Hey Ellen!
I recently discovered your All Star Workouts on fit TV and love them. I’ve been going to the gym regularly now for almost a year and plateaued a while back (I still have about… 20 lbs. or so to lose) and I did the Pilates Sculpt on Tuesday and I’ve got muscle soreness in my legs for the first time in months! I feel like I can actually get a great leg work out now, without having to actually lift at the gym, which is nice. Anyway, I’m interested in your DVDs, but can’t really afford to buy the lot of them at the moment (although, I’m sure I eventually will) and was wondering what you suggest I start with. I love the Slow-Robics, but I know I can’t just keep doing the same thing over and over again.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Great work! Thanks for your calm and effective workouts. They make me feel great!

Ellen,
I have struggled with my weight all my life. At the age of 3, I was diagnosed with a rare form of spinal muscular atrophy – my muscles are very tight and my reflexes are acute. Due to this diagnosis, I am limited in the physical activity that I can do. Exercising has always been hard for me.
I originally bought your “pick your spot pilates” and loved it. About 2 months ago, I caught your Slow-Aerobics on FitTV and LOVED it also! I had it taped….and unfortunately taped over it and haven’t been able to find it since. I really enjoyed finally finding aerobics that I can keep up with. I am going to keep looking on FitTV to see if I can find it again.
I bought your Slow Sculpt and Fat Fusion DVDs, and am currently waiting to receive Yogini. I love the two I have…and can’t wait for the third. I feel so energized and strong afterward.
I just wanted to thank you for giving me the power to change my body. I think your message is strong and I do believe that by engaging your mind in your workouts provides the most powerful results.

Hi, Ellen-
I love, love, love Slow-Robics, but I DESPERATELY need it on DVD because a) they don’t play you enough on FitTV and b) the times they do play you aren’t condusive with my schedule. Unfortunately, I don’t have Tivo or a DVR.
Last year, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. I still have pretty good mobility unlike so many others but fatigue is definitely a huge issue for me. I find the Slow-Robics goes at just the perfect pace to give me a good workout without exhausting me. Since I began having the serious issues with fatigue a couple of years ago, I have not been exercising like I was and I gained back much of the weight I lost when I could. Please help me get myself back into shape by letting me know where I can get videos.

I have to piggy back the request made by Kim- the Slow-Robics with Ellen Barrett should be on daily. Those of us who are obese need a fitness program that starts where we are, and lets us build up to fitness levels we are capable of. We would like a DVD or more programming on FIT TV ! Thank you! And thank you for introducing her to me!

Please release a DVD of Slow-Robics with Ellen Barrett! Due to medical issues, I’ve become very deconditioned and morbidly obese. This is the first aerobics workout that doesn’t leave me feeling hopeless. I can actually keep up with it! Unfortunately, I don’t have the ability to record it and the TV schedule doesn’t fit with my work schedule. I catch it when I can, but it isn’t often enough. Please help!

Hi Mary.
Just fyi, FAT BURNING FUSION is very akin to Slo-robics, have you tried that DVD? It’s 45minutes of the same tempo, lots of the same moves and low-impact.
Little by little you’ll get back to “conditioned” if you do something everyday, even just a walk around the block. And you know, for you, pace does NOT matter. If it takes you 20 minutes or 10 minutes, so what. xoEB

I agree, you need to be on FitTV daily!!! I have both episodes DVR’d, but that is not enough. : )

I want a DVD for “Slo-Robics”!!! this is a great program. I used to be an aerobics (step w/ light weights) instructor but as I got older, I developed very high blood pressure. I’m really short of breath and this workout is the first one I am able to do in years!! I especially LOVE the no jumping because that is something I cannot do now. Please come on TV daily, or put out a DVD or suggest one just like slo-robics!!! Thanks
