Karen, I previewed the Mama Wants (not the Advanced) DVD this evening. It has three 20 minute circuit workouts. Each one has five cycles of one minute cardio, one minute strength,and one minute core (plus warmup and cooldown). Each workout uses a resistance tubing. From my preview, they appear to make nice add-ons, or string two (or all three) sessions together. The intensity level appears to be high beginner to intermediate. Three levels are shown throughout each workout. Lisa Druxman is the instructor.

They were originally advertised on a TV commercial:

The commercial makes them sound intriguing, but they're just circuit workouts.

I never heard of Mama wants her body back so of course I googled it and wow bad reviews!!!! Pages and more pages of allegations of scams for automatic enrollment even if you check that you do not want to be enrolled, charges on your credit card and from your bank account! It seems our friend lucked out getting the dvds and not buying directly from the website!!!

Thanks for the info, Garrie! I looked them up too and I think I'll wait until I can find them in a thrift store too.

I didn't see all the bad reviews, but I'm not surprised.

All DVDs were $2.50.

thanks for the reviews. i remember seeing these in thrift stores too - had never seen the infomercial.

spotted at the local used book/media store:
Breathless Body $9
Amy Bento Athletic Step Challenge $9
Amy Bento Body Box $9
Tracey Mallett FIT $9
KCM Body Shop $9

these titles led me to believe there's another vidiot in this town.

Bzar, if it was me, I'd have probably got the last three on your list. I def. think there is another vidiot on your town!

I never heard of the workouts Garrie found either! I hope you'll enjoy them, they looked kinda good on preview!

spotted at Savers:

*4 step co. step risers - 99¢ apiece.
Tonya Larson DVD Step Pump $1.99
PJ O'Clair - Intense Body Blast Pilates 3 workout DVD $1.99
Cameron Shayne - Budokon Weight Loss System (2 DVDs, 1 CD) sealed for $4.99
The Firm Wave (didn't check the price)
Balance Disc - didn't have time to really check it out or the price

*these were pink and turquoise. topless. was very tempted to get maybe 1, or possibly rescue all 4. but i already have 4 risers! DH would scream if he saw me bring home more risers!

i didn't buy anything fitness related during this latest adventure. instead, i bought a Better Homes & Gardens Cookies for Christmas book.

LOL at Goodwill yesterday, I saw a black/green club size Step with no risers. I just want the risers.

I don't remember the dvds, but they're always the same ones that I'm not interested in

Jillian Michaels Killer Buns And Thighs

I'm not particularly a Jillian fan, but this morning I picked up Killer Buns and Thighs for a whopping $1.25, including tax. For that, I'll give it a try.
