It Has To Start Somewhere
First, let me say (after reading many reviews before purchasing), I am a real person who is not associated with BGW2, have never been to their facility, have never met them in my life. Like many fans of BGW2 I saw the results on IG and was in awe and impressed. They were real women that looked like me and made a lifestyle change with the help of a DVD.I am not a fan of home workouts, DVDs, etc. I am the type of person who needs to be in the gym with others or classes, just me. But, I have to tell you, I love this DVD! I actually feel bad the days that I don't do it. The workout is great for my level (beginner-getting back in the swing) and even for an intermediate level if you do it full out. It may not be that challenging for someone who is advanced, but it could be used for a good warm up for someone who is advanced. Bottom line, it's a good workout that is truly a total body workout and I sweat every time I do it.The meal plan has been challenge for me (personally). Not the clean eating portion so much as I am a juicer and a pescatarian, but the guide is really like a guide and you have to create your own meal plan. The detox week is clear, but the rest of the month you have to just follow the tips. For someone who has a problem with food that's hard. Not that I run to chips, but I forget to eat 5 times a day and if I have to figure out what to eat for one of those meals, yeah...that's not working out to well LOL. But, that has nothing to do with BGW2, that's a me thing (smile). I'm hoping to get on track with the meal portion in the near future. For now, I'm loving my workout that I do 3-4x a week.And, not going to spend a lot of time on this, but yes the video and packaging could use some work. As a marketing and training specialist there are some things that would be helpful to capture a complete audience. The video has some editing issues. Should the video been priced at $30 or $40, no. But truthfully I spend $40 on stuff that I don't need all the time, so at least it would be $30-40 spent on something to make me better. Just my thought...a different way of looking at things. I decided that instead of complaining about the mistakes or things that could've been better, I adjusted to what I had and made it work. For example, I modified the amount of ingredients for the soup, because it's just me. If you follow the recipe that's comes with the DVD then you'll have soup for at least a month (no for real). For the ab section of the video where the editing is the worse, I simply pause it and finish the ab routine on the other side. The fact is she goes through it completely on one side and partially through it on the other side. I would imagine they are open to feedback if you send them an email with your thoughts, comments and suggestions. No one wants to just hear complaints, so provide them with solutions to make the next video better.If you want a workout, if you want to be motivated to get your life back on track this is a great way to kick-start that process. If you want to support a Black owned business that is uplifting and positive, this is a great purchase. I am a true fan of this video and highly recommend it for you.*Note: I do not work for Black Girls Workout Too. I do not know the owners. I have never been to the store. I simply made my purchase on Amazon.

Get Ready to Sweat!!
OK! So first off I hardly ever review things on amazon (I know thats bad lol) @nd I waited two freakin weeks two buy it because it was sold out everytime I checked! But I am on day 4 of this DVD. I LUV it. I read some of the reviews before purchasing. There were too many to read through but because of all the buzz about it, I just bought it. SO in my personal opinion I think this DVD works your whole body. I was able to do the full DVD by day 2 and only missed a few lunges and that back breaking Superwoman!! I just do crunches while she is doing the superwoman. My absolute favorite is the cardio boxing (Snatch it back!!) lol OMG I LUV it. Ellen is AMAZING with motivation. As far as the editing, I work through it just fine. I gave the DVD 5 stars based on the cardio boxing and the squats with the video vixen. The DVD is a bit pricey, but I feel its worth it because I have not missed a day yet and it comes with a simple meal plan. Everyone's experience with this DVD will be different. I am 5'5 140lbs and I only want to lose 5 lbs. And get this, I use 10 lb dumbells becuase my local walmart is sold out of every other freakin smaller size! So that makes up for the small extras in the video I miss. I havent made the soup but I am glad the DVD comes with the extra info. My weight goals are small but I want to stay in shape so I will do this video 3 times a week after I reach my goal! I hope to see more from these ladies in the future.Side note... The girl all the way to left on the end (Facing the TV) in the group working out with ellen keeps me motivated also! She is a bit healthier than the others but she was more energetic with all the moves the whole time. when I wanted to give up I looked in the back at her!! Thank you guys for all the motivation.

The BEST WORKOUT OF MY LIFE!!!
OMG, I love it! I was scared to order this video because of the reviews about the editing. Then I read the reviews about how effective the video really is and decided to take a chance. Let me tell you, THE EDITING IS NOT BAD AT ALL! People need to kick rocks. I was expecting the worse, when in return I got the best workout I have ever had in my life. I have purchased several workout videos in the past and this is by far the best video. I like how they keep you guessing you never know what you’re going to be doing next. Expect to sweat from the beginning to the end. This was well worth my money. I probably won’t do the meal plan because I know I won’t stick to it. I working on my eating habits one day at a time. I have a workout mat but no weights yet so I used two water bottles. I wasn’t about to let that stop me from working out. Mainly I want to make exercising a routine in my life and I’m glad I picked this video. When this becomes too easy (which won’t be anytime soon, lol) I will order their other video. The price is better than a gym membership. I was sweating harder during and after this video then I ever did at the gym. You won’t regret this purchase.
