It combines flexibility, strength and endurance training to give you that 'edge' you've been looking for. Have you ever wondered why some men do so well with women? Why do some average-looking guys exude such self-confidence? Join fitness expert Andy Troy, CSCS, as he clues you in to his all-natural, A-to-Z approach, designed to give you that special advantage. As a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist Andy Troy is trained to take a specific physical activity, be it basketball or yardwork, and to figure out what exercises will help you to perform it more safely and effectively. In The Bedroom Workout he treats sex as he would a sport and maps out a no-nonsense game plan designed to help you win. Men are constantly bombarded with spam and advertising saturated with unrealistic promises to turn them into a sex machine overnight through drugs, surgery, and all sorts of 'sexual secrets.' Meanwhile the most crucial prerequisite to high masculine potency and self-confidence - solid physical conditioning - is being neglected. The Bedroom Workout for Men is a serious program grounded in research and fitness expertise, presented in a discreet and spirited way. It contains no nudity or explicit material. The program offers exercises that can be done without special equipment, at home or while traveling, plus a full in-gym program of strength training and cardio. An on-screen progress bar accompanies each set of reps in real time showing the positive, negative, and isometric phases of movement. Each phase is prompted with a unique audio tone.

 Rating:  - It went in the garbageThis was a huge waste of time and money. I exercise regulary and am in o.k. shape. If you can say the same, don't waste your money. If you are a bit hefty and don't get any exercise this may be for you... but, any type of exersize is good in that case, it is more a matter of if you can enjoy it. I would recommend a jog or bicycle ride instead. Rating:  - hour better spent in the gymDid you know that running can increase your stamina for sex or that doing push-ups can help you hold yourself up? If you're a complete couch potato and don't know anything about exercise, this DVD might be useful for you. If you already have a regular weight and cardio routine, just stick with it, don't neglect your trunk and core exercises, and pass on the DVD. Rating:  - An excellent and innovative product!I was initially drawn to this DVD as somewhat of a novelty item - there are seemingly hundreds of fitness DVDs geared towards women, and vitually none directed at men. I went ahead and bought the DVD for my boyfriend's birthday, and we both ended up being quite impressed with it. As others have mentioned, while the idea of "sexual fitness" might make some people hesitate, there is absolutely nothing off-color or vulgar about this DVD. Andy Troy is a pleasant, straight-forward and no-nonsense personal trainer who guides his male client through a comprehensive and common-sense workout. From the importance of warming-up and stretching through the conditioning of various body parts, and ending with a discussion of cooling down and aerobic activity, Andy Troy presents a lot of knowledge in a digestible format. Even without the added value of enhancing sexual fitness, I feel that this product functions extremely well as a basic fitness routine for everday life that many men could benefit from. At a recent fitness event in NYC, I heard a rumour that Andy Troy is actually 48 years old. In the DVD he does not seem to be anywhere near that age! If this rumour is actually true, then perhaps rejuvenation is another side benefit of this DVD. Rating: - Excellent Advice!The Bedroom Workout for Men is an excellent buy! My sister recommended it to me, and I could not believe how professional and helpful it was! I will admit that the title scared me, but everything is so nicely done that I don't feel as if I need to hide it from the kids. My husband and I are fairly active, and we utilize a variety of conditioning methods, and I will tell you that this DVD complements any of them. In addition to being a complete workout, Mr. Troys's tips and information can be applied to any training regimen and at any fitness level. I am very impressed, and hope to se more from this crew! Rating: - useful & informativeI read about this DVD in the current issue of "Exercise For Men Only" magazine (page 114) and decided to check it out. First let me say that I'm not a serious fitness guy but I DO have an interest in staying in shape and who doesn't want better sex, right? I've bought books, videos and DVDs before that promised to improve my sex life, often full of wild claims. I usually found the wilder the claim the less substance it actually had. Still, I thought, if I get one or two useful ideas out of it it's worth a lot more then 20 bucks. For once I wasn't disappointed. I found the information this DVD contained to be both valid and useful. It's organized in a way that made a lot of sense to me. Also, I was impressed by the tasteful way it was done. After seeing it once I was actually able to watch it with my wife and get her opinion, something I wouldn't be comfortable to do with something smutty. The graphics showing the practical applications are a nice touch as are the audio and visual cues. All told this DVD makes reasonable claims and more then delivers on them. I'm sure once it catches on it will become as popular as it deserves to be. |
All three principals sing eloquently and with a fine sense of the opera's structure and context. Anna Tomowa-Sintow is in even better voice than Domingo, and Giorgio Zancanaro heads an expert supporting cast. The Covent Garden Chorus, directed with distinction by Michael Hampe, gives a memorable impression of the revolutionary mob. Julius Rudel's conducting is totally idiomatic. --Joe McLellan
Lotfi Mansouri spared no effort or expense in making this production special. He personally directed the staging, and handpicked an outstanding cast (right down to the very young and then-unknown Ben Heppner in the small role of Hervey). The visual elements--sets, costumes, and camera work--are also handled with great care, and Sutherland's positive response to this dedication can be sensed in her performance as the unfortunate wife of King Henry VIII. James Morris is best-known as a Wagnerian singer--perhaps the leading Wotan of our time--but he is equally at home in many of the villainous roles that are the fate of bass- baritones (Iago, Scarpia, Don Giovanni). In this sinister tale of an innocent woman ruthlessly destroyed, he shows a surprising knack for the bel canto style. Judith Forst is also excellent in the role of Jane Seymour. --Joe McLellan
