Kelly Coffey-Meyer's 30-Minutes to Fitness Muscle Definition DVD
Feature: ... NEWEST RELEASE SEPTEMBER 2009! ...more
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-04-19 Summary: Great workout options ... I love this dvd - I alternate between the workout one and two options - both are total body workouts, but different exercises. And I do the ab workout occasionally also. I have other ab dvds that I prefer, but this one is OK to work into the rotation. I really like Kelly's workout style - no nonsense and a good pace. Great DVD! ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-27 Summary: Love it! ... I own most of Kelly's workouts. Some I like better than others. This one is awesome and reminds me of a Cathe workout. It is true that the workouts are longer than the advertised 30 minutes, especially with warmup and cool down, but that's fine by me. Both segments are total body routines. Additionally, there is a separate ab workout. I didn't find it boring at all and the music is quite good too. I'm glad I bought it. It's a great DVD for the advanced exerciser. ...more

I recently moved out of the country, from Los Angeles CA to Aruba, and it is so nice that Cardio Barre offers dvds.

I am here in Aruba and am still getting the great workout that I use to get in the classes. This was a great buy and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to tone ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-04-04 Summary: Effective ... I can't say this workout is "fun", because it's so fast, it's kind of jarring compared to most ballet workouts, but it's very effective and will get you the cardio and toning you need in minimal time. I'm an advanced exerciser and my goal is to maintain a lithe and lean dancer's physique as opposed to a muscular gym rat body. I've been practicing Tracy Anderson's method but like to alternate with other DVDs every other day. To do Tracy Anderson's high impact dance workout as part of the cardio requirements daily is ...more
