5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to follow and fun, October 2, 2000

This review is from: Gilad's Fat Burning Workout [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I like this workout because it is pretty simple. Don't get me wrong--it's not a beginner's routine--it gets my heart rate up every time. (Although, it can be modified for beginners...Gilad suggests using little or no arm movements, and/or marching in place when tired, etc.). But it is not dancey, not complicated--just straightforward fat-burning. Gilad starts you out with a 7 minute warmup, and then moves into 30 minutes of high and low impact aerobics. Finally, there is a 5 minute cool-down with some stretching. The music is actually pretty good, and doesn't really seem dated. The moves are really easy to follow, there aren't a lot of fast-paced changes (although the workout is fairly fast-paced at times), and he doesn't add on and go "from the top." If you like straightforward stuff, this video is for you. Gilad himself is motivating and he has this great accent. He likes to say things in a regimented voice, as in "and-just-8-more-times" but he says it in such a way that it is charming and makes me laugh out loud almost every time. I really like this video--it is one of my favorites.

This review is from: Gilad's Fat Burning Workout [VHS] (VHS Tape)

As someone who's been working out w/videos for almost 6 years, and uses a heart monitor during every workout, it's seems like it's tough for me to find a floor aerobics video that actually gets my heart rate in the higher end of my target range. At first, it seemed like the marching and the limited space needed would not do my any good, but there are so many variations during the workout, I found my heart rate moving from high to low several times. Overall, the video is a keeper for several reasons: 1) On days where I don't feel like doing anything, I can do a simple workout that will challenge me; 2) It's a much-needed variation to my usual step aerobics - I would consider it an interval challenge since my heart rate range does fluctuate a bit; 3) Gilad is annoying yet funny at the same time, which is a nice change to see a bit more personality in an exercise video 4) There is a flub toward the end and they actually kept it in; at first, I was surprised they wouldn't edit it out, but it actually works in this video, meaning that it keeps things light; a lot of exercise videos out there have that "fake" feel to them 'cause they're trying so hard to make the workout look perfect.

4.0 out of 5 stars No fancy movements just calorie burning fun!, March 21, 2001

Gilad's Fat Burning Workout is fun and easy to follow. The steps are basic, nothing dancy. I love Leslie Sansone and now I found someone else who realizes that you don't have to learn fancy dance steps to burn fat. You can pop this tape right into the VCR and just get to the fat burning. If you like the dance steps don't get this tape. But if you you're like me and just want to get the heart rate up and not waste time with the rewind button, give this a try. And check out Leslie, too! This tape does have a lot of jogging and jumping but it's mixed with lower impact so it's not too difficult. (Interval training)
