Customer Review: A great, yoga tape for beginners, instant results!
I found this tape at my local library. I’ve tried others that were too fast, too challenging & too boring. I though I’d never learn to like yoga. After checking it out a few times, I’d found I was adicted & had to get my own copy. It’s a great stress reliever, it just stretches away the day’s tenison. There is a morning & evening routine so you just do a few minutes morning & night. There’s even a meditation at the end. Dixie’s video is challenging, yet not too difficult. Try it & you’ll love it too. I reccomend this to everyone who has never done yoga, but has always wanted to learn. Cristy
Customer Review: Dixie Carters Yoga Tape, the unworkout
I find her style and humor very relaxing and easy to do. Highly recommned it to any of the more mature ladies just getting started and who don’t want to spend a lot of time.

Customer Review: Making a Good Brain Great
I read a great book on the weekend - “How to Make a Good Brain Great” by Daniel Amen M.D. He studies brain function scientifically using brain scans. He runs a “Brain” clinic specializing in helping people with problem brains. Many people unknowingly injure their brains through minor accidents and then wonder why they are having problems in some parts of their life. The thesis of the book, which seems perfectly logical, is that the brain is responsible to a large extent for our overall health. He believes and provides proof that we can “repair” and improve our brain function. Most of good brain health is just normal clean living and healthy lifestyle. He advocates aerobic exercise (more blood pumped to the head). He suggests trying new things to challenge the brain (I do this all the time). The only part that I do not totally agree with or follow is his guide to supplementation. Some of what he advocates, I do like drinking green tea and taking multivitamins but I am not big on taking many supplements. We are in sync on eating a healthy diet including lots of essential fatty acids like ground flax and fish oil. He advocates laughter something I have been trying to add to my lifestyle. Overall, I have a very brain healthy lifestyle. The only exception to that might be sleep. He advocates getting 6-8 hours of sleep per night and never seem to find the time for that. This said, it is on my list to try to get to bed earlier. Interesting that he is a big advocate of table tennis as a good brain sport since the Estill family is big on this (although I don’t play as much as my father or brothers). The book has 13 steps to exercise your brain. Some of these I do naturally - like “dedicate yourself to learning”, “limit TV”, “Limit video games (sometimes I play too much online chess”. Others I can easily add like “break routine”. He also has a 15 day program to a healthier brain. I won’t give you the program - you will have to read the book for that. It is a great book and worth the read. ——————————————————————————–

Customer Review: it makes so much sense
This book is the last book on nutrition you’ll need. It covers evertything from the beginning… when food was changed with modern industry and why so you get an idea about the history of nutritional adivse and diets. It really makes sense and like someone else also mentioned it doesn’t try to sell you a new approach or diet but rather makes you think what you do to your body if you stick to your current diet. If you read the content of a package of whole wheat beagles like I did recently you are not certain anymore that you do your body something good because the label tries to sell you something healthy…. READ IT and save yourself from cancer, diabetes etc! I also like the short chapters so you can read it in little chunks inbetween … well done!
Customer Review: Simply An Excellent And Fascinating Book.
It is nice to read a book by an author who is not trying to push the latest theory about this or that diet or the celeb nutrient of the day. But I do not wish to suggest he is not highly critical of the so-called Western Diet. Much like another excellent book: An Apple A Day:… by Joe Schwartz, this book is written by someone who has first rate critical thinking skills, and what appears to be the complete absence of any agenda. The author is very well read and comments along the way, and quite helpfully, about other books on diet and nutrition that have sold well lately. And unlike the flawed book, The China Study, this book does not seem to over-reach. Finally, as with An Apple A day, you end up walking away with quite a lot of optimism about the food choices available to you, and also optimistic about what you can do right away so as to eat in a way that does not cause you to suffer lingering anxiety over your dietary choices.

Customer Review: Buns of Steel (original)
I have been using this video on and off for a few years now. Although the clothing and music is outdated, Greg Smithey makes cheesy comments that make me grimmace. It is still a very challenging video that I am always able to feel the next day (in a good way). I use many workout VHS and DVDs but I keep coming back to Buns of Steel. Thanks
Customer Review: Buns of Concrete
I purchased this video a from Amazon and I Love it!! It is a tad bit old, but the results are what really count. You really feel a burn when you do these exercises and its very low impact. I recommend this VHS for people who are pear-shaped like me and need to really tone the lower half of your body.

Anyone wanting to get in shape like the stars need go no further than Bryan Kest’s videos. Kest teaches wildly popular yoga classes in Santa Monica, California–so popular that stars like Rhea Perlman, David Duchovny, and Elisabeth Shue willingly sweat alongside the hoi polloi in Kest’s packed, ancient loft studio. If you don’t happen to be in the neighborhood, not to worry: Kest’s yoga videos are nearly as good as being there. Volume 1: Energize is a beginner level class that nonetheless is smartly designed to provide challenges for all levels of users. Kest’s Jersey-boy voice at first seems in contrast to the serene environment and inner-peace objectives, but it gradually becomes soothing and hypnotic in its own right. Stretches and strengthening moves are alternated with just enough repose to keep even first timers on track. After mastering Vol. 1, practitioners can go on to Volume 2: Tone or Volume 3: Sweat to further challenge themselves. As long as you keep in mind Kest’s personal mantra–”If you’re doing the best you can, you’re doing this class perfectly”–you and this video should have many satisfying years of workouts together. –Anne Hurley

Customer Review: Bryan Kest, Energize,Tone and Sweat Power Yoga
I can not say enough great things about this DVD collection. If you are at all curious about learning Yoga, this is a great place to start. If you are an experienced yogi or yogini then this is also a great DVD to add to your collection. Bryan Kest not only gives you a great workout, he allows you to accept were you are at. As a power yoga teacher myself, I can olny hope that I can give my students the spiritual guidance and physical challenge that this collection gives. Bravo!!
Customer Review: The Fabio of yoga….
I have to agree with the others on this DVD as far as the content but the the long hair, tight jeans (while he is teaching!) and the slow various shots of him with his opened shirt is a little much. This is why it lost a few stars. If you can get over the esthetic ‘cheese’, this DVD is for you.

Customer Review: Great item for the price……fast shipping!
The material for this folding poker table top is well made and sturdy. The board is thick and comes with a strong carrying bag. The shipping was fast and I’m enjoying it.
Customer Review: Perfect table topper for the small budget
If you need a decent folding poker table top, this one is just dandy! It’s not the fanciest thing in the world, but then again, it’s very inexpensive. For the money, it is a very nice product.
