No time to exercise? Research shows that several short bouts of exercise accumulated through the day have almost the same health and weight-loss benefits as one long session. Specifically, 10 minutes of exercise, three times a day, has practically the same benefits as 30 minutes all at once. This video makes that approach easy. The athletic instructor presents five different 10-minute workouts that you can mix and match according to your schedule and preferences. She teaches alone (no class, no club) and cues clearly. She packs a lot of exercise variety into the following workouts:

• "Boot camp": Alternate sport-conditioning moves--like lunges, jogs, and some jumping moves--with muscle work. You'll need a chair and dumbbells.

• Pilates: Firm your abs with a challenging approach that uses the core muscles of the torso in a unique way that does not resemble your usual crunches or sit-ups.

• Kickboxing: This high-powered aerobic workout uses kicks and punches to burn calories fast.

• Ballet: Shape your legs and buttocks with barre exercises.

• Yoga: These yoga exercises were chosen to strengthen as well as stretch your muscles.

If you find yourself with just a few minutes to work out, grab this video and you'll get the most out of your time. --Joan Price

I have an entire workout video library, but I have to say, I love this workout! You can do all five mini-workouts for a great entire body workout, or just do what sections interest you that day, depending on how much time you have. The pilates section is incredible! You can really feel your abs the next day! And, who can't find 10 minutes in their day for a mini-workout? I got this tape because I have a new baby, and sometimes 10 mintues is all I have. With this tape I can get a great, effective, and fun workout in every day!

This tape has a lot of variety in its workouts, which kept me from getting bored with it. It is divided into five 10-minute segments, and each segment is designed to be a workout by itself. This was great for me because I have two small kids and sometimes 10 minutes is all the time I have before one of them needs me for something. On the other hand, when I get more time than that I just keep working through the segments one after the other. This way you can get up to a 50-minute workout. This is just the right type of video for getting back into shape (which I needed after my second child was born) or for getting started on a regular exercise routine if you haven't been on one previously. The Pilates segment is especially good for toning up an out-of-shape tummy; the Boot Camp and Kickboxing segments give a short but effective aerobic workout; and the Ballet and Yoga segments are nice for stretching and strengthening the muscles.

I bought this video for the varied workout styles and the time saving element. It definately does have great variety and you do feel that you are getting a good workout in the short bursts of time. I tend to combine two or three of the sections, starting out slow and building. But this video is not for beginners. This is a fast-paced video. The instructor goes over the move and then bam, she's into it. I've been working out for a while and I find it hard to keep up. I guess when you only have ten minutes you need to keep it moving along, but I feel that this video is for people who are already working out and are a quick study.
