4.0 out of 5 stars Worth It!, May 8, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: 10 Minute Solution - Workouts to Shape Up Your Whole Body (DVD)

I just got the DVD a couple of days ago and I really like the mix and match format. However, if you need music for motivation, skip this one.

There are 5 different 10 minute segments as follows:

Boot Camp - Light cardio, squats, push ups, etc. Need dumbells and a chair. This is billed as the 'strength training' segment and it's quick, but good.

Pilates - I've never done pilates before so it could be a typical pilates workout, but I was suprised to find it was all ab work. Very tough - something for my weak stomach muscles to work up to! My husband who works his abs all the time said it was a good workout, but took some coordination.

Ballet - All barre work (chair). I took ballet as a kid and I loved this section. Great for legs & arms! The moves are not nearly as complicated as those in the NYC Ballet Workout.

Kickboxing - Least favorite part. Moves hard to follow and not very fun. Stick to Tae Bo.

Yoga - I've never taken Yoga before either, but I would consider this "relaxing". The stretches were wonderful. Great way to end the workout.

On an ongoing basis, I will probably do Boot Camp twice, Ballet twice, Pilates once and finish with Yoga to get a full hour workout. I was disappointed with the kickboxing section, but in general, The 10 Minute Solution delivers a solid workout with variety! It's also a great way to sample some of the different workout types out there. I'm excited to check out more yoga workouts and more mix-n-match DVD's.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Workout!, July 22, 2002

This review is from: 10 Minute Solution - Workouts to Shape Up Your Whole Body (DVD)

This a great workout video. I tend to become very bored when it comes to working out. This video keeps me interested and actively involved. Each workout is 10 minutes long. There are 5 workouts- aerobics, pilates, ballet, kickboxing, and yoga. You can even program a workout to tailor your needs. I tend to do 2 sessions of the pilates (it really works the abs), ballet (all you need is a chair to assist you), kickboxing (you feel it in your thighs), and yoga (a nice cool-down). I do recommend this product to anyone who isn't really into walking 40 minutes on a treadmill or going to a gym. I look forward to working out everyday with this dvd!

This review is from: 10 Minute Solution - Workouts to Shape Up Your Whole Body (DVD)

There are some good workouts on this DVD and some that just don't work in ten minutes. The toning sections (pilates, ballet, and yoga) are great, but the cardio sections (boot camp and kick boxing) are just too short. This is a great DVD to try out different styles of exercise, and each section is simple enough for a beginner, but also challenging enough to keep doing. Done together all five of these workouts do make a pretty good complete workout, but it's still short on cardio.

Boot camp - try to cram in a cardio workout, weight training session, ab workout, and stretching into ten minutes, and you end up doing about one rep of each exercise. This session is okay for a warm up to other exercise or as part of a complete workout using the entire DVD

Ballet - this session is fun. It's all bar work using a chair. Most of the harder moves are only done one time. The music used for this session (similar to the music used for the rest of the sessions), is horrible.

Kickboxing - This section is really too short for a cardio workout. It's more like a warm up but it doesn't really have an adequate warm up.

Pilates - This session mostly abdominal exercises. The moves are done pretty quickly and not as smoothly as other pilates tapes that I've seen, but it works.

Yoga - I think the yoga section is great. It's a little bit fast paced for traditional yoga, but it uses some of the most common moves. It's slightly challenging, but definitely not too hard and is a great end to a workout especially at night.
