This is another fantastic workout from 10 Minute Solution. There's no excuse for not doing some form of workout when there are these kinds of workouts on the market. This particular dvd is really good and will definately help to get rid of your trouble zones.
Each of the segments uses a resistance band to help you sculpt various areas of your body - you get a 6 foot band with the dvd. When you change your hold on the band, you get different intensity with every move you do. You can make up your own routine by mixing up the order in which you play this. There is the usual upper body, lower body, abs, arms and shoulders and a complete body segment. Amy is a brilliant instructor who is enthusiastic and encouraging, but not annoying. She cues really well and that just makes this whole workout that much better.
If you are short on time, then this is for you. You can do either 10 minutes alone or join a couple of segments together to get a longer workout. You will have to combine this with some cardio, but I can't recommend this highly enough because of the fun factor and the fact you can fit this in on any day. I love it.

This is my first experience with an exercise DVD and I love working with the resistance band while doing exercises. The explanations are cleaar and easy to follow and even though I am 70 years old, I am committed to getting into shape. The exercises are fun and even though I cannot do the floor exercises, I do what I can and feel good about it!

Although I have been an avid Amazon shopper for nearly 10 years, this is the first time I felt inclined to write a review. I love this DVD. I love that you can customize your workouts (i.e. Monday: Thighs and Butt, then Upper Body), Tuesday Upper Body, Ten Minute Stretch, etc.) to fit your specific needs and time frame. I usually add one ten minute session to the end of a cardio workout (walking, biking), and helps to rev up my metabolism even more! Amy is so great! She is very motivating - it seems like she is right there in the room with you encouraging you not to stop. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars was that there is not a lot of explanation of the moves, and she moved quickly from one move to the next...likewise, it may be a bit challenging for some beginners. To help with this, I would suggest watching it a few times through before trying it for yourself.

Amy Bento's workouts are consistently top-notch, and this one is no exception. Whether your a beginner or advanced, 10 Minute Solution: Tone Trouble Zones will provide you with a solid, well-rounded workout.

As owner of Advanced Workouts, I've been in the fitness industry for over fifteen years, and am at a very advanced fitness level. Even so, I found this workout quite challenging. Working your muscles in a variety of different ways that traditional free weight training cannot provide, the use of the resistance band will create that much sought-after "muscle confusion" to help fuel and propel your fitness level no matter your degree of fitness training. You'll break through plateaus and create more lean muscle.

In addition, Amy's typical personable attitude and encouragement makes this DVD enjoyable and motiviational. A must-have for my immense exercise DVD library, for sure!

I own several 10 minute solution dvds, that I truly enjoy doing. The
tone trouble zones, was a bit disappointing as she moves from one position to the next too quickly and it was difficult to get the band and posture right. I had to replay each segment twice in order to get the correct alignment of the band and enough reps to feel the work.

Not a bad workout, just not as effective as the other dvds that I've tried from this collection. I recommend the pilates and kickboxing workouts from 10 minute solution.

This dvd will really banish your trouble zones. The band give extra resistance to the exercises and the moves are unique, which makes doing it fun. The instructer is good, she is motivating without being irritating. I love how I can design my own workout and if I am short on time can do one or more depending on my schedule. This is a great addition to my collection and I highly recommend it!

I really liked this DVD. The moves really work the targeted muscle and I feel my arms are more toned doing this DVD versus free weights. It also gets your heart going. I burned approximately 250 calories doing the entire DVD (according my my heart rate monitor).
Minus one star because she moves into the next moves quickly and it can tricky to do at times with the band. But once you get used to the sequence it shouldn't be a problem.
Also, once this starts getting easier you MUST buy a higher-resistance band because the one provided is light. Your workout will definitely get harder!!!! That's the point of resistance bands.

A friend had another video in the 10 Minute Solution series, so I decided to try this one. I absolutely love it. The incorporation of the band means you can make it as difficult or easy as you want. Amy uses a bunch of simple positions, changing the placement and direction you pull on the band and it just amazes me how different it will make the moves. I get a great full-body workout and look forward to the next session using the video. She does talk quite a bit, but her voice isn't annoying.

There are five sections to the video, targeting different areas of the body, including:
-Arms and shoulders
-Butt and thighs
-Abs

The first three sections of the video focus on the above areas of the body, respectively. At least that's what Amy says; I feel like the sections all work everything, and the "target area" just a little more. The fourth section is supposedly a total body workout, but again I feel like they all do that. The last section is stretching. It still makes you sweat, just not hardcore like the other sections.

I am very impressed with this buy.

I like this video because she does challenge you but the pace is pretty fast, sometimes it's hard to move so quickly from one thing to the next without falling over the band. I often wonder if these quickie work out DVD's that tout 10 minute work outs are lacking in effectiveness because they don't do as many reps. However, this is THE BEST 10 minute stretch she has at the end that I've ever come across. I look forward to it everytime I work out... even if I go with a different DVD for my workout, I always pop this one in at the end for the stretch.

I bought this for Lady Hardbody, for the days that I don't train her (e.g. am on travel/whatev). The 10 Minute Solution series is a superb way to plan workout sessions, and even to integrate various elements of fitness from several conditioning platforms (e.g. flexibility, strength, cardio). The only "beef" I have with this DVD is that the resistance band that comes with the DVD is pathetic. Expect to have to go out and buy a stronger one.
