"I own about 50 exercise DVDs and this one is definitely one of my faves. It has one 30 minute workout focused on upper body & abs and the other focused on lower body and abs. The best workout I've ever gotten in 30 minutes flat and I definitely saw results in 10 days just like it promised.
Plus the instructor is informative and not at all irritating. =)"
Good workout, annoying trainer!

"The workouts on this DVD are great! I really work up a good sweat and get my heart rate up. I typically do both workouts together as one long routine for the most intense workout. One on it's own wasn't quite enough for me. However for a beginner I think alternating the 2 workouts, one per day doing a different one each day would be quite sufficient. Just since using both workouts as one every other day (and on the off days doing cardio only) I have actually lost 3 lbs and this is just my first week! And I have been at a bit of a plateau in my weight loss for about 3 months! After losing 66lbs and getting very close to goal things slowed wayyyyy down, and I was looking for something to help me breakthru so I can continue towards my goal, and this seems to fit the ticket! So I have only done it 3 times(maybe it would count as 6 since I have done them both 3 times haha!). I bought this to add a little variety to my routine of mostly Jillian Michael's dvds, I love her Banish Fat Boost Metabolism DVD it's an amazing cardio workout! And it's the one I rotate with my 10 days to a Better Body DVD.
The trainer Cindy Whitmarsh is not my cup of tea at all! I don't like peppy, and no I do no think "push ups are awesome!" She is almost sing-songy during the workout and doesn't really give the push or motivation I am used to with Jillian. At one point she even says something along the lines of "I'm not going to push you, you know your comfort level." In any event the workout is pretty friggin great which is all that matters :) I simply mute her and listen to some good tunes! Don't not buy this one just because of the trainer. It is WELL worth it for the workout! Make sure you have 2 sets of weights, a light one and a heavier one. I use 5lb and 10 lb weights, but it is totally up to you.
If you're looking for a good hard workout that will have you sweating this is an excellent addition to your workouts!"
Great Workout!

"This is a wonderful well rounded workout DVD. This is now one of my favorites. I like to combine cardio and weights to keep my heart rate up and this does a great job of that. Both the upper body and lower body segments are well rounded to work a good combinations and the cardio segments are challenging. I would say I am an advanced level of fitness and this fits in great to my workout routine."
