I do wish Ellen would make some new workouts, it seems she only releases 1 or 2 every couple of years. I am always afraid to " over use" them b/c they are unique and I don't want to burn out. I know Jessica has some similar workouts and so does Tracy Mallett, but overall I find Ellen's to be in a category by themselves. I still think I may do one tomorrow - they seem to be just what I need for my achey body and blah mood!

I totally agree with this. When someone says to suggest something like Ellen, the only thing I can think of is Natalie Spadaccino's Joyful Movement DVDs.

I think Ellen herself is in a category all her own, and by extension, so are her workouts.

I haven't tried Natalie's Joyful Movement dvds yet (found out about those in an old thread too, who would've thought?) although I really want to! Darn budget. Well, my birthday is in August... They do look more similar to Ellen's than any I've seen, although some of Jessica's are very fusion-y too... just not quite like Ellen's fusion, if that makes sense? I don't know, I like them both!

I agree about Ellen's workouts - they are unique! Natalie's are close and she does include a lot of balance challenges in one of them (can't remember which, cardio?). Isn't Michelle from Ellen's workouts also coming out w/ her own video?

Charmyn does look awesome! I'd love to take a class there w/ Ellen!

Yes, Michelle's is on Mary's coming soon page currently.

I'm on Pacific time, so I'll be at my Barre3 class during Ellen's conference call. I hope it goes well though. Maybe she'll take suggestions for new workouts?

Hi!

Did anyone call in to the conference call last night? I got home a bit late and by the time I was ready it was already in progress.

Ellen posted a summary on her blog - all of what she says makes sense to me. Especially about hunkering down at home at night - that is what I have been wanting to do and I find that when I resist it - I tend to either over eat or become MORE tired!
