need opinions about Madeleine Lewis dvds

Hi everyone! I recently acquired Gaiam's Cardio Burn Weight Loss w/Madeleine Lewis. Kinda like her demeanor, the setting (outdoors), and the workout. Just wondering if there's much difference between this one and an earlier dvd she did entitled Get Moving? Walking for Weight Loss (or something like that!). Any opinions? Thanks!

They are actually one and the same, just re-packaged/re-named by Gaiam.

Madeline is a well known choregrapher who choregraphs most of Kathy Smith's workouts as Maddy Lewis. So if you enjoy the this workout, you may enjoy Kathy Smiths timesaver cardio workouts and some of her others. She doesn't have a whole lot of workouts where she is the instructor but I would definitely buy them if she did as I love her Cardio Burn (Get Moving).

i have all of her "recent" workouts where she is the lead instructor:

the walking fit cardio DVD you mentioned in your post
the walking fit CD (different and totally awesome)
walking fit strength DVD
AM/PM stretch


i haven't tried these:
california workout (on vhs)
buns of steel pregnancy workout

she choreographed a majority of kathy smith's workouts and even appears in 1 of them (fat burning breakthrough step workout).

Bzar, is the walking fit strength dvd the one using the weighted bar? I checked her website and Gaiam's website but don't see it. Gaiam's site says the walking fit kit is no longer available - was the strength dvd included in the kit? I really like her and now I want all her dvds!!! Imagine that!! I have Cardio Burn and AM/PM Stretch. Got the weighted bar vhs for SASE (thanks Randi!!). Would love the walking fit cd mentioned but don't know where to find it! Anybody know? I checked Ebay.

Never mind!! I did a search for Gaiam Walking Fit Kit and was able to find it. Previously searching under Madeleine Lewis. Found it and can't wait to try it!!

She has a couple other stretch DVDs besides AM/PM, although the names escape me at the moment. She also has a pilates ring workout - it is paired on a DVD with an Ana Caban ring workout.

Is that the Walking Fit Toning and Stretching workout? I'd be interested to know about other stretching workouts she's made. I use am stretch quite a bit.
