Editorial Reviews

From the back cover

I'm Donna Richardson. You can have sleek, toned abs and arms in just 30 days! I've made it achievable by combining calorie-burning aerobics with some of my favorite exercises, especially effective for really targeting your arms and midsection. Together they'll boost metabolism, increase muscle tone and endurance - AND define your arms and abs! I enjoyed creating this new program: the aerobics are fun, and they're so easy to follow, you'll do them again and again. This, by the way, is the key to success. The upper body toning program I've designed includes specific exercises, not only for your arms, but for your shoulders, back, and chest. The concentrated ab work is unique because the exercises are performed in positions that help isolate your abdominals so you can really focus on your midsection. You'll finish with a full body stretch, yoga style. For best results in thirty days, use this tape three to four days a week. For all levels, three to eight pound dumbbells and a chair or other sturdy support are recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Video by great instructor!, January 15, 2000

This review is from: 30 Days to Firmer Abs & Arms [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Donna Richardson is one of the greatest instructors out there. Her videos are motivating and fun! This starts out with 20 minutes of aerobics and then goes on to weights with the arms and the she works the abs. It's a great video for an beginner or intermediate exerciser. It's probably to easy for an advanced.

4.0 out of 5 stars Challenging, fun, a good workout., December 9, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: 30 Days to Firmer Abs & Arms [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This routines are challenging without being confusing. The women accompanying her have "real" bodies. They are fit, energetic and enthusiastic. They look like they are having fun. The warm up is great. It prepares you mentally (you're ready to boogie!) and physically for the workout.

There's a nice balance between aerobics and strengthening exercises. I wish this workout were a little longer because it's engaging enough to push me past my current fitness thresholds.

Donna's wanna-be hip hop style is a little corny but it's all in good fun.

I'm a big fan of Donna Richardson and this video was the first video from her collection that I bought. I actually firmed my arms and abs within 30 days! I use the video every chance I get. Donna Richardson is a great motivator and I would really love to follow in her steps one day.
