AeroBarre is a 50 minute workout that combines ballet and boxing interval cardio and sculpting sets. It features Leila Fazel as the "demonstrator" of the moves and exercises and Michael Olajide Jr as the narrator. The set is a boxing ring, although Leila doesn't use the ring. She exercises in front of it. The workout contains 11 rounds, but the rounds are short. There is a warm up and cool down round and in between that, there are rounds that feature ballet moves, boxing moves and a combination of ballet and boxing moves. Leila uses a light set of hand weights and a body bar in various parts of the exercises. There were simple cardio burst dispersed throughout. This is a really unique workout and I felt quite challenged. I am not very good at ballet or boxing, although I like them both. Leila varied the tempo quite a bit. The faster she would go, the harder it would be for me to controls the move and it didn't matter if she was doing boxing drills or ballet drills. ...

Aerospace Serene is a 30 minute stretch program lead by Leila Fazel and narrated by Michael Olajide. First let me say Michael is very easy to listen to. For the most part, I do not like narrated workouts, but his workouts I do not mind. With this 30 minute program you are getting a pretty thorough stretch for the upper and lower body. Each pose is held sufficiently to stretch the muscles and most poses are doable. The workout features traditional stretches and yoga postures. There is a pretty good flow to the exercises as you move from one stretch position to the next. All in all an incredibly solid workout that does its job. 3 1/2 out of 5 stars
