Ellen Barrett Slim Sculpt

Ellen Barrett as an instructor is not my favorite, but she provides a good workout.

Three pounds have never felt so heavy!  I love that light weights can be so challenging.  There are times during this workout that are extremely difficult, and all I want is to just drop my three pound dumbbells and just take a nice relaxing breath.  The second half of this workout (more accurately probably the last third) is much easier.

My only negative comment for this workout is that she says over and over how flattering it is to use light weights because it does not create bulk.  It is such a pet peeve of mine when women are afraid of lifting weights, and by her saying that I feel like she's slightly promoting such thoughts.  This is just my opinion, but I think toned women look fantastic.  It's sexy, not manly.  Women and men are different.  Women get lean lifting weights, not bulky!
