Ballet Beautiful: Body Blast [DVD] [Import]

トータルボディがとても良かったので、更に上半身も鍛えようと思って購入しました。 が、特に背中を鍛える足上げのメニューが大層きつく、全部を通すのは無理でした。 かなり軽めの腹筋以外はとても良いメニューだと思うので、もう少しトータルで鍛えてから挑戦しようと思います。

Me encantan los ejercicios de esta mujer. La única pega es que es un dvd de región 1, no apto para reproductores europeos. Resulta necesario un reproductor multirregion.

I love the Ballet Beautiful workouts! They are as tranquil as they are tough. I love the bright white set and the classical music background. I love that MHB speaks gently to motivate instead of getting bossy like "bootcamp" style instructors. Overall the Ballet Beautiful workouts are some of my smartest fitness purchases. You may have noted that there are two releases each for the two workouts (Ballet Beautiful Body Blasts and Ballet Beautiful Total Body Workout). I have both, and I would love to compare for you the differences between the Original releases (with the mostly white covers) and the newer mass market releases (with these covers trimmed with green or purple). The actual workouts are the same, but a few features are different. In the new version you suffer through not one but two copyright warnings/; one from Lionsgate and one from Ballet Beautiful. The new discs open with the Lionsgate warnings and then the Lionsgate intro (the one with the turning cogs that tends to remind me of previews a the theatre). No previews to suffer through first. Then it shifts and plays the full preliminary faze in from the original. So, it sadly takes a few extra seconds to actually get TO the workout. Menus LOOK different, and have two notable differences: programmability and sound options. Each menu is, in appearance, similar to it's case. The new ones show that ugly band of color (purple or green, depending on which) that's on the cover on the menu. The new menus are busy, unattractive, and inelegant. BUT, they are more functional! The new discs allow you to set up your workout similar to the 10 MS discs. If you choose "custom" you can select which of the segments you would like to do, in which order you want them, then play through. With the original discs you either "play all" or return to the menu after each segment. Sounds options are different. Each gives you a different option. The originals gives you the option to workout with or without music, but with either option you will be listening to MHB. The new ones offer the opposite option: you can turn MHB's voice off or on, but in either option you are listening to the music. The new option includes Lionsgate trailers on the disc menu (but you only have to watch if you click on that option, which, being an exercise nerd, I did). Also, there is a difference in cases. The originals had full plastic (not so environmentally friendly but far more protective) cases. The new ones have the cases that have become the norm: the ones with the cut outs in the plastic. Both are pressed discs. I was rather torn as to which set I prefer. I much prefer the cover art (both front and back) of the original, but the more functional menu on the new ones swayed me. I like being able to not go back to the main menu when I want to do only 2 or 3 segments. And, I felt I was more likely to use the "music only" option than the "voice only" option (in all honesty, I'm not likely to use either option).

This DVD is excellent for a toning work out, it helps to stretch and tone your muscles. I love this DVD as I don't enjoy going to the gym. I prefer to work out in the comfort of my own home and in my own time. I am trying to tone up for the new year and this DVD really helps.

This CD is amazing! I really struggled to get going with it and ached for a few days, but now I love it!

Aunque en el anuncio no lo especifica, este DVD que se vende en amazon.es, únicamente es valido para reproductores de la Zona-Región 1 y no para los que tenemos en Europa. (Zona-Región 2). A tener en cuenta antes de adquirirlo ya que luego será imposible leerlo.
