"I often read Womens Health, so when I saw they brought out some exercise dvds, I snapped them up. They are really good and I love this one in particular.
It's a fantastic aerobic/toning workout and Amy Dixon cues really well and makes this fun and is encouraging and motivating. I haven't done or seen a workout of hers, but I'm so impressed with this. If you put in a lot of effort on this, you will get a lot of results. It's tough but great and fun to do. It's easy to follow and do and she tells you often throughout that you can do it and to push yourself a little harder. The cardio moves are athletic style (like kickboxing, jogging and ski moves) and the toning moves are classic kinds. You have easier options to choose from so that makes it fairly do-able for many people.
I really recommend this dvd as it's so well put together with the right type of exercises to get you in tip top shape, and an instructor who's not annoying but motivating and makes this an enjoyable workout."
Not as good as I expected it to be..

"Well, on the positive side - the instructor is nice and encouraging, at least some of the moves are new and interesting. But here's what I didn't like:
- it is short - 38 min
- I found the women in the background annoying with their 'enthusiastic' oohs and aahs and yeahs
- it is not challenging, I have no idea how you are supposed to burn 'up to 500 kcal' in one session. I am a 5'7'', 143 lbs woman, I did all the advanced moves except for one round of jumping jacks and burned 185 kcal
I would definitely recommend the 'old' WH DVDs instead - "The Wedding Workout" and "Train for your body type""
SO much better than your average workout DVD.

"I finally received my DVD's based on a recommendation by a friend, and I am SO happy that I did. These new Women's Health workouts are so far superior to anything else I have, it's ridiculous. The star Amy Dixon has more energy than anyone I've ever seen. Seriously. It must be a redhead thing. I couldn't recommend them enough.
I would definitely say you should get both of these tapes to mix it up a bit, but for anyone just deciding between the two, here's a word of advice based on my initial testing... The Ten Minute one is definitely for everyone. It's amazing because who can't workout for ten minutes? And there's four different ones. But the Ultimate Fat Burn, while personally is my favorite, is definitely a little harder of a workout. If you're just a beginner, it may be a little difficult for you. But like I said before, I'd get them both. Slow days? Ten Minute Workout. Harder Days? Ultimate Fat Burn.
I hope this helps. They really are amazing tapes. I hope they make more. The look of them is really different than anything I've seen. It's not just in an empty room. It really helps.
Enjoy them, and happy working out!"
Buy this DVD!

"This is the one to buy. Unparalleled in its energy, fun, and effectiveness, this video is the one I'd like to have if I were stranded on a desert island. Amy Dixon knows her stuff!"
Great Home Workout DVD

"After Slim in Six I avoided buying another home workout DVD. The problem I have with most home workout DVDs that the routines are too long, the instructor spends too much time on the same boring/difficult combination and the music is more likely to put you to sleep rather than pump you up. But Ultimate Fat Burn is not like that. The entire routine is only 40 mintues long (unlike 70 minutes for Slim in Six). The combinations are fun and she moves through them quickly. You never feel like you've been squatting (or whatever) for too long and when she says 8 more, she really means 8 more. You don't get tricked into doing 8 more after you were promised only 8 more. Amy and crew take you through 1 lower body routine, 1 upper body routine and 2 cardio routines. The moves are fun and not too difficult, but are designed to make you sweat. My only disappointment is that there isn't any abdominal routine on the DVD. I recommend this DVD to anyone (beginner to intermediate) who doesn't have a lot of time to workout and is looking for a fun, quick, easy to follow and effective fat burning workout."
