This DVD set is incredible! I don't know how Tony Horton packs such an
intense workout within each 30 minute DVD, but you absolutely get your
money's worth. Everytime I do these exercises, my problem areas totally
reshape, and I'm amazed by my increased stamina and endurance. If you
want to incorporate a short, challenging exercise system into your busy
lifestyle, power half hour is worth considering. It even comes with a
training guide that contains several customized programs focused on the
specific areas of your body you want to target. I would rate it at about
4 and 1/2 stars...I shaded in 5 stars because it wouldn't allow me to
fill in the half for 4 and 1/2, and it's definitely better than 4 stars.

The power half hour sets for sale on amazon seem a little pricy. You can
purchase them directly from beachbody's website for $39.90 plus $4.95 for
shipping and a couple more dollars for sales tax (depending on your
state's sales tax). It won't cost more than $48 or $49. However, the
sellers on amazon are charging at least that amount. Plus, you have to pay
an additional $3.00 for shipping. Just trying to save you a few dollars!

While Tony Horton comes across as a little bit on the corny side, these workouts rock. They do work. I own them and incorporate them in with my Turbo Jam schedule when I want a challenge. You will reshape with this set. Get ready to do lunges, squats and lung-kick combos, because there are plenty of them in here...If you're having trouble with balancing, simply use a chair.The ab workout is EXCELLENT...These programs work, and I'm going to try Power 90 next...

You've got to get past the corny bit, but at least you'll get a good laugh out of it...This trainer knows what he's doing...If I had young kids, I'd get the set for kids, because he strikes me as being an excellent motivator for young people too.

The power half hour series backs up all of the work I put into the power 90 system. Many of the same moves and some new ones are incorporated into each workout...I love the stretches at the end of the four days! The workouts are still under an hour-Tony's motto is "Power and shower in under an hour!" I love these workouts!

Great work-outs! He keeps me motivated and 30 minutes is perfect in my busy schedule! Thanks!

I have done this program after having done P90X. It's a much lighter program and presents a few pros and cons but overall a great buy:
Pros:
- It is 30 mins, exactly not a minute more. Great if you are short on time.
- It incorporates all elements of workout including weight training, cardio and stretch, which for instance is missing from a program like supreme 90 Days.
- Requires limited equipment and can be done on the go.
- A single DVD for the entire program

Con:
- Does not incorporate pull up bars or similar exercise. The upper body portion is fair but could use an extra routine.

Overall good buy.

THIS WAS A SHORT VERSION AND NOT WHAT I THOUGHT IT'D BE - I RETURNED IT.
