Hi Raphael,

I recently purchased your Boot Camp DVD. I love it, but I would also like to do some of your other exercises that you have referenced in some of your articles. I am looking for a source of your videos where you have someone like Cathy actually performing the exercise as you critique the form and give us tips.

I am a visual learner and can’t always follow the written word as well. And I like the demonstrations so I know I am performing the exercises correctly.


Is there a source of videos like this for all (or as many as possible) of your exercises? I have found some on YouTube but am looking for others that I haven’t found there.

Thanks so much for your helpful instructions. I am 53 and have never liked exercise. But I do now because it makes me feel strong, which I have never been in my entire life!

Regards,

Anita


Anita,

I’m ecstatic that you’re enjoying the eDiets Best Body DVD workouts! I put my heart and soul into the workouts and have been receiving sensational feedback from people who are enjoying exercise for the first time, liking the 25-30 minute workouts and my motivational talk and very much appreciating the fact that I use real people as my fitness team –--Cathy, who has lost 115 pounds, and Justin, who has lost 65 pounds.

The fact that you’re 53 and have never liked exercise but like it now made my day. This is the kind of thing that I love hearing and I’m very happy for you! You’ve entered a new phase that will produce sensational results.

In answer to your question, the following link will bring you directly to videos that I’ve created with Cathy as the fitness model. I take my time with the instruction, and I think you’ll find it quite helpful. In fact, you’ll see 3 programs – pre-beginner (those with a lot of weight to lose, physical limitations or who have trepidation about starting to exercise), beginner and intermediate:

Take your time performing the exercises and focus on precise form. The better your exercise form, the more you’ll see results in both your strength levels and muscularity (firmness).
Thanks for letting me know about your pen name too!

Best of luck, Anita, and keep up the great work!
