Reviews of Fitness Videos

Remember, I am not necessarily "recommending" the items reviewed here. I'm giving you my honest opinion of what I thought of them. I don't always like everything I review.

Read Shira's Video Reviews: Format & Biases before reading any of these video reviews so you can better understand the format she has chosen for her reviews and acquaint yourself with her biases that may affect the content of her reviews.

Videos marked with a twirling star below are Shira's top picks. "N/A" in this column means "not available", which typically means Shira has not yet watched this video and therefore doesn't know whether it's good.
