5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic and fun ;-> September 24, 2007

By Little Miss Cutey

I often read Womens Health, so when I saw they brought out some exercise dvds, I snapped them up. They are really good and I love this one in particular.
It's a fantastic aerobic/toning workout and Amy Dixon cues really well and makes this fun and is encouraging and motivating. I haven't done or seen a workout of hers, but I'm so impressed with this. If you put in a lot of effort on this, you will get a lot of results. It's tough but great and fun to do. It's easy to follow and do and she tells you often throughout that you can do it and to push yourself a little harder. The cardio moves are athletic style (like kickboxing, jogging and ski moves) and the toning moves are classic kinds. You have easier options to choose from so that makes it fairly do-able for many people.
I really recommend this dvd as it's so well put together with the right type of exercises to get you in tip top shape, and an instructor who's not annoying but motivating and makes this an enjoyable workout.

5.0 out of 5 stars SO much better than your average workout DVD. September 24, 2007

By Lynn Wallace

I finally received my DVD's based on a recommendation by a friend, and I am SO happy that I did. These new Women's Health workouts are so far superior to anything else I have, it's ridiculous. The star Amy Dixon has more energy than anyone I've ever seen. Seriously. It must be a redhead thing. I couldn't recommend them enough.

I would definitely say you should get both of these tapes to mix it up a bit, but for anyone just deciding between the two, here's a word of advice based on my initial testing... The Ten Minute one is definitely for everyone. It's amazing because who can't workout for ten minutes? And there's four different ones. But the Ultimate Fat Burn, while personally is my favorite, is definitely a little harder of a workout. If you're just a beginner, it may be a little difficult for you. But like I said before, I'd get them both. Slow days? Ten Minute Workout. Harder Days? Ultimate Fat Burn.

I hope this helps. They really are amazing tapes. I hope they make more. The look of them is really different than anything I've seen. It's not just in an empty room. It really helps.

Enjoy them, and happy working out!

3.0 out of 5 stars not as good as I expected it to be.. October 10, 2007

By E. Jarecka

Well, on the positive side - the instructor is nice and encouraging, at least some of the moves are new and interesting. But here's what I didn't like:
- it is short - 38 min
- I found the women in the background annoying with their 'enthusiastic' oohs and aahs and yeahs
- it is not challenging, I have no idea how you are supposed to burn 'up to 500 kcal' in one session. I am a 5'7'', 143 lbs woman, I did all the advanced moves except for one round of jumping jacks and burned 185 kcal
I would definitely recommend the 'old' WH DVDs instead - "The Wedding Workout" and "Train for your body type"

5.0 out of 5 stars I have 75 workout dvds...and this is one of the very best! September 30, 2008

By Chandler #1 HALL OF FAMETOP 10 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

It is rare to find a workout that is not only geared to specifically work the biggest problem areas for a woman...but, even more importantly that burns mega calories without feeling ghastly hard to do, and with an instructor who makes every move simple because of amazingly good cueing AND also builds muscle so that you continue burning more calories even during rest...

It matters not if you were picked last in every p.e. class growing up because of your lack of coordination or ability...or if you are an advanced workout afficianado...this one will still be your favorite.

The moves are explained perfectly so you can follow along easily yet the promise of "ultimate fat burn" holds true. I have a Polar F11 heart rate monitor so I'm well aware of exactly how many calories I burn per workout & this one delivers...twice as many calories burned as most of my workouts!

But do I feel crippled later because of it? Absolutely not...I feel energized and wonderful...just as this instructor is througout the entire dvd

Beginner? Follow along to the "real person" on the dvd who is still getting into shape and does simpler moves. You'll still understand all moves perfectly and easily.

More advanced? You'll get a fabulous workout. A rare find to burn this many calories in cardio and still get ultimate strength training in easy-to-follow but excellent steps.

I have a few standards that I love in my collection...the S.W.A.T cardio dvd, dvds by the trainers of the Biggest Loser (because of great cardio, strength training and not having to be a professional dancer to figure out how to do moves correctly) but this one just hit top billing.

I was floored with how many calories this burned when it went by so quickly and smoothly.... A great find for any workout dvd collection. Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Interval Workout- Compares to Top Notch Gym Classes April 2, 2008

By Boston Workout Gal

I recently purchased this DVD. I usually find home workout DVDs to be hard to follow, not challenging enough and/or boring. I thought it provided an excellent workout, quite comparabale to my favorite bootcamp class at my gym.

It alternated between a strength workout (3pd wts needed) and a cardio workout. It also included a warm up and cool down. There is one indiviudal who does the modified routine.

My only issue with the DVD is the advertisement introduction (3 minutes or so) that cannot be fast forwarded through.
