Great Cardio Workout, March 2, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Tighter Assets with Tamilee: Cardio Blast [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I just started a workout routine by going to aerobics class. I bought this tape to rotate into my routine on days when I didn't have class. I love it! This tape really gets my heart rate up and by the end I get pretty winded. I am in my early twenties, but wasn't in the best of shape before I started, so this video was a challenge physically, but the routines were easy to pick up.
Good:
Fairly easy moves that really get your heart rate up
Cueing is excellent. Tamilee Webb cues according to your left and right so that you are mirroring each other. This lets you follow easily without tripping all over yourself. She is also good at letting you know what move comes next so that you keep moving. She cues before the move, not on it. She is not exactly a perky instructor, but she will keep you motivated.
This is high impact, so that is something to keep in mind for joint problems or if you are really out of shape.
Weak points:
There is no toning to this video, so I do my own routine to my own music after the video is over. This would also be a good place to add a toning video.
There is not a lot of stretching or flexibility training to this video. So after the toning part of my routine I do my own stretching routine. This would also be a good place to add a stretching video if you have one.
Overall this is a great video that will make you work hard. I like Tamilee's style of teaching and how she puts each routine together. Also she is encouraging without being annoying. I am creating a rotation of videos and this one is sure to stay in it for a long time.

Intense workout in only 30 minutes, July 31, 2003
This review is from: Tighter Assets with Tamilee: Cardio Blast [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Originally, I purchased this thinking I could use it as a "lighter" day workout, but I was very wrong in my assumption. Tamilee Webb has a reputation among veteran fitness tape workout fans as being tough, but even this one through me for a loop. Within the first twelve minutes of the workout, I checked my heart monitor and was suprised to find I was working so hard! You will definitely get a hard workout in a short period of time. There's a quick warm-up, followed by four short segments, then a cool-down/stretch segment. The moves are not difficult at all, but are intense. If you're looking for a tape to use on a day that you need a quick workout, I would highly recommend this tape to add to your collection.
