I did S2E1 Confidence this morning. Overall I liked it. I haven't done Bellyfits in a while and I forgot what feel-good workouts they are and they do wonders for my lower back.
I agree that this episode has a lot less TIFT'g and that the "cell" was not a distraction at all and the stretches at the end felt really nice. I like planks and have no problem doing them but I don't quite get the purpose of the move of holding light weights while doing hip circles towards the end. Didn't do anything for me. This was a nice episode especially for light days, but there are other in Season 1 that I like better. Can't wait to see what episode 2 is like.

I tried Confidence for the first time last night and absolutely loved it. The room didn't bother me at all. It was so much fun and the time flew. I subbed my toughest back PT exercise for the twisty planks.
Even though I kept it low and did it barefoot on my yoga mat, my Fitbit registered a solid 17 minutes of aerobic activity, with heart rate above 120 and peaks to 138. While smiling! I think holding the dumbbells while doing the figure eight isolations is a tactile function to keep you from unconsciously swaying the upper body while focusing on the hip movement. Looking forward to episode 2! |

I know this was probably asked but I don't recall. Is this just for streaming or was she going to put out DVDs too?
I haven't done Bellyfit in quite a while so not sure if I want to pay for it or not. I know still deciding, pretty soon the payment will go up. |

She no longer releases dvds. They are download and streaming only.

Episode 2, Pleasure is up. I scanned through. The meditation, warmup and cardio are about 26 minutes altogether. Again Alice uses the dumbbells while performing hip isolations, and there are more traditional exercises - lunges with bicep curls and twisting V-sit holding them in front of the abs. I like the looks of the yoga section, focus is hip openers. There's an elbow plank and a full plank.
The cardio seems to be familiar exercises, but the workout wraps up nice and neat, with great music - can't wait to try it! |

I would say moderate but I don't do really hard workouts. The size of the files are listed-she gives you four different options of SD and HD (two options of each). I don't know if you can see the size before purchasing. I will check later.
