Please help me with Ellen workouts!

I've fallen in love with Ellen Barrett's workouts and have acquired quite a few but there are so many out there, I'm a bit confused on what series is what and lost as to what I might be missing out on. Thus far, I have:

Skinny Sculpt
Slim Sculpt
Yogini
Power Fusion
Fusion Flow
Peace, Love, and Cardio (on the way)
Grace and Gusto (also on the way)

Any more similar suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

Fat Burning Fusion, my absolute favorite.
Burn and Firm Pilates (Crunch). Older workout but very good. May be on youtube.

Fat Burning Fusion is my favorite, also. I also love Zen Sculpt, which I think is still on YouTube.

You've got a good start. I have almost all of Ellen's workouts and love to mix them into my rotation. They also tend to be the ones I travel with because they require no equipment or very light weights (1-3 lbs).

For the ones you have, here are the series names:
Skinny Sculpt (Studio)
Slim Sculpt (Studio)
Yogini (Studio)
Power Fusion (Live)
Fusion Flow (Studio)
Peace, Love, and Cardio (on the way) (Live)
Grace and Gusto (also on the way) (Live)

The main difference between the Studio and Live workouts is that Ellen and team do the Live workouts straight through with no cuts. If they make a boo-boo, you see it. Ellen rarely makes a mistake so you won’t really notice. The Live workouts have a good vibe.

Here are some others to consider:
Fat Burning Fusion (Studio)
Barefoot Cardio (Studio)
Sleek Sculpt Express (Live)
Super Fast Body Blast (Live)
Stretch Sculpt (Live)
Fusion Floor (Live)

Her Crunch videos are great. She also did some workouts on FitTV that you can find on YouTube (and perhaps Vimeo or DailyMotion). Those are fun – Slorobics and Zen Sculpt.

Lastly, she also did one for the Pick Your Level series (Weight Loss Pilates) that I do not have. I think I rented once through KineticFlix, but I don’t recall loving it. Otherwise, I would have purchased it.

My personal faves:

Fat Burning Fusion
Slim Sculpt
Barefoot Cardio
Power Fusion
Peace Love & Cardio
Crunch Burn & Firm
Grace & Gusto
Super Slimdown

Not to hijack your thread, but didn't Ellen also do the dvds for the new version of Supreme Pilates? She promoted it on one of the shopping channels.

Ellen also has her newest, 7 Day Challenge maybe? I'm not sure of the exact name but I think it came out last year. It has 7 workouts in her typical style. It didn't go over too well here on VF but I liked the couple of workouts that I tried on the dvd.

By far my favorites are the older ones from Crunch. Especially Fat Burning Pilates, Burn & Firm Pilates, and Super Slim Down Pilates Yoga Blend.
