 Rating:  - Pretty good I had this DVD sitting on my shelf for a few years now. I had tried it a few times and just never got hooked. I've since started other exercise and with a bit more flexibility and core strength then I used to have, I decided to try Lotte Berk again. It's definitely not something that will everyone will like. You have to focus on what you're doing, the movements are small and precise, and you will feel a burn. I will stick with Pilates and Yoga as my primary "core" and flexibility work but I'll ... Read More Rating:  - In Stephanie Lyons' DefenseI have noticed several reviewers upset about the way the instructor, Stephanie Lyons, comes across in this video. I had 8 yrs of intensive ballet, and she reminds me very much of a strict ballet teacher, which must be why I like her. She herself started ballet at age 3 and danced with the NY City Ballet. The remarks she makes to draw one's attention to where the movement is felt, where it should be felt, are not meant to be condescending. What she is trying to do is assist you in building the ...

Many people have already listed out the main points of this DVD. Here's how I use mine: skip the weird march-in-place warmup, start with section 2 (of 4): thigh & seat. In about 3 minutes, you get a screaming thigh workout that strengthens quads noticeably. My knees are weak, and lunges are no good. These plies get results without the joint instability risked when doing front lunges. You really feel this workout, but when it ends, you're ...

Rating:  - Lotte Berk Method - Irritating instructor, too few reps, boring workoutLotte Berk Method For Beginners - Basic Essentials The instructor was so irritating and condescending to the point of distraction. It was very hard to concentrate on the precision movements when I just wanted to rip her head off for constantly saying, "Can you tuck? Can you lift your leg? Can you do that? Can you?" The movements themselves were rather easy and required way too few reps, so it wasn't an issue of "can" at all. I have no motivation to try any of the other DVD's because of this woman's poor ...
