1 Star BAD
I wouldnt know. Its been over a month that I purchased this item and never recieved it.

5 Stars The butt-kicking workout I’ve been looking for!!!!!
Jillian makes good on her promises - this is tough, and I’m in pretty good shape already!!!- Bonus: My soccer playing boyfriend even found it challenging, but fun to do together. - About 5 minutes of warm up and then on to roughly 40-45 minutes non-stop cardio circuit training. - With all the moves - alternating punches and kicks, jumping and twisting moves and traditional cardio… plus a 5 minute KILLER ab section on the floor towards the middle of it all… NO body part goes unused. And she doesn’t let you slow down once you get started. She’s inspiring funny, even a little bossy, but that’s what really makes me stick with it. - I’ve substituted this twice a week in my workout routine, and have already noticed some results after only a month, especially in the abs and waist.- As long as you can handle a little impact, I recommend this HIGHLY.

5 Stars Jillian Kicks MY BUTT!!
I have ON DEMAND from my cable tv service and was able to do this workout just this morning! I said why not! Not only was I challenged, but I was excited to keep going! I’m not going to lie and say you won’t want to take a little break during this workout, but it was well worth it — stay strong till the end! Don’t let it slide until you are taking off those socks/sneakers! I love her whole message of coming to each workout with INTENTION! If you start this type of thinking for your workouts, it will eventually spread to your entire life.

The moves in the workout are not intricate - they are totally old school, doable for beginners, and highly effective!

I can’t wait to do it again!

4 Stars Intense cardio workout
Because the title was “Boost Your Metabolism” I thought this workout would include weight training, but it is pure intense cardio. It is not dancey at all - reminds me of junior high PE class! I am fairly advanced, and workout to videos at least three times a week, and I had to really push myself to finish.

5 Stars Tough as ever but with a softer touch
Jillian rocks it out on this one but has really refined her personal approach and does not make it seem like punishment. I am a lifelong workout finatic and this one does not disappoint. But beware, it is not for the faint of heart or the true beginner. The nice thing is that it is divided into circuits so you can do all 45 minutes or just pick a few 6 minute circuits depending on time limitations.

Totally worth the purchase!

4 Stars Razzle Dazzle Writing
This book is a great resource for writing teachers. My copy was constantly being passed around my school and teachers would jokingly put their names on my book. So, when teacher’s birthdays roll around, I buy them their OWN copy!

5 Stars Razzle Dazzle is awesome!
This is a truly wonderful book full of lots of things that have to be covered in language arts (reading/English) curriculums. It breaks all of those things down into smaller parts that are easier to work with and provides lots of great ideas. It fits wonderfully with my 6th and 7th grade classes.

2 Stars Help for young writers
This book is not what I really thought it would be. It has good introductions to different writer’s craft and some practice but not lessons. It’s a good book to use to set up a writer’s notebook, but not to teach from.

5 Stars Wonderful
I absolutly love this book! It provides you with so many creative ideas and incorportes the skills that you are trying to teach your students. I teach 3rd grade and my students love it when I pull this book off the shelf. I also absolutly love her Dynamite Writing Ideas book. It was very helpful with getting organized and creating a writers workbook with the students, although my kids call them their author books. They really have found a love of writing with these skills and the way that they are presented!

5 Stars A Must Have!
As a writing teacher, I am looking for practical ideas not philosophies. This book is nothing but terrific. It has immediate lessons and handouts. Every 4th-8th grade teacher needs this book.

Easy Meditation Tips and Techniques for the Meditation Beginner

Easy Meditation Tips and Techniques for the Meditation Beginner

So what does this mean in real life? Just what is this thing called meditation? Meditation itself is simply the process of quieting our mind. Gradually, your mind becomes calmer. The “chatter” that’s often there becomes less. And you start to move mentally to a more tranquil place. Sometimes meditation is described as reaching a higher state of consciousness. This can come about because our mind is less cluttered and therefore we start to notice things that would ordinarily pass us by. For instance, whilst meditating we may tune in more to the sounds around us, whether they are the urban sounds of traffic and people talking or more rural sounds such as bird song or the running water of a stream. Oftentimes by concentrating on these sounds we can go deeper into a meditative state.
