User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars My #1 Ab Workout!
I am a big fan of ab workouts on DVD and this is definately my favorite. The intensity on the advanced ab segment is great. He go’s through each exercise for one minute and it is challenging!I haven’t used the remaining workout segments.
5 Stars Short but effective
This is a very versatile DVD. When I’m short on time, I’d pick this one because when I’m done, I’d truly feel that I had a good workout. On cardio day, I’d do the Speed Interval training on my rebounder so it would be easier on my knees and on strength training day, I’d do the Advanced Abs followed by the Muscle Toning routine. I use the warm up portion from this DVD and I just add a little more stretching on my own at the end. The Muscle Toning part where you’d have your arms above your head while doing squats for 90 seconds was VERY challenging. During the first round, I had 5 lb dumbbells on each hand and I almost didn’t finish it so the second time around, I used 3 lb dumbbells and I was breathing hard after 90 seconds. I’d be sore the next day or 2 after doing this routine…Highly recommend this DVD. It’s short but very effective in my opinion.
5 Stars Great workout!
I really like this workout DVD and it’s one of the ones I use consistently. Its offers great all around exercises for the whole body. Even though it’s a little tough, it’s fairly short and sweet.
3 Stars Have introductions/descriptions elsewhere, please
Good workout, with an instructor who cues well. Countdowns for the timed segments. Some beginner modifications.
What I didn’t like:
When you have a separate intro section, and this DVD does, introduce your fellow exercisers there, not in the workout segments. You get tired of hearing the intros each and every time. Same with the workout breakdown/technique explanations/equipment required, do it elsewhere, so that you’re not just standing there wasting time.
Warning to those who don’t like high-impact cardio, this DVD has some, and little in the way of modifications. Wouldn’t be quite so bad if it were done on grass or a mat or carpet. I wish people would remember that “aerobic” doesn’t necessarily have to be rough on the joints.
3.5 stars.
5 Stars Ahead of the class
I have been using this DVD through Netflix and as a person who is lethargic, I am still in the basic set of exercises. However, I have examined a number of workout videos and did not care for them, here’s why:
* In most DVDs, either the camera work, or the instructor leave you guessing as to what you are supposed to be doing. The instructor is excellent about explaining and cuing you to the next move.
* The instructors don’t necessarily explain what benefit you get out of the exercises, but this instructor does. Additionally, he will remind you of points to be concerned in the middle of an exercise so you can improve your workout and form.
* Most DVDs are too slow or too fast. This one lets you hurt yourself at your own pace — if you are not ready, you stick to basic. If you need more of a workout, you do the intermediate which is shown in parallel with the basic.
One minor update: It is good enough that I ordered it, so as not to tie up my Netflix slot any longer!
