Hmm... think I'll get out my scented candles for this one!

I'm doing this one again this evening and while I didn't think of the scented candles I will definately be using my aromatherapy eye bag.

Just wondering if anyone else is still doing this workout.

The first time I did it, I thought it was kind of hard on the wrists, but afterwards I didn't have any issues and felt great afterwards.

The next time I did the workout, I started pushing with the fingers immediately (like she tells you) and the wrist fatigue was much less - barely noticeable.

This type of workout generally does not appeal to me, but I love this one; I find the upper body challenging and I have started tacking on the stretch segment to other workouts.

I'm selling mine on eBay. I only did it once and was very disappointed.

It just wasn't challenging enough for me. I have some of the Les Mills BodyBalance/Flow DVDs and I guess they have spoiled me. I did love the music though.

Actually, I tried this one and it was challenging for me! However, I'd gone surfing the day before, so maybe that had something to do with it.

I do agree with you that Body Flow is wonderful. I was thinking of getting certified, but I'm not very flexible. Either way, I really should try to get a class in this week.

I love this workout! It's just the right degree of difficulty to feel nicely worked out and yet there's room for me to grow into improving the poses and I feel relaxed and stretched out afterwards.

I really like it. I've been working on my flexibility and this DVD is just the kind of workout I've been looking for. I feel relaxed afterwards.

I still love this workout. It makes me feel stretched, lengthened and relaxed after I'm done. It always winds me down after a stressful day. It also calms my mind since I do have to focus on keeping good form throughout. I really really love the shavasana its definately long enough to feel truly relaxed after the workout.
