5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing for Busy Career Individuals!, May 1, 2009

This review is from: Shape: Ultimate Bikini Body Workout (DVD)

I have never written a review for any workout DVD, but strongly felt that this one is worth taking the time and writing about. I am a lawyer and a wife and barely have time to do anything, let alone workout. I have tried over a dozen of workout DVD's that swear that in a short amount of time, you will get an amazing workout. None of them have backed up the talk that they so promised. This DVD has allowed me to find 30 minutes out of my schedule to get in a workout that ACTUALLY DELIVERS ON ITS PROMISES! After I'm done with the 30 minute workout, I feel so great, that I actually do the additional 10 minute abs section. This DVD allows you to do a workout that is quick and VERY effective. After doing the workout, I have not felt so sore in a very long time. All the additions and mini workouts that come after the main program are great as well. When I'm really strapped for time, I take one or two of the 10 minute workouts and feel amazing. If you are a busy person, but is really looking for a workout that will not bore you to death or will make you dread doing it, then I highly recommend this DVD. You will not be disappointed!

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid workout, April 21, 2009

This review is from: Shape: Ultimate Bikini Body Workout (DVD)

The Ultimate Bikini Body Workout DVD has 3 sections:

+ 30 minute total body workout (ended up being about 38 minutes)
+ 10-minute conditioning & strengthening segments (abs/core and butt/legs)
+ 10-minute cario blast

Dominique Hall is the lead in these workouts. The 30 minute workout alternates intense sculpting moves with cardio conditioning. She does a great job keeping the heart rate up and the muscles burning! There's a pushup move she does while holding a weight...quite impressive. I enjoyed some new twists on standard exercises. There are a good bit of squat moves and lounges....I don't recommend this if you have bad knees.

There were a few times her attempts at motivating to "hang in there" just weren't necessary, instead, I think a countdown or mentioning # of reps left would be more effective. Other than that, I think this is a good, solid workout.

The 10 minute cardio blast I loved...Dominique had a great variation of moves. This will get your heart pumping! I enjoyed her instruction in this =)

I gave this DVD four stars because it didn't meet the intensity level of the previous Shape Bikini Body workout. The previous Shape BBW also hit more muscle groups than this Ultimate BBW.

4.0 out of 5 stars ...."That's it!"..., September 20, 2011

I felt sore and exhausted after I did this. It's not as intense as Jillian Michaels. Instructor Dominique Hall is not annoying and a great motivator. Her 6 pack abs are exactly how I'd like mine to be! This workout is perfect for beginners. Even though I'm not a beginner, I saw results after using this just a few days. The instructor gets right to the point and not a lot of chit-chat, except to explain the workout.
