4 stars!!! Love it! I like how it is broken up into different areas, so can work all, or for shorter exercise periods can work only a few. Some segments are more aerobically challenging, one having bootcamp aspects, so you can note your favorites for future reference. A warmup and stretch segment is included, and each 6 minutes has core, which I like, the stomach being my problem area, and it includes different abdominal moves, a few I've never seen before. Also, good instruction given by Chris, and transitions are smooth, from one move to another, some just seem to follow naturally. This workout is a keeper, one I will use regularly.

I love all of the Chris Freytag Prevention DVD's. This is a great because it breaks the workouts into 6 minute segments so you can do them all or just a few depending on how much time you have.

"Wow, I've done this workout twice and love it. It combines it all, aerobics, strength training with weights and core work (abs).
It's called 3-2-1 because it has 6 circuits comprised of 3 minutes aerobics, 2 min strength and 1 minute floor work focusing on core and abs. Each circuit has a different theme and works a different body part. Themes include dance type aerobics, tae-bo style kicks and punches, and an absolutely beautiful power yoga sequence near the end.
It's great to get the aerobics and strength and abs all in one 45 minute or so workout and you WILL be sweating and feel you had a great workout by the end unless you take it down a notch. (They do suggest beginner modifications if you are not up to full throttle just yet).
I'm a loyal Prevention mag. reader and that's why I ordered this video and I'm not disappointed."
Motivating :-)

"This is a good dvd. There are six complete circuits - each one has about three minutes of cardio, two minutes of toning and one minute of corework. Chris Freytag's cuing is great and she has just the right amount of enthusiasm to motivate rather than annoy. My favourite cardio section is the Latin dance. Get thos dvd for all levels of fitness. There is one demonstrater that shows you a low impact version if you aren't overly fit yet. I totally recommend this."
Wonderful!!!

"Great production quality on this dvd. Bright set, good music, and excellent instruction. Chris Frytag had perfect cuing which made the workout very doable. There was a great deal of variety in this workout and my muscles were challenged. A perfect intermediate level cardio and toning workout. Good job Prevention magazine!!"
Too bad I let this sit on the shelf for so long!

"Holy moly! This DVD will kick your butt, while it tones your butt. Very clear instructions and lots of variety. 6 circuits = 3 min cardio, 2 min toning, 1 min core. At circuit 3 I was wishing it was over, by circuit 6 I felt so accomplished. This will no longer gather dust on my exercise shelf."
