"I debated on wether to give this 4 or five stars. I settled at 4. The main reason is because when you opt for the total body sculpt at the main menu of the dvd it skips over the lower body portion. Antoher reason for the rating is because another set of repitions or more reps would of made the dvd more effective. Overall this is a goood dvd. The upper body portion is first. Hammer curls, triceps extensions,rows, and chest presess are the main exercises. The lower body portion is supposed to be second since it was skipped when I opted for the play all option I did it after all the others segments. This is the segment that is lacking in reps. Some exercises you only do 12 reps which is not enough. So I suggest you do this segment before hitting the play all and possible do it twice. This section consists of a side lunges, a variation of a dead lift, leg extensions, and leg raises. The next segment is the abs most of the work is done on the floor on your hands and knees. There are the killer side planks with a twist where you will really feel a burn. The cardio section is a brief 10 mintues it did not do much to get my heart rate up but you could do the moves faster. The section consits of step touch,leaps, kicks, repeaters, and jumping rope in place. The last segment is the stretch and sulpt section. As far as stretching goes it does not do much for me I opted to stretch some more after the dvd. There were some pilates moves in this section too. Overall the stretch and sculpt section is a bit of a letdown I did not really feel any stretch or a burn from the sculpting exercises. I like Cindy Whitmarsh she is a good instructor and her dvd's are pretty good. The exercises in this dvd are effective and can be preformed by any fitness level. If your looking for more intesity I suggest you repeat the desired segment and increase your weight. This is good for maintaining weight and toning up."

Best workout ever!

"The workout segments are great for people like myself that have 2 young kids to take care of. It gets you excited and you can feel your muscles tension."

Pretty bad

"Agree with previous reviewer; as a fitness pro myself, I find her weight-lifting speed dangerous and ineffective (too fast and thus uses momentum to lift), and in the cardio portion, she's not even with the beat, which is very annoying. Big disappointment."
