Solid, straighforward cardio, March 9, 2005
This review is from: Tighter Assets with Tamilee: Cardio Blast (DVD)
I've had this DVD for about a year, and it has consistently remained one of my favorites. It's a solid, tough workout. At 30 minutes long, it includes chunks of plyometric moves - meaning jumps and hops that I find invigorating but might be tough for those with bad knees. The workout is broken up into a handful of segments. It gradually increases in difficulty, peaks, then lightens back up. Only the last segment seems to drag. (Tamilee says, "We're almost done ..." as though she's winding down, only to begin the set anew instead.) I always break a sweat with this video. Tamilee is one of my favorite instructors (and, as my husband will attest, I'm something of a workout DVD-aholic, so I've tried many!)
This instructor is no-nonsense, but still polite. She even says things like, "Two more, please," which keeps me liking her. Her two sidekicks, meanwhile, have no personality whatsoever. Luckily, they don't detract from the workout; they just don't add to it. In the end, my use of this video has been somewhat sporadic. I'll use it a few times a week for several months, then forget about it for a month or two before dusting it back off. The bottom line, though, is that I always come back to it. It's a solid, straightforward cardio routine.

Great for the Pear Shaped, February 18, 2005
This review is from: Tighter Assets with Tamilee: Cardio Blast (DVD)
Oftentimes after doing a workout I need to spend extra time working on my legs and butt. I am a pear shape, which means my waist is not an issue, but my J.LO butt (however, not toned) makes me look heavier than I really am. This DVD pays A LOT of attention to those problem areas and so I recommend it for the pear in us all!

The best Cardio workout I've ever done!, July 14, 2005
This review is from: Tighter Assets with Tamilee: Cardio Blast (DVD)
This is a fantastic cardio workout! Tamilee knows how to get your heart pumping and your body sweating. I've worked out with several instructors and Tamilee's the best. I consider her my personal trainer. She's not overbearing. She's easy to follow and very knowledgeable. You'll learn the routine after just a couple of times. This workout is 30 minutes long, so I like to follow it with her "I want that Body" video for some nice ab and arm toning. Tamilee works out with only 2 other girls so you don't get distracted watching a lot of different people working out at different paces. The instrumental music is great and not at all annoying. I highly recommend this workout to anyone who's got 30 minutes and willing to burn some fat & calories!!
