Video:
The high quality of the video is a pleasant surprise, considering the fact that many exercise videos come across as low-budget, with grainy pictures. The picture and colors are sharp and clear.

Sound:
Compared to a feature film, sound quality may seem to be less important on an exercise DVD, but remember, it is necessary to listen to what the instructor is saying. There are no particular flaws in the sound, however it does not enhance the overall experience either.

Extras:
There are no included extras, but viewers may appreciate the fact that individual scene selections allow them to skip directly to a favorite workout. While in the beginning it is most likely best to stick with the entire workout, it is nice to have the option to switch up the routine if desired.

Final Thoughts:
Any of DVDs in the Self collection is a sound investment. The workout routines are easy to follow, they are challenging without being too intense, and the instructors' genuine and encouraging natures are motivating. In the glut of workout DVDs on the current market, the Self series stands out as one of the best in terms of overall quality.
