Not what I expected
I opted for this as I was looking for something I could dip in and out of but was very disappointed. As a previous reviewer said, the abs section provides a perfect example of why this DVD wasn't for me. The instructor spent ages talking through technique but then you were expected to do the reps without the DVD. In general, I'd have found it more helpful to have a seperate technique section and then do the workout part "together", so to speak. I also didn't feel it offered enough challenge. Afraid it's off to the charity shop for my copy!

A reasonable workout
I'm no stranger to exercise, in my younger days I did step aerobics, circuit training, jogging and many different exercise vidoes, so was interested to see what this one was like.

It certainly looks as if it's worked for Tricia Penrose according to her before and after photos, but I don't think she got her new body just by doing this DVD alone.

It does give you an all over workout - concentrating on the upper and lower body as well as a fat burning session and ten minute blitz - but the DVD is very amateurely put together. At one point during the upper body bit for the arms and shoulders, the instructor seems to forget what he's meant to be doing. I also didn't like the way it stops between each section and goes back to the main menu - you can't fast forward it to stop it doing that either.

That said, if done everyday, this will give you an effective enough workout if you want to maintain your fitness level, but don't expect miracles.

Good Workout
You really feel like you have done a workout after this DVD, after a couple of times the steps come together and it is easy to follow. You can make it harder or easier depending on fitness, so hopefully this DVD will be useable even as my fitness develops

not bad
got this dvd yesterday and did it last night, music was good and did work up sweat. Did find couple bits hard to follow as the instructor is quite and does new moves fast but after doing dvd few times you would get no problem. The bit i didnt like is the toning sections especially the abs, as the are too short, the instructor tells you to do as many reps as you want at home which is fine, but you will be doing it to the dvd menu with no music which is not much motivation. Its advertised as her workout that toned her body, yet they dont tell you how much toning she did to get it as they just show you basics, is good workout but i work and have 8 month old son and have trouble finding time to exercise anyway without having to do more toning after dvd is finished.

This dvd is a fantastic way to introduce a beginner to exercise, if, like me, you buy the dvd's with good intention, but end up sitting down with a bar of chocolate and laughing at all the skinny minnies ponsing around, you'll probably be a bit sceptical, but this is different...not patronising at all. I would recommend this to anyone who isnt quite as motivated as they should be but wants to tone up and lose weight. The routines are simple but effective and you really work up a sweat!
The different sections are great...warm up...fat burner...10 minute body blitz...upper body tone...lower body tone...cool down...
All as hard working as the next...give it a try
