I love Ellen, and usually feel sore after doing her workouts. I'm one of those, too, that food matters more than exercise.
I'm sort of done with big rotations right now. I want to enjoy my workouts as they are stress relief for me, and my break from my kids. I need to like them, not dread them. Ellen makes wonderful, feel good workouts that I come away from refreshed and not run down. Sometimes I think we put too much emphasis on the workout and rotation. I'm trying to get away from that--just move every day. But I'm at a place where exercise is my hobby and break from my kids! Jackie |

i didn't lose any weight with ellen's cardio. i wasn't really looking to lose weight and as long as i didn't go crazy with the eating i maintained, but if i didn't watch what i ate and the portions i would gain. i was a little surprised by how quickly i would gain. i guess the high intensity cardio i was doing before gives me more wiggle room with calorie intake. YMMV. i am happy with my results, though. i gained flexibility, particularly in my shouders, back, and inner thighs so i'm happy about that. i also feel like i gained a little strengthfrom her non weighted workouts. i feel (a little) stronger now when i do isolation moves in barre work. i really think it's from doing the toning exercises using the full range of motion. so as you may have guessed, i'm not disappointed by the rotaion or ellen. i still love ellen and her workouts. i think she's a great instructor and fat burning fusion is still my favorite. HTH!

While I don't do Ellen rotation per se, I do her workouts at least twice per week. She simply makes me feel good afterwards and I look forward to working out with Ellen. I have accepted that I will not be thin and super-toned, but I want to feel good and healthy and that's exactly how Ellen's workouts make me feel.
