I try not to be too, too superstitious, but every now and then, the universe organizes its messages a little too neatly.

Alia Thabit, who tells me … Continue reading And sometimes the universe tells you to dance
Aziza’s oft-repeated wisdom is: “Be amazed.” At one point while I was doing this video, I thought: “Dude, if I found my body doing what hers is doing, in the way that hers is doing it, I sure would be amazed!” When you see the title of the DVD, namely Hands, Arms & Poses, you … Continue reading Review of Aziza’s Hands, Arms & Poses

Suzanne herself is not visibly pregnant in the video, and there’s almost no “baby” talk. She does tell you to take rests and get water more frequently than … Continue reading Review of Suzanne Bowen’s Long and Lean Prenatal Workout
During one of my little forays to Half Price Books, I noticed two of the Bar Method DVDs. They were priced a little higher than their other workout DVDs, so I let them pass, but once I got home and saw how well-reviewed, pricey (and nearly unavailable on Amazon) they are, I went right back … Continue reading A method to the barness – The Bar Method: Change Your Body
