KeriBeast Pilates Bee Twist Review Mar 4, 2010 2:50 PM My little one and I were browsing the DVD section when she shoved a Pilates Bee Twist DVD. It's a workout DVD designed for girls aged 8-15.   The DVD includes a 5 minute Warm-Up, 15 minute Advanced Workout and a 30 minute Workout. It also includes Special Features on extremely mature topics such as obesity, diabetes, diets etc. Also there is a dictionary on all the poses featured in the video.   The girls who are demonstrating the poses don't look very happy to be doing this. They are very concentrated on their positions that it's almost as if there are not aware they are being filmed. The producers lightened it up with funny subtitles which is not seen often in exercise DVDs.   My little one (age five) loved it because she could workout with big sister and bounce around like a ball!   The workouts are extremely similar to Adult Pilates DVDs that I have tried. Extremely fun to do and not too difficult for kids. You get a nice little workout especially if your having a light/rest day in between your regular workouts.   I give it 5 stars. It does exactly what it sets out to do and its' a cute concept. The video was definitely tailored to its' audience.   I would have preferred the girls in the video to be a little more happy about doing good things for their body but you can't have it all and it was fun nonetheless.     Completely off topic:   I lost five pounds in 2 weeks doing nothing but cutting out junk out of my diet, drinking more water and doing these workout DVDs daily!

scorpstar77 Anybody tried BreakPal.com? Jan 13, 2009 5:18 AM I read about this site in RealSimple magazine a few months ago, and I went to check it out yesterday. It's a site meant to help you be active throughout the day - it pops up on your computer every 30 minutes and leads you through a 3-minute workout. Apparently it's based on martial arts - one of the comments on the site said it was like Tai Chi on fast-forward, so there's no jumping or anything high-impact but it does get your heart rate up. Obviously, it's intended to play on the idea that exercise is cumulative. If you actually did the 3-minute workouts every 30 minutes for an entire workday, they claim it's equivalent to spending 45 minutes at the gym before or after work, and it gets you out of your chair during the day (which I *know* is good for you). My problem is that there is no video demo, no free trial, nothing so you can actually see what the exercises look like. Which makes me quite skeptical, but on the other hand, a major magazine like RealSimple recommended it. It's $20 to get the low-price version, which has something like 5 exercises in it, and I think $50 or $60 to get the full verison with 27 exercises. So - has anybody taken the plunge and tried this? Is it worth it? Would you actually do it or are the exercises dumb?
