Ellen Barrett's Flat Belly Workout: Express Belly Blast |
  Another Good Flat Belly Video! |
| I also have her "walking" Flat Belly Workout. I do these a couple times a week. Easy to follow, pleasant music, what's not to like? - posted by Alice on 1/26/2012 |

| My Goto Video When Arthritis Flares |
| I unfortunately have developed arthritis in my right foot and knee and on days when it flares up the pain is excruciating - unless you have it you can't imagine it. This is now my go to video on those days. The video is low impact enough to get the blood flowing to the joints, and it is setup perfectly for those with arthritis. First you get a low impact warm up, a low impact cardio segment followed up by some yoga/stretching exercises, the perfect combination in the right order. Don't be fooled though, although it is low impact it is a challenging workout - the best of both workouts :). - posted by Herbie on 11/11/2011 |

| Great Instructor! |
| This is the second Ellen Barrett DVD I have purchased and I love them both. She is so pleasant and her instruction is so easy to follow. It's a very nice well rounded workout for the amount of time you exercise. It has everything you need, including cardio, some toning, yoga and cool down. Definitely worth purchasing! - posted by Linda on 4/19/2011 |

| Love Ellen! |
| Ellen Barrett is one of the best instructors I've found. She has a pleasant manner, good cuing, and she is motivational without the "drill sergeant" attitude. The moves in this dvd are effective yet they don't wipe you out! I have Ellen's Skinny Sculpt dvd and I feel the same way about that routine. She's great, and her programs are, too! For informational and comparison purposes, I am 57 years old, have been doing various exercise programs since I was 20 (I have all the FIRM tapes/dvds, TaBo, and many others), and I can still see results from each new Ellen Barrett workout. - posted by Isabel on 3/24/2011 |

| Its a great quick workout |
| After having a baby I needed something to help with the belly area. I do not have a lot of time as with almost everyone out there. This does what it says. I can't give it a complete 5 star because I have not worked with it too long but so far so good. Ellen Barrett videos are easy to follow, she gives great cues and not too over the top. I love her style. - posted by Jan on 1/13/2011 |

| Awesome |
| I have several other Ellen Barrett videos and I like this one just as much as the others. As always, Ellen is easy to follow and very pleasant. This video didn't seem too difficult, but yet I was sore the next day (and I'm in good shape.) It's certainly another great one for my collection to mix things up and keep me from hitting a plateau. There is nothing too tricky or complicated to follow. She just has a good mix of cardio and strength training. I love to burn calories and tone without bulking up. Thanks Ellen! - posted by Elizabeth on 1/11/2011 |

| Great Workout! |
| I received this video yesterday, did it today, and I love it! The cardio is great, not too high impact, had easy to follow moves, and got my heart rate up. The toning is good and kept me sweating. The yoga is okay, very similar to Ellen's Crunch DVD (Super Slimdown PIlates/Yoga blend) but it was a nice ending to the workout. It is a good workout without being too intense. I am an intermediate and prefer workouts that leave me with energized instead of worn out. This workout fit the bill. I will definitely be doing this one often! - posted by Lora on 9/22/2010 |

| really like this |
| Diversified, yet easy to follow. The first part is cardio, followed by some yoga. Then a cool down. Nothing too fast to follow and you bend your abs and do leg lifts to target the belly. I actually like this one better than the other flat belly dvd of hers. In the other one, she changes the moves so much, especially at the end. It doesn't seem to make sense. Like something she just threw together. - posted by patricia on 9/17/2010 |

| Good Core Workout |
| I really like this instructor and her style which is encouraging without being annoying. I liked the music and the cueing is very good. The workout does focus on the core and the belly and the strengthening section is short but effective. I would say that the exercise level is more intermediate than beginner but I suppose that depends on one's perception and how one feels about high or low impact aerobics. I exercise daily and like a challenge but my knees do not appreciate high impact-I am able to break a good sweat with this workout without choosing that alternative! One minor complaint: I would generally choose the "play all" selection for this workout but for some reason the yoga(done without shoes)was placed before the cool-down(done with shoes)so this is somewhat inconvenient. - posted by Philamena on 9/13/2010 |

| I thought this would be too easy, but I was wrong! |
| This gave me a very good sweaty workout in a short amount of time. I'm in my 50's and consider myself intermediate. The high impact segments aren't so much impact that you can't do them, but they definitely add to the intensity. The short toning segment that followed kept my heartrate up. Nice yoga and stretches at the end. I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 because the cardio segment might get boring if you do this workout often. - posted by Veronica on 9/3/2010 |
