Let's face it: in a 15 minutes workout, you'll never look like the guy on the cover!
But if you're kind of out of shape and want to improve the way you look and the way you feel, this DVD will help you.
Do it every other day, alternating between "a better burn" and "jump on it", and I am almost positive that you'll see results within a few weeks. Not only results in the way you look (which is always nice) but mostly in your fitness level and the way you feel.
The audio/video quality of this DVD is very good and the instructor too.
As I said, do it 3-4 times a week, watch your diet if you need to, and by 6-8 weeks you should see improvements in your fitness level and the way your body looks.

Intense and quick workout. You will need dumbbells and either a bench or stability ball to properly complete the routines.

So far I've used the video a few times and I have to admit it is a great way for me to squeeze in a workout at home! I would recommend getting it if you have very little time and just need to do something when you have the chance!

I saw this DVD on the internet and decided to give this a try.
To my surprise, these workouts can also be very beneficial to women as well! The "Better Burn" section totally put me on a sweat and trust me, with in a few weeks of doing it, you'd see very nice results. My endurance and overall muscle group totally improved.

I am 52 years old and am about 10 pounds from my weight loss goal. As a result of a healthy diet and walking 2 miles a day I have gone from 221 pounds to 190 pounds in 6 months and am looking to lose 10 more pounds and burn off the rest of the belly fat and trim the abs. At 52 years old, I realize that I will never look like the guy on the DVD case, but the "Build Inner Strength" workout section of this DVD is a perfect workout for me to help burn the belly fat and trim the abs. All a person needs to do the "Build Inner Strength" workout is a floor to lay on....no weights or other exercise equipment is needed.

This is a great video. It includes 4 complete and different routines to follow and each are only 15 minutes long. The workouts are easy to follow and intensity can be increased by increasing the weights that you use. Knowing that it is only 15 minutes long makes it easier for me to stick to doing this on a regular basis. Who can't work in 15 minutes a day? (well, actually every other day is what you are supposed to do) The only complaint I might have is that the disclaimer at the beginning, which you cannot skip, is too long and I don't like having to wait for it to finish so I just turn it on and go to something else for a few minutes first.

Based on the 15-minutes workout series in "Men's Health" magazine, Men's Health 15-Minute Workout is a DVD of four 15-minute sessions especially for males. "Build Inner Strength" is an abdominal circuit for the entire midsection; "A Better Burn" is a total-body routine that applies "offset training" to build muscle; "Jump On It" combines weights and jumping rope to burn fat; and "Ground Force" is a lower-body routine for conditioning one's bottom half. Designed for use individually or all at once, Men's Health 15-Minute Workout is an excellent addition to men's workout and fitness collections, ideal for keeping one's body sculpted and toned even when one is pressed by the demands of a busy schedule. 60 minutes, color.

good straight forward workouts. not too much silly stuff. workouts could be done at office with minimal embarrasment.

This DVD is broken down into four different workouts. Each workout is about 15 minutes long, and you're meant to do the exercises while the video is playing although conceivably you could watch it and then take the routines to the gym too. I have a home gym so this DVD was ideal for me.

The workouts were challenging and interesting, and some of the moves I had never done before. I used lighter weights than I might normally would just to make sure that I had the routines down. The moves require a lot of concentration, endurance and perseverance. I was surprised at how taxing they were. I realized it more when I met a friend to play tennis and had trouble moving around the court because my legs were exhausted. The leg workout is by far the best on the DVD.

My only drawback was that each workout is only two circuits or two sets so if you want to do the exercises longer, you have to restart the DVD. But that's not a huge problem. The filming of the DVD was pretty straight forward and down to earth. No narcissistic men or women looking at themselves in the mirror and no weird stuff -- just straight up working out and how to do it right.

I was doing another 15 minute exercise tape 6 months and it helped me to get in shape to do this one. This workout gives me a cardio workout, which I hate to do any kind of cardio, but this is only 15 minutes and I can do it. I don't use weights to do it just my fists. I learned a tightening technique from the other workout program so I don't need to use the weights to exercise my muscles. I just squeeze my fists while working out to tighten my muscles. I like that you workout ever other day. My least favorite, but I know most effective day is the Jump Rope day. I don't use a rope, but I jump. So you know, I weigh 270 pounds and have weak ankles. If I can jump anyone can. I just jump slower than others. I like that my heart races when doing these workouts. When I started I couldn't even sit up on the ab day. I would lift my shoulders off the ground and hold for the count of the sit up. Now, I can sit all the way up with my stomach muscles. This makes me feel real proud.
