Product Reviews

(4 stars) - dvd
The DVD has a few very good workouts on it. However this was a deal where the DVD was "free" if you subscribed to the magazine - and I never got the magazine. So essentially the DVD cost around $15. Not a very good bargain at that price.

(2 stars) - Not the best
I bought this hoping for a really great workout, and was very disappointed. It's very ballet-like and non-impact, so I'm sure there is a subset of people out there who will love it. If you want to really sweat-then no. It does offer a lighter change of pace if you normally do more intense workouts. Still, it just felt lame. The most annoying thing was the video was so distorted, it made the chic look 8 feet tall and about 50 pounds. That was a little disturbing, like exercise from another dimension?

(4 stars) - Fast, Easy, Fun!
Great and simple workout! I loved how quick and effective the 20 minute workout was. The instructor is bubbly and easy to follow. I really like the 10 minute body area specific workouts too. They included new and easy exercises that I hadn't done before. And one of my favorite things about this workout dvd is that you don't need alot of space to do the workouts, and you don't need a ton of equipement either. Just some hand weights! The simpler, the better for me!

(3 stars) - Mixed thoughts on this one :-l
First off, let me say that I loathe workouts that aren't done in time to the music; either don't play music, or keep up with it, because in the first exercise here, the leg lifts are done with increasing and then decreasing speeds and then increasing again ... it is taxing on the leg muscles, although that could also be because there was NO WARMUP!!!!!!!!! A few shoulder presses and that's practically it. I mean, for a supposed cardio workout, you need to warm up.
Having said that, the instructor is friendly, encouraging and cues well. I like the fact that there are variations for different fitness levels and I like the 10 minute routines at the end too - although when I played the arm workout, she goes into planks for abs ... Go figure.
Anyway, this workout is good for intermediates and the instructor is likeable and they use a nice set and good music (if only she'd keep to the beat). If you want to do this, I suggest doing your own decent warm up first, because on cold muscles, it's a shock to them for sure, but after doing that yourself, this is a good dvd to workout to.

(5 stars) - Great time saving workout
High intensity, low impact; Combine a lot of different musical groups with the exercise. I love it.
