'm 63 & since I've been working out with Ellen, I feel better than ever & I'm seeing results! I hope she comes out with more live workouts. - posted by Lyn on 2/2/2012

LOVE THIS WORKOUT!
I am glad I purchased this. I really like Ellen. She is a great instructor. It is easy to learn and pick up. Don't use weights past 4 lbs. or else you will tire quick. I also like that it is only 45 minutes, shorter than the one I was previously doing. Great to have in your stash of videos and for rotation. Ellen, you rule. - posted by Kim on 1/26/2012

Intense workout!
This is a great, challenging workout! Ellen Barrett is a very good instructor. This workout targets all areas and really gets me sweating and working hard. Feeling stronger after about three times using this video. Definitely recommend it. - posted by Roseann on 1/19/2012

love it
I really enjoyed this workout- Ellen is very pleasant and I found the workout to be moderately challenging but relaxing as well, which is a nice change from more intense "in your face" workouts. - posted by Maria on 1/6/2012

I like this DVD
I first bought an Ellen Barrett DVD where she did pilates and yoga together. I decided to look for other DVD's of hers because I find that her workouts are good for the over 50 crowd. She does numeral repetitions with lighter weights. I am 56 and when I went to my last checkup I asked my doctor how should I change my workout because I was very sore doing the workouts I have been doing for the last 10 years. She told me cardio and light weights with more repetitions was the best. The DVD does that exactly and it does make me sweat. I have barefoot cardio but haven't tried it yet. I would recommend this DVD, keep moving baby boomers. - posted by Georgann on 1/5/2012

Nice change of pace
I love this workout! Ellen is always pleasant, soft spoken and perfect with her cues. The music is soothing and perfect for this workout. I like that there are some moves I have not seen in other DVD's, and I was surprised to find my heart rate pretty elevated at times. I would have liked a little more lower body exercises, but I truly enjoy this workout and recommend it! - posted by Ritela on 1/3/2012

Love this!
I love this workout!! It quickly became one of my favorites right after I got it. You get good overall toning, with some strength incorporated to keep you long and lean. I really like Ellen as an instructor. She's not annoying at all and I always feel great after finishing this workout. It's a little longer than I normally prefer, but it's worth it. - posted by Jen on 12/30/2011

Your review will appear on this site within 2-3 days as long as it fits our guidelines. We do NOT post reviews that:

Use profanity, obscenities or are just plain mean-spirited.
Are single word critiques -- readers need to know why you liked or didn't like the workout.
Include non-Collage phone numbers, addresses, URLs, or pricing information.
Are written in all-caps -- it just seems like screaming.
Do not appear to be genuine, honest and helpful to others.
Are personal attacks on the instructor or on other video reviewers (i.e. posts that do not primarily discuss the content of this video).

Note: Please do the video a few times before you write a review so you're sure about your long-term opinion. And try to be specific about what you liked, or didn't. For example on a video, "Hard to follow" might mean you thought the video was poorly cued. Or it might just mean that it has complex choreography.

Also, it's helpful to give a little information about yourself (e.g. your fitness level, style preferences, age). It will help others better understand your comments.

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.

Chapter menus

You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).

Wide screen
