Is the workout really good for toning up/slimming down?

Follow their nutrition plan along with their exercise regimen should tone your body. The bungee bands yield ample resistance.

Yes. I've been using this for a month and can already see results. There are two workouts on the DVD which really get you sweating. High reps Will also get u what ur asking about. Mine has been a great investment for the same thing.

I am finding the best results come from supplementing with a good cardio routine. For me, the "rapid weight loss" workout does not provide enough of a cardio workout. In terms of the other exercises, I definitely feel that I have had a workout afterwards (I typically combine 3-4 plus the warm up and cool down). Hope this helps. Good luck!

it helps with overall fitness. that is all it will help you with. no real weight loss will occur unless you change how you eat along with it. remember... 90% of what you look like is based on what you eat... tons of exercise gets you nowhere. as I have had others tell me, you can't outrun a bad diet

No, insanity makes you lose weight while getting tone and cut. Definitely core strength training at its finest. I wouldn't recommend if you want to bulk up.

Yes, it is a wonderful workout. I ordered the DVDs from Amazon. With them it was easy to progress from beginning to advanced. The machine affords an outstanding workout for both arms and legs. It also gives a great ab. workout. Overall, a great machine and a great workout.

YES! Definitely...any time you are moving is good for weight loss...the faster you bike or pedal the exercise bike, the more calories and fat you burn off. Weight Watcher's ppl always say the key to weight loss other than lots of water is movement...keep moving...hope this helped you and enjoy the new you after about a month or two of regular use of your bike...:)

I Love this machine. Does it work? It depends if you use it consistently. I feel great when I use it. I typically do squats, ab twists and air boxing to get a total body workout. Last week I actually was on with my weights. I do not regret getting this machine but give it your best and I believe it will be good to your body :)

Hi, Disclaimer: I am not a professional in working out. I did some weight training and it calculated my calories burned. So, I guess it is good as well. Hope this helps!

It does what it supposed to do, you can feel you and contracting with higher settings; does it help losing belly fat? Maybe it contributes about 10% at most; I feel that sit ups are more effective. It's an individual case though, it can work much better for you. Bottom line the product is good; I have had it for a long time now; it's of good quality and does work

Yes you will this woman has a great program. My problem is my time is limited at times with some personal issues at my house. The first two weeks I owned the program you will definitely feel the burn (in a good way) and I'm starting mine back up. In fact I have "decluttered" a lot of my other exercise dvd and sold them back to companies because this program is a good one. I'm 48 and overweight and sedentary life style and work a desk job. She has a little accent but you will adjust and I have read positive things about the program also.

Yes. It's not good for really obese people. It's hardcore. So 10 pounds would be perfect and get you toned.

Hi Eastcoast,I'm just finishing the month 1 DVD it's about 20min of the cardio (basically same moves as STTOldies DVDs) the toning is a little light -about 15min & the balance challenge is 10min. It's a good workout but I still do the Sweating to the Oldies 5 DVD w/ it. It's a little different than the oldies workouts but equally effective. I've lost 29lbs w/ both DVDs since Jan 16th. I love Richard Simmons too & I feel encouraged & excited to workout. I exercise 5-7 days a week. It's a worthy investment in my opinion. God bless you & I wish you well on your fitness goals.

I don't think it adds as much as something like an elliptical machine, and it's not a very intense workout, even at 30 minutes. On the other hand, it does add a little something. If you're looking for a relatively low cost, it's an okay option, but if you're looking for a really hard workout, it's not likely to be enough.

If you're a beginner, yes it can be helpful. It is a useful tool for exercising.

Hi, After a hip injury, my goal is to keep my legs and hips flexible. I enjoy using it, & I believe it is helping to do that. I haven't used it for my arms but that's another option, and can't really speak about 'toning'. I believe variety of activities that work all the various muscles is what we all want. I personally think it was well worth purchasing - as it's very well made, easy to use and doesn't take up much space.

Yes, it really gives results. You will feel the results after the first workout. The workouts are easy but they do work. I was doing the workouts and tightened my leg muscles so tight that I pulled a muscle. This was my stupidity because I thought I would work the kink out. I should have given my muscles a little break but I really enjoyed the exercises and did not. The next time when I can start back I will skip days in between and listen to my muscles. Laugh-Out-Loud. I do not regret the purchase. I love the fluidity Fitness exercises.

Most definitely yes it's the quickest way in my opinion. The cardio involved Is a good amount but with all the sets of lifting weights I believe you will not only loose the weight but you will get toned being key. And that goes a long way by shaping your body

I cannot say that I have lost weight while using the Les Mills Combat program, however, it WILL make you sweat! There is definitely a cardio element to the Les Mills Combat workouts. (I have not been using the program strictly. I have been using it as a supplement to a mix of workout programs. And I am not following any "diet" plan because I am more interested in toning than weight loss.) Give it a try! It is a fun workout program!
