I may do the workout she did w/ Elle tomorrow - I think it is on You Tube, although I do have a VHS copy. I wish that one had made it to DVD.

It is on YT. That's the one I did - Your Personal Best aka The Body in Australia I believe. I still have the VHS too

It was released on DVD - just not in the US. From memory there were issues with the music copyright in the US.

Yes, I did her workout with Elle because of this thread!

I love the music in this workout.

I bought the DVD a few years ago from Amazon UK. You do need a Region 2 or All Region DVD player. I never did buy the proper DVD player but I did make a good MP4 video from it.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...A2QA9N4DIAST0P

USD cost including shipping to the US is about $12.

I have always thought that Karen did a really good job picking music for her workouts. I have had a number of them over the years but didn't hang onto them for whatever reason. As I age she is another instructor I could see myself migrating back to. I have always liked her and her personality. She has an amazing figure too.

I remember liking Burn and Firm and her Streamline Fitness DVD. I think there is a DVD that combines the two workouts or something. I have a bunch of stuff to trade maybe I should try and trade for some Karen. In some ways she reminds me of Margaret Richard, her calm mannerisms. Margaret is one of my favorites these days.

Karen has always been a huge favorite of mine. I have always loved her grace, elegance, and professionalism. The first workout video I ever got was one of hers. 4 of her workouts survived the massive purge I did when we downsized for our move last year: Yoga Sculpt, Full Body Stretch, Ballet Body Sculpt, and Pilates Core Power.

I haven't used her DVDs much recently but vow to hold on to them -- her yoga, stretching and core work instruction & form is sublime, and she is just such a great instructor overall. I don't have much time to dabble with a variety of workouts right now but hope to revisit her routines for years to come

Hi,

I did the Elle Macpherson workout this morning -what fun -great scenery and music.

It also made me realize how "back in the day" a workout was actually complete and well thought out with a thorough warm-up and good cool down and stretch. It seems now the new workouts skimp on some details (mostly the warm ups and cool downs). I don't mind adding on a warm up or stretch, but it is nice sometimes to have it all in one self-contained package!

Maybe I should post this as a separate post, but I got to thinking what other "celebrity" workouts are out there?

Off the top of my head:

Cher and Keli Roberts - included step, abs and lower body (and Cher's interesting outfits!)

Three w/ Cindy Crawford and several trainers.

Ali MacGraw workout w/ Eric Schiffman

Recently, fairly recently anyway, the Marisa Tomei workout


Any others?

Donna

I still like the Cindy Crawford ones
There were the Kim Kardashian ones, and the girl from Facts of Life and valerie Bertinelli (this one looked so embarressing!, so never even looked at anything beyond the clip) I am pretty sure there are more older ones
