This is a tremendous exercise video for beginners to advanced. Gilad challenges and encourages throughout the session motivating you to literally become part of the team right down to the counting. He shows you proper form during all aspects of the various exercises reminding you to stay positioned correctly. This exercise video targets those areas we seem to neglect the most, but want to look the best. The warm-up and cool-down are fantastic and essential in proper training. If your serious about exercise and toning your body, this video is a must for every library.

Gilad's excersise tapes are the BEST and easiest to follow along with. Actually this tape, Hips, Abs and Arms Toning is the second one I've bought-------I used the first one so much I wore it out! Even after excersising to this tape 3-4 times per week for the past 2 years I still get an excellent workout. I am now using weights (3 to 5#) with the arm and leg excercises and can definitely tell a difference in how my clothes fit. Gilad's step aerobic tape is also excellent. mete

I work out to this video at least 4 times a week and within the first week of working out I felt and looked stonger and more toned. I am recommendiing this video to my Mom and sisters, so you know its great! Thanks Gilad for getting me back in shape again!

This video is great even if you haven't exercised for years-not difficult to keep up with the warmup, some floor exercises are tough but after 3 weeks, I can do most of it. Gilad seems to read your mind as you exercise and encourages you to continue. I am using this video exclusively and am not tiring of the routine-I think it is the perfect work-out for those of us who think we are too far gone!

I first found Gilad on "Bodies in Motion" on ESPN YEEEEAAARS ago when I lived in Miami. I worked out with him every AM. Then when I had my two sons, I bought this tape (10 years ago!), and did it religiously every day for the first week then 5X a week thereafter, It is the only tape you will ever need, it was the best $ ... I have ever spent, and it is STILL the best $ ... you will ever spend! I am buying a new one for myself and one each for two of my friends, we have a week long cruise to the Caribbean coming up in 7 weeks, and I know this is just what they need to eliminate the 'flab worries'. We are all avid power walkers, but this tape really targets those problem areas and leaves you feeling amazingly stronger the first week!
"How can it hurt, if I'm right here with you??????"<~~~ ;)

This video works your whole body in a short amount of time, really targeting "problem" areas. Gilad has a great personality and comes across as a real person, encouraging you when you really get fatigued. He makes sure you are doing the exercises correctly, and anyone at any fitness level could enjoy and benefit from this video.

This is my favorite toning tape. It starts off with the warm-up, not too intense and easy to follow with several reps. Then the toning begins. Wow, I really felt the burn! While doing the hip exercises, I really felt it in my legs. As it gets tougher, Gilad says "You've gotta really want this". ... and you really do because it gets tough; not so tough that you can't complete them but I found myself gritting my teeth during the final reps. The arms exercises are the best I have found on any tape, as in the hips exercises, he works you until your arms burn... again the same for the abs. I had abdominal surgery 18 months ago and my stomach still hurt me whenever I sneezed or coughed heavily; these exercises, after continual use, helped me get back to normal. I can't say enough about this tape, Gilad is a great instructor, and I think he is cute. For the reviewer that said not intense enough for her/him, all I can say is that he/she must be in extremely excellent shape to not feel the results.

I have been a follower of Gilad since his daily exercise program aired on TV. Gilad really hits key areas of the body and works them hard, but is really encouraging and makes the workout fun. I have done the exercises for some time now and have seen a definite improvement physically and mentally.

I have used this video for the last year and have not been able to find a video that I like better! Gilad knows exactly what works and what doesn't, and he'll make sure you do too! Great workout! Great results!

Found this to be more of an overall toning video vs. hips,abs and arms. I'm a regular runner who was looking for a fairly intense toning regimen. Although easy to follow, I'm not getting the kind of intensity I was hoping for. Better for the beginner exerciser.
