Great addition to my workout rotation.

I am always skeptical of another dvd to add to my collection.  However, this one has been added to my weekly rotation.  Most of the exercises are favorites from nearly 30 years of working out.  Amy's timing is nearly perfect and that is hard to find.  You can break it up in the well designed 10 minutes or roll right into the next segment.  Very well done. If you complete the entire workout and complete the flexibility and cooldown it is really worth your time.

This is an excellent piece of equipment and now part of my regular fitness program.  I was able to use it immediately and have gotten better each day with more use.  It gets the heart rate up, improves balance and is fun.

Love the large variety of exercises. Framed it so I can easily glance at it for the next exercise. I can carry it outside easily also when I use the TRX outside.

Having fun alternating this one with the CardioMax.  Able to intergrate the Killer Abs into the workout, as well.  Very happy with purchase.

I've been using this little machine to get a quick 30 min workout almost daily.  So far it has been a great way to get my cardio up and do so without putting too much pressure on my lower back. Those without good balance may have a slightly lower level of comfort with the motion without hand rails, but once you get used to it, the motion is almost like walking or biking depending on how much you bend your knees.

I enjoyed this workout. It added flavor to my normal routine. I would recommend trying it or mixing it in with your typical exercise regimen for variety

I have been running both outdoors and at the gym to stay in shape, but I was getting tired of the treadmill and was not seeing toned results. I enjoy the relaxing effect of yoga, but am not flexible enough to get much of a workout from the moves. This DVD made my legs shake, and they ached the next day. The instructions are easy to follow, and I love her reminders for maintaining correct form. I feel like I am getting an effective workout, and the peacefulness of the scenery and slow purposeful movements but me in a happy and calm mood for the rest of the day.

This is lots of fun and is part of my rotation of walk workouts. She is pleasant to work out with. Like the way the segments are layed out so you can do them all or the ones you enjoy the most. Highly recommend!

I'm glad I bought this product. While the weights included aren't very heavy, combined with the cardio I feel like its a good workout. The moves definitely get your heart rate up, but it isn't too complicated that you can't keep up with the footwork. (Even I can keep up with them! I am that girl in Step Class at the gym looking confused and 3 moves behind everyone else.) I've been doing the videos for couple weeks now, and I'm getting a lot of compliments on my appearance lately, so I'm pretty confident in the results of this set.

Great work out in relaxing environment. No obnoxious repetitive music. Leaves me sore enough to know that I got a good workout. Just my style.

Great workout. You can REALLY feel it the next day. I found the repetativeness nice because it allows me to focus on doing the exercise properly instead of figuring out the different moves.

I love using these bands during my workout for extra tension. So far they have worked out nicely, no issues.

Nifty little sliders. I always struggled with one workout video that suggested a towel to use in place of a great tool like this. Can't wait to revisit some of the workouts that require sliders. Fabulous addition to my home gym. I received a discount but no additional compensation for my review.

I love this workout - really hits the parts of my body I like to keep toned.  i just continue to add heavier weights to certain exercises so I don't feel like I'm not continuing to progress.

Last year, I lost a ton of fitness, so this year I've restarted trying to regain fitness capacity.  I started with about 15 minute workouts and have worked up to 40-45 minutes max.  In the process, I've built up my cardio capacity and strength.  I'm still not to where I want to be, but it's nice to see improvement.  At this point in time, I'm looking for workouts that engage me and encourage me to work out for longer and harder than I have been able to for a long time and it's working.

When this DVD was anounced, I was surprised at my interest because I don't have a workout machine.  But, I immediately wondered if I could use my gliding disks with this workout - doing my own thing sliding around the room while they are all on their cardio machines.  After trying both workouts on the DVD, the results are mixed.  I did each of the workouts and enjoyed them both - but I wondered if I would pull out the DVD again in the next few months to do them again.  I guess only time will tell.  I used my gliding disks and my Fitstix.  It occurred to me that I could wear light hand weights to enhance the level of effort during the cardio sections.  This conflicted feeling means that I think that the workouts are well done and worth doing - if you click with them.

Kelly leads these workouts on a bright and fairly plain set. She encourages you to use whatever machine you have and gives multiple examples: she and Sam are on treadmills; Lori uses an elliptical, and Marcus is on a spin bike. Both workouts are basically the same pattern - warm up on the machine, do a cardio interval for 1.5 minutes and then one strength move for a minute, and finally cool down on the machine.  I liked the first workout more than the second; I thought the strength moves were a bit more fun in the first. Most of the time, you need just one dumbbell, although there were a few moves that used two.  So, all you need for the workout is something for the cardio and 2 dumbbells.

Throughout the workouts, Kelly gives tips and form pointers for the different machines.  She also tells people on treadmills to follow Sam in getting on and off the treadmill because she, Kelly, gets on and off at full speed while Sam slows the treadmill down before getting off.  I'm not sure though that they always showed Sam at those times.

Overall, I liked these workouts and thought some of the strength moves were fun, especially the hot potato squat and the dumbbell throw (although I didn't let go of it).  The strength segments seemed short since they were only 1 minute, so you always seemed to be moving, either on or off the cardio machines.  For those who like to longer sets, this pattern might not be very good. The fact that I was getting on and off gliding disks made it easier to move quickly.  I was engaged throughout the workouts, but I wonder if this might be a short-term like - I might get tired of these workouts sooner rather than later.  We'll see.

It's great, just what I needed to add to my exercise routine, and build my strength...

I had a serious injury a couple of years ago from which I am still recovering. But I have reached a point where exercise and strengthening is really helping with that recovery. I have found that a few minutes of foam rolling to work the muscles before I start working out really seems to help. I also like to do a few minutes of foam rolling after I exercise and cool down. I have a couple of foam rollers and even a knobby hard plastic roller stick. I use different sizes/texture rollers for different muscles. So when I was offered this set at a discount for review purposes I thought why not, its another to add to my growing collection. I am glad I accepted because the texture and firmness is different on these and it works well. The inner roller comes out of the outer roller and is quite good as the smaller diameter works muscles differently than the larger diameter.

Overall I think this is a nice addition to my roller collection. I would also recommend trying a lacrosse ball. They work great for getting into smaller areas and joints. I use the lacrosse ball against the wall for working my shoulders and chest. One thing I have found in my experience is that I only need five minutes or so with the rollers to get a good benefit. I have a few friends that swear by 20-30 minutes of roller time, but I have tried that and it seems quite excessive for me. Five minutes seems to give me all the manipulation I need, unless I have some really stubborn muscles that ache from the previous days exercise, then I may go a few minutes longer.
