I agree with a previous review in that the vhs version is worthless. I wish I'd gotten the dvd. The vhs order is impractical..bootcamp, pilates(abs), ballet, kickboxing, yoga I think is how it goes. I don't think any of these is suitable for an absolute beginner, at least not until they preview it because a lot of instruction disappears and transition times are cut WAY down to keep each workout to 10 minutes. I like the yoga and pilates and I don't like to rewind all the time or search for the next section. I think the pilates is challenging..you start off simple...breathing in and out so many breaths then all of a sudden you fly through the rest nonstop. the bootcamp is pretty good too, but have a chair and your weights handy because it's pretty much non-stop too..I've only done this workout maybe 2 times but it does a pretty good job for 10 minutes. The ballet is nice. all standing with a chair for ballance..she throws in some ballet terms but all is done pretty much by the chair..not dancing across the room. The kickboxing would be neat if you had a dvd and could program it for 2-3 times through maybe. she does the kicks and punches/jabs and talks through the whole thing. I like the yoga for a quick stretch.she does a lot of the stretching poses, but since it's only 10 minutes don't expect to relax or get flexible one time through. I like the workout though, but really need the dvd. I have other workouts I like better so I probably won't get the dvd unless I find a great deal on it since I have the vhs set for the pilates most of the time and use other yoga workouts I have and like better since I like to stretch longer most of the time. I do forward to it sometimes. If all you want is a quick yoga type cooldown then you may want the dvd for this purpose. For the price difference there's no sense in messing with the vhs version...get the dvd.

Instructor Comments:
She seems ok..sorta perky but not bad in my opinion. She wears different outfits in each section to break up the monotony.
