Awesome workout!!!
I love this workout! The first time I tried this video I wasn't expecting to make it too far before having to quit. But to my surprise, I finished all 3 segments. This is one of my favorites so far because it doesn't seem like an hour of exercise (at least not until the next day!).

I work out at a health club (cardio and circuit), but not regularly enough to achieve good results (at age 40+), so I was looking for a flexible at-home solution to augment the health club.

A little about myself...I am great cardio shape however I don't lift weights. I decided I didn't want to spend anymore time at the gym then I currently do so I figured a DVD would be a great place to start. Here is why I love the video:
*It works your whole body
*Each section is 20 minutes (upper, lower, core) and you can choose how many sections you want to do based upon your time limitations or focus.
*Every move is done for 60 seconds straight. It takes your muscles near exhaustion and this is a great way to build muscle quickly and prevents "bulking-up".
*Every 4 minutes there is 1 minute of cardio drills (high knees, jumping jacks, boxing in place, etc...). This is a great way to get the heart-rate up and feel like ... Read More
Great Workout!!
This is the best workout dvd I've ever used. Watching the trainers perform the moves is very motivational (there are low and high level options for each move). You will get an outstanding workout!
