Numerous fads have come and gone since these shows were on ESPN, and their production values certainly show their age. However, if your main concern is losing weight, and gaining cardiovascular fitness, muscle tone and flexibility, surely you can overlook a mullet and shiny leotard or two. If you've only got 22 mins., do one segment, or if you are feeling a bit guilty over last night's garlic mashed potatoes, go ahead and do all 3 segments. Have hand- and ankle-weights at the ready, especially if you went for the gravy, too.

This is a great beginner dvd. I stopped working out for a few years and chose this one to get my heart pumping again. I can already see results in only a couple weeks. Even my poster is a lot better. :) Hurray for Gilad !!!

This is 3 different workouts on the beaches of Waikiki. The workouts get you moving without being too complicated, I feel great after doing these workouts. Gilad is the best.

If you truely want to lose weight and tone your entire body "you" can work with any of Gilad's DVD'S. Years ago I went from a size 15 to a size 8 ( and was not even expecting to get that small) in 3 months time working out 1 hour a day in my own home!!! I have had a knee injury and could not walk for 3 years..have gained alot of weight but the first person I thought of to help me lose weight is Gilad..I have 3 of his DVD'S from his classic collection (if they helped me lose weight the first time, they will again). Already I have gone down 1 size and have only been excerising for about 2 weeks. As one person wrote in their review "if you can overlook the outdated excerise outfits" you can lose the weight!! And I want all the people out there who say they are physical unable to go by his dvd's I have cerebral palsy on my right side..some movements I cannot do but I always come back and walk in place as Gilad will tell you to do if you cannot keep up with him. Check out success stories on Gilad.tv.

Update: this is July 28th and I have now gone down another size since I first wrote this review...wow

I bought this video because I had been exercising to the TV show Gilad's Cuts and Curves using my DVR and recording them. I don't have my DVR anymore so bought a couple of these videos. I wish I would have got one of the Cuts and Curves video's because they add the weights that I feel work you out better. Overall it is a good beginning workout. I would just like a little more. I do like that each workout is about 20 minutes same as the show.

Not a really hard workout but a good one. Will get your heartrate up and it's only 23 minutes so there is no excuse not to do it. And it's fun. He's very charming.

I have many gilad videos and this one is my least favorite because the work outs are very short. three episodes of 20 mins each. you have to go through all of them to get a reasonable workout. each segment is only 5 mins

Let me start by saying, file me under slightly out of shape. however, that being said, in younger more fit years i really liked doing step aerobics. so, to add some variety to my current efforts of getting back into shape, i tried step aerobics again. within 10 minutes of doing this workout i found myself looking at the clock wondering how i was going to make it the full 40 minutes! i also found myself wondering what ever happened to the me who was able to do far more difficult step routines with such ease! anyway, it's a challenging workout for those who are new to step or those who are like me and are just getting back into shape. i was dripping sweat w/in 15 minutes! for more physically fit and athletic types, this may not be so challenging. aside from the workout, you have the whole feel of the video. it's sort of out dated and, well, Gilad is Gilad but i love Gilad so that doesn't bother me. i would recommend this DVD. it accomplishes what it sets out to do!
