5.0 out of 5 stars Very intense cardio, but flexible for different levels, September 12, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Reebok Intense Moves [VHS] (VHS Tape)

- This is the most aerobically challenging tape I have. When I do this workout, I pretend I'm speedskater Bonnie Blair (hah! maybe in my next life!)
- The cueing is perfect, and the moves have a lot of variety without being complicated.
- The moves are taken more from sports than from dance (basketball, skiing, speedskating). Some of them are really incredible -- jumping up and turning a complete circle in the air (over and over fast), jumping all the way over your step with your feet together (over and over fast), and "plunges," in which you do a deep lunge with one foot on the step and one foot off, then jump way up and switch feet, 64 times in one minute!
- Gin Miller shows three levels -- hard, harder, hardest -- for each interval, then encourages you to decide for how much of the 60-second interval you want to work your hardest. The little clock that shows on the screen during the 60 seconds is a great idea. How can she jump so high and gets her feet so far up off the ground, while talking and explaining the moves? What a powerful, graceful athlete!
- The workout team is great -- a group of athletes in modest gym attire, not a bunch of thong-wearing Barbie and Ken dolls. They look as if they are having a very good, serious workout. They do smile occasionally, but they don't look as if they have been told to plaster on a fake smile for the whole workout.
- The set is pretty silly -- dark, with funny golden pyramids all around -- and the atmosphere is overly serious to the point of being comical, like the "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" show. But that doesn't matter, you feel as if you have really accomplished something when you get through all ten intervals.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweat, sweat sweat!, October 22, 2000

I like this video because it has great music and beats (lots of bass). the moves are not hard to follow and the video never gets boring (like most videos i own) because the music is so good and the moves ARE "intense." this is a video that will make you feel at least 10 pounds lighter after one session. also, i live in a apartment and the space i have to workout is limited. the video keeps you close to your step, but has many moves to keep you going and stretches every part of the body from head to toe. i love this video!!

5.0 out of 5 stars I hate cardio, but...BUY IT! BUY IT! BUY IT!, October 10, 2001

I loathe cardio work...just hate it. But someone told me interval training is very effective, and this is one of the best tapes there is for it. Wow were they right.

The tape consists of a good warm-up and stretch; then 10 intervals (2 minutes of basic/recovery followed by 1 minute of killer intensity training); then a thorough cool-down and stretch. And she provides a VERY motivating short speech at the end.

Things I Love: Gin's cueing is absolutely flawless. The music is motivating but not "in your face" or irritating. The intervals can be unbelievably tough or just a bit of a challenge, or anywhere in between. "It's your choice" as Gin says. Gin offers 2-3 ways to make the intervals more or less challenging, so virtually anyone can do this tape. Gin is extremely supportive and encouraging. She knows how to get you to give more than you think you've got. I end up "HA-ing" along on some of the intervals--definitely not typical behavior for me. But she just makes it fun! In fact, I love this tape so much I've recommended it to others on my fitness forum and promised to buy it from them if they don't like it. THAT's a solid recommendation!

In short, this is one kick-butt workout in 50 minutes. It's easy to catch onto the steps so you get a great workout the first time through. And it offers enough modications/intensifiers that you'll probaby never outgrow it.

Things I Don't Love: NOTHING!
