Great if you are tight on time :->, October 20, 2006
This review is from: Tamilee Webb: Tight on Time - Hot Spots (DVD)
I have many Tamilee Webb dvds and that's because she's a great trainer. She's very knowledgable and outgoing and motivating. That's what you want in a good instructor and that's what you get here. She makes this fun and not boring in the least.
There are three toning workouts (one on the floor and two standing). You use basic moves and equipment like dumbbells (even for the ab workout). She is a good cuer and that helps you stay focused on your moves rather than trying to figure out what's coming up next. Each segment is toning - there is abs, arms and shoulders and a 'total body rocks' segment. It's not the toughest workout, but like the title suggests, it is good if you are pushed for time but want to do a little something. It has a bonus workout at the end using an X-ertube, but for the main workout, all you need is dumbbells and you're all set to go. I like this and recommend it to busy people wanting to tone up a bit.

Another great DVD from Tamilee!, February 9, 2007
This review is from: Tamilee Webb: Tight on Time - Hot Spots (DVD)
I you like Tamilee's "I Want that Body" DVD, then you'll also really love this one! Tamilee is her usual positive, low-key, yet motivating self, and it's a great toning workout.
The DVD is broken down into three ten-minute segments that work your entire body through the use of three-pound dumbbells. One of the segments focuses on abs, one on the entire body, and one on arms and shoulders. There is also one extra ten-minute bonus workout that works your entire body using a resistance band.
Overall, this is one tough workout! Tamilee has great new moves that are not on her other DVD's, and I certainly feel sore the day after doing this workout. Just also be aware that this is a weight/strengh-training workout and not a cardio workout; although some of the segments did get my heart rate up, the segments are designed more for toning.
An additional bonus of this workout is that it also includes a three-minute warmup section and a three-minute cooldown. The DVD menu includes the option of playing these all the way through with the three main strength sections, so that you don't have to constantly go back to the main menu.
There were only a few negatives to this video, none of which hindered my ability to enjoy it. One negative is that the DVD is shot in a more "modern" (for lack of a better word) way that means that you're not always able to see what Tamilee is doing. At the end of each segment, she also starts stretching, but the camera cuts out before she's done (so that you can't finish the quick stretch) since the whole concept of "tight on time" means that they are trying not to waste any extra time. The only other negative is that I wish the bonus resistance-band section was part of the main workout; in order to do this extra workout, you have to exit the workout, go to the main menu, do the workout, and then go back to the main menu in order to get the cooldown stretch. It's nothing major, but it does take a little more time.
Overall, though, this is great! I love Tamilee, and this video is of her usual high quality, with lots of new, intense moves!

TAMILEE IS THE BEST!, January 28, 2007
This review is from: Tamilee Webb: Tight on Time - Hot Spots (DVD)
Tamilee instructs you through classic moves, mostly using hand weights. These moves are very effective because of the weights and since we're tight on time, targets muscle groups. My favorite new move: from a squat to plie with arm raises. There are no modifications and I feel one should be in the intermediate to advanced level. This is her debut production and it has excellent quality: stage, music, camera angles, and the clock.
