"I have to get up real early to do my exercise, so 20 minute intervals are perfect for me. On the weekend, I love to do all three. I never tried kick boxing before this tape, it is really fun and quite a workout. I couldn't believe what a good time my daughter and I had doing this tape together."
I liked 1 out of 3 of the segments.

"I am not much of an excerciser, so you would consider me a beginner. I bought this video because of the flexibility of doing one of the 20 minute segments at a time. The first night I fast forwarded to the cardio-kickboxing segment. I liked it a lot and found that it really got my heart beating and me sweating! The next day I did the dance-aerobic part. It was not for me. The moves were more about looking "smooth" than actually getting a workout. Donna also continued to say "I've got your back", which is kind of weird considering she isn't in my family room excercising with me. Last night I did the toning segment. It was OK, but I didn't feel like she concentrated on my arms very much. Overall, I would recommend this video to someone who has other videos in their library to choose from as well."

"I love this workout! This is a great DVD to get if you want to get fit! While Donna is perky and motivating, she doesn't grate on your nerves. The weight workout is well balanced and can easily be adapted to different levels by changing the weights. Its hard to believe you get such a thorough workout in only 20 minutes! The kickboxing section really makes you sweat and the dance section is funky and had some pretty good dance moves. As someone who gets bored VERY easily, I am always amazed how often I can do this! Donna is great at cueing and the camera doesn't do what alot of workout videos do. (WHY WHY do they focus on people's upper bodies when you are learning a new move???!!!) Anyway, even on days I am loathe to exercise, I can totally do this one, its fun!"
Fun for first-timers

"This was my first workout DVD (OR video, for that matter), and I really like it! Donna is upbeat and energetic. I feel like I get a good workout, even in just 20 minutes. I've done each workout at least once now, and it's easier to keep up. She throws in a lot of moves which can be hard to follow at first. But this also helps the time go quickly. Very important: this DVD includes advanced versions of each workout, so you're actually getting six workouts on one DVD. I especially liked the Kick & Jab. Dance Aerobics wasn't a very powerful workout, but it's still fun. Circuit Toning is terrific, and it's easy to tailor any of these programs to your current fitness level. They're all easy on the knees, too. I bought this DVD based on customer recommendations and am very pleased. Thanks, ladies!"
