I REALLY LOVE THIS VIDEO. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING TO GET INTO TO SHAPE FOR A WHILE NOW AND THERE IS NO BETTER WAY TO DO THAT THAN WITH CHYNA THE NINTH WONDER OF THE WORLD. BESIDES THE FACT THAT I AM A HUGE FAN OF HERS, THIS VIDEO REALLY IS GREAT. SHE HAS A GREAT BODY AND I AM ALREADY WORKING MY WAY TOWARDS LOOKING LIKE HER (YEAH RIGHT)

Even if you're not a WWF fan I think you'll enjoy this video. It's set at a really easy pace and since Chyna "trains to failure" you don't have to try and push yourself beyond your limit. You get a warm up, some stretching, strength training (with and without weights), cardio and even time to rest a little between "rounds". Chyna encourages you throughout the video, and even though you know what she's says word-for-word after a few plays it still helps. I started noticing results after 3 weeks and I only do it twice a week. I do agree that there's just too much you have to fast forward through in the beginning, but you can always just rewind it to the start of the workout instead of the beginning of the tape. Too bad there's no DVD that would make it really easy. Anyway to sum up, yes I would recommend this video to anyone looking for a good workout video.

It is true that there is a lot of footage, at the beginning that should have been placed at the end. However, I love the workout! I just keep the tape rewound to the point at which it starts. I'm not a WWF fan, but when I heard that this strength training workout was upper body focused, and raises your heartrate, I was interested right away. Most fitness tapes only concentrate on the lower body. This video does has exercises for the lower, but they are mostly in the cardio segments.

There are 6 one minute cardio segments, after some upper body weight work (with the exception of dead lifts & back extensor work) then there is always a minute of recovery/stretch afterwards. I really appreciate the time to stretch after each round. Also, this workout is a great one to use your heaviest weight. Plenty of time to get into position, and there are no fast movements, so you aren't swinging your weights around. Everything is slow & controlled. A new move to me, was the shoulder work, the way you fan your way from frontal raises to lateral raises & then back. I really felt a burn, like I haven't before in my shoulders. Actually, everything burned! This video really got my heart pumping, too! I recommend it!

Well this video will bring back those memories. Chyna avoids the latest and greatest exercise craze and instead relies on some old standbies to build strenght. Yes the infamous squat thrust makes its evil return as do the very basic push up. I like the common sense approach that Chyna takes although some of the routines are difficult for those who might have knee problems as they rely a lot on deep knee bends. Even if you do not choose to work out with Chyna, this tape does provide some good suggestions for exercises that anyone may wish to integrate into their programs and some limited instruction in how to do them safely. Not recommended for those who use to hate gym classes that met at eight in the morining in the rain for some good old fashion grunting and sweating.

I thought this was a great work out for someone who has never really exercised. It was easy and kept a great pace. I would recommend this tape to anyone who feels uncomfortable exercising and is just starting out. You can really do this work out anywhere! However, I did not like that I had to fast forward the tape for about 5 minutes to get to the actual work out.

I HAVE NEVER DONE A BETTER WORK OUT IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!!!CHYNA IS THE BEST PERSON IN THE WORLD TO WORKOUT WITH!!! SHE NOT ONLY TELLS YOU HOW TO DO EVERYTHING SHE TELLS YOU WAYS TO MAKE IT EASIER OR HARDER.CHYNA IS GREAT PERSON TO LOOK UP TO SO LIKE SOMEONE ELSE SAID PUT DOWN THE TAE BO AND BUY THE CHYNA FITNESS!!!

This workout is awesome! I love it. Its fun and its actually not too hard. Chyna is awesome, she explains every exercise to you, what its called, what it does, and tells you how to do it properly so you get the maximum benefit and don't hurt yourself. This video is great, I recommend it to everyone. Chyna is an incredible woman.

Ah,Joanie Laurer in her prime.Her hard,chiseled,muscular prime.Before VH1 and those exploitative and embarassing shows like Surreal Life and its follow up Fame Games and Celebrity Rehab came along THIS is what Chyna was.THIS is what Joanie Laurer represented.The REAL Glamazon!This glamorous amazon showed that a woman can have strength and beauty and be both muscular and feminine without the "manly" and/or "masculine" label which she certainly was not.Sexy enough to make gay men go straight and straight women go gay it's a great arm workout.It's also a challenging fitness workout.Although,I didn't get it for that purpose.I get enough exercise and I have my own programs.But this is challenging when you try to do it and keep up with Chyna in real time without pausing the tape.6 rounds.3 sets of weights;light,medium and heavy.Poundages may vary according to what you can handle.There is no set weight.Strength and toning exercises.No reps,just time,for instance 45 seconds;time varies.A minute of cardio and a minute of stretching and recovery.There's 2-3 exercises per round before the cardio and s&r.Sounds easy?In case you've been skimming through this review the rest happens at the end of the round.Not between exercises.I remember finishing one of the rounds before I heard Joanie say that we were going to do cardio,which in this round were Squat Thrusts[which I thought were Hill Climbers.What do I know?Maybe,I'm wrong].When I saw what she was taking about,in my head,I was like "Ugh!,you bitch!I wanna kill you for making me do this.Putting me through all this."Because at this point I was exhausted from that round's workout.But I made it through and I didn't quit.Sometimes when the physical part of you gives up or wants to give up the mental part of you takes over and it sometimes gets you through and helps you push through any lag you might find yourself in.I usually workout alone but it was fun working out along with the video because I felt like I was working out with Chyna.So in closing this fitness video isn't just for the advanced and the initiated.It's for any and all interested.Regardless of fitness level.If you fail the first time or first few times,that's OK.Don't get discouraged.Keep at it and you'll get better.And remember,it's not solely about having big bi's or other vain concepts but improving your health.Which in the days of high obesity rates in America should be more than enough because it's a challenge to improve your health.And the Chyna Challenge in Chyna Fitness is challenging indeed.If you're still reading this 400+ word review thanks for reading!

This workout video truly works. I did this workout 6 days a week with one day off for rest and I saw results immediately. Chyna makes it so easy and fun. Granted I am a big fan of hers, she inspires continually throughout the whole video with her encouraging words. I started it in September when it came out. I was at 167 pounds/size 13 pants and by December went down to 140 pounds/size 9 pants. Plus I gained muscle which was cool! I looked and felt awesome and in shape!

Chyna fitness is without a doubt one of the best exercise videos I have ever seen. After doing the exercise only 2 times, I can see and feel the results. The video is very easy to follow, as Chyna (Joanie) helps guide you throughout the entire routine. The only thing you need are 3 sets of weights (dumbells) heavy, medium, and light, a bench or chair, and a jump rope. I didn't have 3 sets of weights, I only had one, so I used that set throughout the entire video. I didn't have a jump rope either, but it says on the video that it's okay to pretend. It serves the same purpose. I would recommend this video to any person looking to better themselves and their body, especially beginners. 5 stars for this one!
