3.0 out of 5 stars
A little too much, January 8, 2006
This review is from: 08 Min. Core Workouts (Arms, Abs, Thighs, Buns, Stretch) (DVD)
I just got this DVD and I have to say overall I am a little disappointed. Lets face it, if you are doing an 8 minute video you probably want a simple, easy to use video. You like Easy to do excercise without distractions. It seems like they tried to work too much into these videos and it leaves them feling cluttered and confusing.
Especially on the leg excercises, if you are anything but a beginner you need a stabilization ball AND ankle weights! The instructer waists as much as half of her alloted 30 seconds per workout instructing the other two people working with her, it is as if they haven't reviewed or prepared ahead of time. I find it distracting and frustrating. There is also time wasted putting on and removing ankle weights as well as getting and removing the ball. If so much instruction is needed for each excercise it probably shouldn't be in an 8 minute video.
On the up side these videos are very up to date with a modern setting. They are not nearly as cheesy as the old ones. The DVD menu makes it very easy to find and use the workout of your choice. The excercises are new and fresh, I would say they are more difficult in general than the original 8 minute videos.
I have a feeling I will continue to use my old ones more than this new one simply because they are simpler to use and still effective. ( even if they are a little cheesy)

Great workout for busy people!, January 23, 2006
This review is from: 08 Min. Core Workouts (Arms, Abs, Thighs, Buns, Stretch) (DVD)
This workout is formidable for those who don't have a lot of time to work out. It targets all major muscle groups, arms, buns, thighs, abs and it includes a stretching section. Several exercises are performed to target each muscle group, so the workout is never boring. Moreover, the exercises are very simple to follow..One can definitely feel the burn, a sign that the exercises are working.
