"I always love it when Prevention release another workout because I get bored easy and I like to mix workouts up. I've loved all of the other Prevention workouts and knew I'd love this too. Chris Freytag leads again and does another superb job. There are two aerobic routines and five targeted toning workouts. The dvd is programmable so you can do them in any order and do as many or as little as you want. That's a big plus so you don't get bored or pushed for time. You can choose whether you need to lose weight or just firm up etc. If, for example, you pick that you need to lose weight, there is a six day week with the routines mapped out for you already. That is so helpful. The moves are all basic no frills moves, but they are effective. The first cardio section is low impact and the second is a variety of low and higher impact moves making it just that little bit harder. The body parts are all the ones you want to workout; arms, butt, abs and thighs. All you really need for this dvd is dumbells and a lot of energy. This is so easy to do due to the programming, so there really is no excuse for not working out. This can be done by practically anyone.
I also love how the other two girls exercising as well, aren't the kinds that yell and shout etc. They are as professional as Chris."
Great work out to getting started! not for advanced though..

"I love this work out!!! The routine only takes a few times to catch on in the cardio A & B so don't worry about getting discouraged like other routines when you are falling over your own feet trying to keep up. I have lost weight utilizing the cardio and mixing and matching the other targeted areas. I have been using this DVD for 1 month now and highly recommend it."
It's alright

"I like that you can customize your workout or use a pre programed one. There is the option of only having music and no talking which is nice. The cardio segments are about 13 minutes each and the toning segments are about 5. There is a total toning segment and it is about 10 minutes. The cardio didn't get my heart beat elevated like some other dvds I have. The toning segments had good exercises, but my muscles didn't feel tired after doing them. I think this dvd is geared more towards beginners."
Good for beginners

"I travel for work, so I often rely on fitness DVDs to help me stay in shape. I've only been working out seriously for a few months, and this DVD is definitely too easy for me. There are 2 cardio workouts, 5 toning work outs, a warm up, a cool down, and an all over toning workout. This seems great, but when you actually look at the details, you'll see that the cardio workouts are only 13 minutes each, and the toning workouts are only 5 minutes each. So when you actually look at the pre-set workouts (without warm up and cool down), you're only getting about 20 minutes of real exercise.
I would say this is a good DVD if you've never exercised or you are really out of shape. But even if you've been exercising for a little while, you'll probably find it too easy. I strongly recommend The method cardio bootcamp, or 10 minute solutions carb burner, or 10 minute solutions pilates. All three of these videos will give you the ability to choose your workouts or combine smaller segments into a longer workout. If you're looking for a good toning workout, try Self Bikini Ready Fast."
Easy to use program

"Great program. Easy to follow. Segments can be customized or choose a pre-set program. I'm an older woman and found this program to be "do-able.""
