Has anyone tried these? I was looking through my Collage video guide and came across them and wondered what they were like.

I did see it. It is very nice for visual. But I don't think you can get much workout from there. Also, it is much more for toning. There is #2 came out. I did not get a chance to see it.

Hope this helps.

Maybe it is just that I am used to Cathe's style but they were to slow pased for me. If you go to amazon.com they have user reviews of a bunch of different workout videos so that might give you a good idea of if they are right for you or not. A lot of people seemed to really like it.
 
i have #2... but i've never done it!

cute work out clothes are good for AT LEAST an additional 10-15 calories burned!
 
I just returned this to the Library. I checked it out last week, watched some of it yesterday, and took it back. It is too slow for me. I'm sure it is good for toning, if you like something slow paced. I don't know what it is, but I like to keep moving at a good tempo whether it's with weights, running, whatever...
 
I checked the first one out from the library and tried it at one point to see if I was interested in buying it--decided against buying it. For me at least, the workout wasn't intense enough to be aerobic, and the exercises and instructions on the DVD weren't enough for me to use it as a supplement to the weekly ballet class that I already take. All the form pointers that I needed were in the descriptions in the book, and I just couldn't try to workout and follow the tape and read at the same time. I do know, however, that some people record the instructions on the book onto a tape and then listen to that tape while watching the video. Anyhow, for me at least, it wasn't worth it--I got a good warm up and stretch from it, but that was it. Amazon.com has some more thorough customer reviews, though.
