"These five workouts are really great. They are full of energy, and the instructors are all knowledgeable and friendly. They cue well and get you motivated. After advertising their prefered brand of water (Propell), they go straight into it. One of the five exercisers usually has a calorie burner moniter on, and at the end of the workout, you find out how much they burned during the workout and you'll know you roughly got the same. The music is great and the set is nice and hip.

Each of the five workouts are approximately 25 minutes in cardio (then there is a warmup and cool down). There is kickboxing, dancy combos, grapevines, shuffles and mixes of low and high impact to name a few. I love how you can mix the workouts up so you'll never get bored, and while some are a little tricky to follow, it's fun trying to get there and improve on your last try.

You don't need any equipment for these routines and they really are so much fun. You have to give them a go. You'll love it, have fun and burn heaps of calories (especially if you put quite a few of these segments together)."

Propel Ad - Oh and Some Cardio Workouts as well!

"Beware Reviews of this DVD Where The Reviewer Has Only Reviewed Star Trainer Videos, as they may be from the company or from the advertiser! While we live in an age of advertisements, it is beyond comprehensible for a company to insist that before each workout the instructor must mention to "bring your Propel" and get ready to workout. And then to top it off, each workout is stopped for a Propel water break, in which the instructor and the people working out behind him or her, explicitly show that they are drinking the branded water! The camera even zooms in on the water bottles before they are picked up from the floor! If anything, we should all ban Propel for pushing this onto a DVD we have purchased. Banning companies that cross the line may be the only way to get through to them, and hopefully stop this practice in its tracks. If they really needed to advertise, maybe they should have just had the instructor wear a "Propel" t-shirt or something. But since they did not, I will never drink Propel again!"

Great variety, great cardio, great instruction

"Sometimes there's nothing like a good, pure cardio workout, which you'll get with this DVD, along with other benefits. Violet Zaki's kickboxing/martial arts will sneak in some toning, and the cardio bursts in Kimberly and Kendall's workouts will get you some added burn. Rob Glick's workout is a bit more challenging as far as choreography, but not overly demanding physically, and Gay Gasper's is good, old fashioned aerobics. You can't go wrong here. I'll admit the propel plugs are annoying, but it was probably necessary to fund production. Each workout is roughly 30 minutes, so you can mix and match depending on what your goals are. There's something here for everyone."

Good variety

"Awesome DVD! There are 5 solid intermediate workouts for a great price and even better when you find it on sale! There is good variety and while some are more complex then others (Rob Glick is fairly complex) I think there is a little bit of everything in there. The advertising is brief but present... and I'm willing to deal with it if it means they can pack THIS many workouts on one DVD. My favorite workouts were from Kendell, Violet, and Kimberly for differing reasons. Violet will leave your legs screaming but in a good way, Kendells is just fun, and Kimberly because she's just enjoyable to work with."
