This review is from: Ultimate Body - Beginning Workouts for Weight Loss (DVD)

I think if I did this everyday, I WOULD have the ultimate body!

So here's how the DVD breaks down... You have two choices for your cardio. There's Boot Camp (jumping jacks, hops, squats, jogging) and Kickboxing (punches, kicks, etc). For each type of cardio, you can pick from two 20 min workouts and one 30 min workout. Each also has an additional 8 - 9 min ab workout.

For strength training, you can choose from upper body (7 min), lower body (9 min), or abs (8 min). There also is a 25 min ultimate ab workout that combines the strength, kickboxing, and boot camp ab workouts into one.

It's nice to be able to have a little variety in your workouts and also adjust your workout length. The instructor is very good at cueing and reminding you about proper form. The only complaint I would have is that her voice occasionally gets kinda high-pitched and shrill. But usually she keeps it down. The music is just a generic dance beat sort of thing that is in the background.

I really love this DVD! The cardio gets you sweating and goes fast. The strength training is thorough and quick. When you are done you FEEL like you have worked out!

I can't wait to whip my body into shape so I can move on to the Ultimate Body Challenging Workouts!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Everybody and Better for At Home Users, October 28, 2004

This review is from: Ultimate Body - Beginning Workouts for Weight Loss (DVD)

Im a certified fitness instructor and personal trainer. I train clients at the gym or at home and I am always looking for fitness products that I can recommend that my clients use at home.

This DVD is great for many reasons, most notably the amount of variety. Often times the excuse I hear is I just dont have enough time, which is utter nonesense. While every trainer preaches about making fitness a part of your lifestlye, yours truly included, its important to have variety, especially on days when your super busy or your body needs a lighter or recovery workouts from pervious days. This DVD has that and more. The weight training and cardio sessions are immacultely done and the ab exercises will have your stomach burning.

Id say this is a well addition to any home library and supplements just about any workout. Highly recommend along with Ultimate Body Challenging Workouts for Weight Loss.!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful DVD, August 29, 2005

This review is from: Ultimate Body - Beginning Workouts for Weight Loss (DVD)

I purchased this DVD to try some different type of exercise (I use another title from this company which I love, so I picked this one up)

I had not done kickboxing/aerobic style before, and to me this DVD is perfect. There is a wide selection of types of routines - cardio kickboxing, cardio bootcamp & cardio strength training (all of which have various versions of Ab workouts if you want to do theem) with a selection of times and variety.

Meghan is encouraging without being overly so (once in ahwile during a routine she will have encouraging words, but it is not a constant barrage - her voice also rises once in awhile during routines, but not too much and it is to be expected when a person is working out and providing instruction)

So if you are looking for one DVD that has a good variety of workouts, this is one should consider. I will probably pick up the more Challenging one at some point, and my only caveat is if you are expereinced with these types of exercises, the Challenging one may be better, though I have not seen it yet.
