5.0 out of 5 stars Really Burns the Fat!, July 29, 2010

This review is from: 10 Minute Solution: Rapid Results Fat Burner (DVD)

Each section of a Ten Minute Solution workout makes every minute count! As with most Ten Minute Solution DVDs, you burn the most fat in the shortest amount of time. This is the first time I have done a workout with Catherine Chiarelli, and it's her first Ten Minute Solution DVD. She doesn't say much beyond telling you what to do, but I prefer that to a chatty instructor. Although the moves are not very original, I liked the workouts because they live up to the DVD's title of fat burning. You know your burning calories when the instructor is occasionally breathing hard! You can program any combination of sections 1-5 below so that your workout is 10 to 50 minutes long.

Power Sports Drills

This section starts with 2.5 minute warm up with moves like step touches, squats, jumping jacks, leg stretches, "gate swings," which are plies with hands moving from front to side, and "leg crossovers." In the body of the workout there are 5 sport drills, and each is approximately 1-1.5 seconds long. The first drill takes you to the soccer field. You start by dribbling an imaginary ball with your feet. Next, you kick the ball. Then, you go back to dribbling. The second drill takes you to the volley ball court. First, you do a lunge wit underhand bump. Next, you "charge the net," spike an imaginary ball, and fast feet back to starting point. The third drill takes you to the basketball court. Step side to side, and then prep for and take fake jump shots. The fourth drill takes you to the hockey rink. You do "stop the puck" moves that look a bit like side lunges. The fifth drill is speed and agility. First, you do a lunging move forward and back on one leg. Second, you do a jumping back-front-side move. Third you switch to second leg for lunging move. Finally, you end with a cool down.

Extreme Intervals

The purpose of this section is to alternate between high intensity exercises and active recovery. You do a couple of sets of each interval. You start with 30 seconds of warm up with stretches. Some sample interval combinations are jumping and slow squats, jumping with high and low knees, jumping with split squat and alternating lunges, and fast and slow skaters. Last, there is a quick cool down.

Low Impact Fat Blaster

This routine includes "oldies, but goodies." The quick warm up starts with arm circles, hamstring curls, and marches. There are two 5-minute mini-routines of "back to basic" moves. The moves build on each other, so that you learn the moves in small chunks and repeat. Some sample moves form the first routine are mambas, pivots, "punch forwards," slides, leg lifts, step backs, squats, kicks, and lunges. Some sample moves from the second mini-routine are grapevines, v-steps, "punch-ups," out-out in-ins, hamstring curls, front kicks, and lunges. It ends with a quick cool down.

Rapid Results Kickboxing

This workout tarts with a quick 30 second warm up of squats, pulse lunges, and boxer shuffles. The body of the workout has basic kickboxing combinations of kicks, punches, and boxer shuffles. Finally, there is a quick cool down.

Cardio Max

This workout combines simple, high intensity moves into two 5-minute mini-routines. The moves in each routine build on each other so that you learn the moves in small chunks and repeat. Sample moves from the first mini-routine are side steps, v-steps. Hops, knee crosses, jumping jacks, and lunges. Sample moves from the second mini-routine are leg extensions back, knee ups, step touches, running in place, "hoping a box," squats, and side lunges. Last, there is a quick cool down.

This review is from: 10 Minute Solution: Rapid Results Fat Burner (DVD)

Like all of the 10 minute solution workouts, this is broken into 5 10 minute segments. This one is targeted towards more high intensity cardio. The difficulty level of this workout is probably for advanced beginners to intermediate. It is not as difficult as any of the Jillian Michaels workout dvds or even the biggest loser cardio bootcamp workout. I was hoping for a more difficult workout so if you are looking for something on par with Jillian Michaels or Amy Bento, this is not that workout

No equipment is required for this workout and the moves are not very difficult to learn (and I am not particularly coordinated). There is quite a bit of jumping and plyometrics in this one which is good for the heart rate (not good if you have knee problems).

Minor faults:

The cueing between moves was not always very good and the low impact segment seems to drag on and the intensity (and my heartrate also dropped quite a bit). In the future, I will do this segment first as a 10 minute warm-up

Pluses:

The sports drills were quite a bit of fun as was the kickboxing section. For the most part, this workout does get the heart rate up. The instructor is peppy without being annoying and the moves are relatively easy to master.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too dancy for me, but a good workout, December 16, 2010

If you like to dance and can remember routines easily, this is a great workout. It got my heart rate up and I sweated plenty. If you are like me and learn steps slowly and have trouble remembering dances, you may not love this one. A couple of times, by the time I figured out exactly what she was doing, she started doing something new. I prefer a routine where she tells you to do 20 squats, then she tells you to do 20 jumping jacks etc. "Take it from the top" is not a phrase I want to hear during a workout. I find exercise relaxing, except when I'm trying to follow a routine I simply can't remember, then its just frustrating. I found myself doing jumping jacks when I was lost in the routine- I could have done that without a video. Some people may love this, I just don't.
