I AM Meditations Series with Elise Joans is part of Elise's BarreBlend workout program.  Elise includes sixty 4-minute meditation sessions that start with the words I AM.  The program also comes with daily motivational I AM cards that you can buy from BeachBody or download and print as a PDF.  I love the mini-meditations sessions.  Mostly because they are not very long. Just enough time to set the tone for your day with words of inspiration, encouragement, and affirmations to enjoy your day and go after your goals.  I find the I AM program to be up lifting.

BeachBody Unstress program is part of BeachBody's Relaxation & Meditations series.  Unstress is a 21-Day program that consists of twenty-one 10-minute meditations by different Unplug Meditation instructors.  The series is hosted by Suze Yalof Schwartz.   Suze introduces the program in a 4-minute Get Started segment. And as you go through the program she introduces and summarizes each session.  This is the only thing that I really did not like about the meditations. I find her introductions and summaries unnecessary and would prefer to have the meditation just start with the instructors. This is my second time doing these meditations.  The first time I did the series, I did them back to back as a 21 day program over 21 days.  This time around I only did the Unstress meditations on the weekends and I did the shorter Barre Blend IAM meditations during the week. I like this particular schedule because I have more time to donate to meditating on the we...

Baladea Calm is a 24 minute meditation workout. For almost the whole 24 minutes, you are lying supine listening to Holly guide you through the meditation that is suppose to motivate and destress you.  This workout is for your mind. Towards the end of the workout, you return to the sitting position. I like the this workout but would have liked it to be shorter or maybe have the option to do one of two 12 minute workouts and then "play all" for 24 minutes. 3 & 3/4 stars
