- Strategies for enhancing both body and mind, from self-image and nutrition to relaxation and performance
- A complete wellness program that includes stretching, cardio workouts, and weight training
- Workouts tailored for busy working women and for exercising with a partner, plus age-specific routines for girls, teenagers, and women over fifty
