Ellen Barrett rotation
I think this may have been asked in the past.
I was considering buying Brazil Butt Lift this morning (the Deluxe Kit with all the workouts). Then I was thinking how much I love Ellen's workouts. I've done mostly her workouts in the last year or 2. If a person was to only do Ellen's workouts, could you get a transformation like you would if you were to do P90X, Brazil Butt Lift, Slim in 6, etc? Are her workouts enough to get a complete transformation? Also, if anyone has BBL, can you please tell me what you think of it. There weren't many reviews for it in the reviews section. Thanks! |
I think YMMV. I personally think you can have some really nice results with Ellen but you won't look like someone who has done P90X~it won't build a lot of muscle like that. P90X isolates the muscles more and uses much heavier resistance. Ellen works different muscles in conjunction with one another with much lighter resistance to get a great ROM.
For me personally, I'll never do P90X but will do Ellen. Just what I like/don't like and how my body will allow my to lift. I also find my results are more based on what I do in the kitchen rather than which workouts I do or don't do. |
I think Ellen is great for flexibility and muscle toning - not anything like P90X, etc,. where you work your muscles to exhaustion so the fibers will break down and the muscle gets larger as it's repaired.
Of course, seeing a 'transformation' from Ellen depends what your starting point is. Someone just starting to work out probably will be transformed - but not into a P90X body. |
I lost a lot of weight a couple of years ago and the main workouts I was doing consisted of Ellen, Turbo Jam, walking, and a few days of weight training. I found Ellen's workouts really rounded out my workouts, not sure if I would have lost weight just doing her workouts, but they definitely help to build the core, tighten things up a little, etc.
A couple of months ago there was a success story on Collage and I think she did mostly Ellen's workouts and lost quite a bit of weight. I will have to see if I can find it. Here it is: Collage Success Story |
has anyone ever monitored their calorie burn with her workouts. Just curious about how much her workouts burn.

I just want to point out that it does not always help to focus on the calorie burn during a workout. I lost a lot of weight (at a much slower pace, but still lost weight), by only during workouts that burned between 100-200 calories per day. I think a slow steady pace is a great way to lose weight and if you consistently do Ellen's workouts you will get there. Those other workouts that claim to burn 500-1000 calories per workout sound great, but I cannot do those kind of workouts every day so ultimately they don't help the number on the scale move.

I don't burn 500-1000 doing ANY workout- at least not during the typical hourish that I do. Even doing Tonique or any other more vigorus cardio-esque/circuit workout I usually burn in the 400s for one hour. I'd have to extend my workout time and I would be exhausted so what is the point?
