baladea Fitness and Wellness System includes 8 Workout DVDs

For a while, I was hesitant to purchase this program, both because of the cost and because of the lack of information about it online. (Also, I suspected that many of the reviews I saw about the product - both on Amazon and elsewhere - were not real reviews).Despite my doubts, I decided to go ahead and buy the system and I am SO glad that I did!. I just started on Monday, so it's only been a week, but the workouts I've done so far have been fantastic! They are challenging, yet not so difficult that I become discouraged from continuing. (I am more or less a beginning exerciser). I am doing a lot of the modifications now, but look forward to doing the more advanced movements as my fitness level progresses.Within this week, I have lost about 1.5 pounds; that's with me cheating on my diet a little, but still about where I would like to be. I could follow the eating plan in the program, but I would rather focus developing healthy eating practices that I can maintain longterm. Rather than following the eating guide, I am choosing to limit calories to about 1,400-1,500 calories a day and limit carbs. I have about 50 pounds to lose, which I hope to lose for my wedding this time next year. I am shooting for a weight loss of 1.5-2 pounds per week. I am 5'4", 189 lbs, and 30 years old, if that helps at all.Overall, the workouts I've done so far have been wonderful. It's been a long time since I've done a workout program that I actually look forward to. Also, added bonus - there's an option to play the workouts without music, so I can play my own. :)Hope this review is helpful for those who are trying to decide whether to purchase the program. I look forward to updating this review as I continue on the program.I plan to update the review over the following months with my weight loss and fitness results.

This is a great kit. It comes in a nice box, so all of the dvds, pamphlets and equipment are all together. You can continue to use the box for these items even after its open. The price is great! I know from past experiences that I, a person who really never ever exercises, needs to spend a low amount of money of anything related to exercising. With that being said, I have yet to watch the dvds or use the bands but having this kit (currently under my bed) makes me feel good! I know where it’s at if I ever want to use it, which is highly unlikely but it just gives me piece of mind. So if you’re wanting to exercise but know deep down you’ll never do it, then buy this kit. It’s small, in a pretty box, everything is and stays together, takes up a small amount of space and reasonably priced.

I bought this kit a week or so ago. I started by using the "Flow" DVD, which is closer to the "wellness" end of the spectrum (the DVDs range from "fitness" to "wellness" on sort of a sliding scale, depending on what your goals are). I'm glad I did! It was a very relaxing, yet thorough workout. I was pretty out of shape, so nervous about starting with the "boost" or "power" dvds, but I look forward to using those soon. The "flow" DVD really got the endorphins going. I look forward to also using the rest of the DVDs. The DVDs range from 24 to 50 minutes in length, so you can also choose your workout based on how much time you've got. I haven't used the resistance band yet. I think only the "fusion" and "power" DVDs require the band.

I really like this program, it comes with everything you need to get a decent workout.The only con is the length of the DVDs. They are between 45-60 minutes long, and it's a lot of time to devote to this - especially w hen you have a toddler running around. I've taken a break from these DVDs for a bit in favor of going to the local park where I can exercise on the fitness trail and keep my daughter occupied.It's a great program though, if you have the ability to devote time to it. I plan on returning to it at a later date, after my daughter is on a more set schedule.

This is a great system at an unbeatable price. You get a variety of great workouts that really bring results if you do them consistently. I love that you have an option to simplify the routine for a lower intensity or really push yourself for a high intensity burn. The workouts are about 40 minutes in length. But the time just flies by and you get a complete workout. Slim, boost, fushion and power are by far my fa orites. But i do find calm and yoga great options for a day I eant to take it easy. I've been doing them 4 times a week for a month and have seen great results. So excited to keep at it. Don't hesitate and give it a try!

Overall a great workout system, the only thing I dislike was the band broke after 3 workouts. I had to send the whole kit back, as they could not just send a replacement band. It was a pain, so a stronger band would be appreciated as it is needed for many of the workouts!

Absolutely amazing! I had never hear of Holly Perkins before. However I decided to order the set based on the item description and the price. It sounded like a great deal. She does not have the one size fits all mentality nor does she have the no pain no gain mentality. She has everything I wanted in a fitness DVD set: Core strengthening, flexibility, cardio, motivation with anti-stress techniques and so much more. Her nutrition guide is not a one size fits all either. It is wonderfully refreshing. I can't believe I got so lucky. I have been looking for something like this for so long.

Huge selection of workouts so it never gets boring. From meditation and yoga to high intensity interval training this package has it all. Also the cookbook is awesome. I don't always use it but I do have a few favorite that my whole family loves. The resistance band is good too. I use it when im just watching movies to strengthen my arms, as well as during the videos when required. The workouts are pretty intense which is awesome. When I first started I couldn't finish a full video. Now I can finish like 4 . But I still have a ways to go till I can finish the harder ones. Definitely recommend this system.
