This is a nice short, challenging, and effective workout. I liked the variety of exercises and that there was a good blend of cardio and floorwork. I found the thigh toning section using handweights to be particularly challenging. A good intermediate level toner for the lower body. The instructor was very good, although she was a bit off of the beat on the music from time to time.

I was disappointed overall by the workout. The cover itself is misleading as you spend very little time on the mat. Having bad knees, I was looking for more of a mat workout than squats and lunges. Just a warning for those out there with bad knees like myself!

I really like this dvd. I actually like all the Prevention series that I've seen so far. In this workout they use proven exercises for maximum effectiveness. Chris Freytag is the instructor again and she cues well and is very down to earth making the whole programme enjoyable and not overly intimidating if you are new to working out. She will definately keep you motivated. There is your usuall pilates type moves, crunches, squats and lunges to name a few, but these same exercises are around because they are definately effective. Trust me, you will feel good after this. Anyone will get a good workout from this.

Toning Experts Were Right - This Is Excellent

The paper I read (Argus Leader) ran an article where they had fitness experts review DVDs in various categories and whether they were "Worth The Workout". This DVD was highly rated across all categories

-Works everything out,
-it was not boring
- a beginner could do it but experts would not get bored
-the instructor was upbeat and encouraging
- the experts themselves would definitely use the DVD again

Anyway I picked up all four DVDs (there were recommendations in the general category of Cardio, Toning, Pilates and Yoga) and so far am extremely happy with all of the titles they recommended. (In fact I have some of the titles that they stated were very poor titles, and they were right there also.)

So if you are looking for an excellent Toning DVD, look no further, the experts were right on the money in their review.

I really like this video. Some work out videos that I've tried are confusing. This one is very easy to learn the first time doing it. You can do one workout a day, two or all three.

After I finish the 10-minute segment, I can't believe it's already done! I am never thinking "When will this end?" As a result, I am happy to get to the next 10-minute segment; that goes by just as quickly. Pretty soon I've exercised for 30 MINUTES BUT IT FEELS LIKE TEN! It's great. I agree with the other viewer--it's hard to believe, but you will work up a sweat. Now I'm looking to see if they have a DVD for upper body workout.

Who knew you could work up such a sweat in only ten minutes?
The way the workouts are grouped into 10 min segments is very convenient. And each is a challenge for a beginner like me, but the moves are not hard to follow.
I really enjoy them and would recommend it.
I also have the Dance it off DVD and like that one too.

I must say I enjoy this workout, although the intensity could be a little higher. I am just starting to pair up these workouts with my cardio and I am getting results. If you are a beginner, this is a great option for toning. There are three ten minute segments. One focusing on the belly, butt, and thighs.

I love the belly section of this workout. I must say it is a great add-on to a workout that does not cover much in the "ab" area. The one downfall is the music and moves in the butt workout - the moves aren't always with the beat of the music and I often find myself fighting to keep with the instructor. I would definitely recommend this DVD for anyone looking to work their abs.

Instructor on this DVD easy to follow.
Like the fact that each segment is only 10 minutes long.
Great product for the price.
