My wife and I both have recently started working out and this DVD is perfect for it. I knew some things about weights, but she knew nothing. Well, she does now! :) These two instructors, Phil and Julie, are perfect to get things going. They are so friendly in their approach it makes you want to learn. You won't go wrong with this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Effective - I like it, February 16, 2010

This review is from: Absolute Beginners Fitness: Weight Training - Strength & Tone for Beginners (DVD)

Beginning my strength training program I was looking for something basic, for beginnergs. A workout that was not too easy, well taught and effective. Although this is not the greatest produced video, it does the job. I felt muscle I hadn't felt after doing other workout - don't know how I made it this far without those muscles... They give a great introduction on how to use this video, a tutorial on how to execute the movements and motivation to keep you going. This video has theree methods on it - beginner, intermediate and advanced to keep you going a whole year + long. Great!

I give it four stars because of the productions lack of - well, production quality. The instructors are a bit messy when it comes to those resting/stretch periods, as if they had no plan of execution before the camera(s) ran. They are out of sync and have no clear cut movement for you to utilize. So... pick one or two and go from there.

Also, they chose to use the cut and paste method on methods two and three - simply put, they cut exercises from method 1 and pasted them in several spots throughout the latter two methods, giving you the same comments over and over, instead of filming these exercises again with fresh motivation. These instructors look competent enough to go throught the movements again, safely. Great exercise routine, cheap production.

The above problems aside, these are effective routines. Especially for beginners who need to build up that muscle. You will feel the burn, but a good one. If it hurts use lighter weights, rest and repeat.

Good Luck.

No bad at all...I workout often but not enough with weights so figured I'd get something to give me a refresher. Nice price and well done and a lot of nice tips. Good for beginner or advanced who needs an update. I can see beginners liking this very much, not intimidating at all.
