Review

What is it? 51 minutes' worth of working out cardio with an emphasis on light toning and flexibility. The segments can be mixed and matched or stand alone, and are based on Tracey Mallett's book, Sexy in 6. Mallett instructs. Who is it for? Intermediate exercisers, although it's not too difficult for advanced beginners to tackle. You'll need one or two pairs of 3 to 5 pound dumbbells and a mat. What to expect: I spend a lot of time at the computer with my mind buzzing, so it's nice to have a workout that doesn't make me think too much. Tracey Mallett has done all the heavy lifting here, when it comes to creating simple moves that work the most muscles in the least amount of time no heavy choreography and no complex moves (even when they're compound moves). This DVD is programmable, so you can do all seven 6-minute workouts (plus warm-up and cool down), choose from the pre-built selections that last anywhere from 28 to 40 minutes, or create your own workout, tailored to your time schedule. The first three segments are a combination of cardio and light weight moves (these are done at a cardio pace, so choose a lighter weight than normal). The second three are mind-body routines, done with a mat; the first one is Yoga poses, the second is Pilates, and the final one is core work. Wrapping it up is an abdominal segment. The great thing about these segments is that Mallett can amp up the intensity without discouraging you a clock at the bottom of the screen tells you exactly how much time you have left and it's never very much. You moms especially will enjoy this DVD because Mallett talks to you directly (she is a mother herself), and the women exercising along with her are all mothers who had to work to get their bodies back post-pregnancy. And the segments make exercise easy to fit in when you're time-crunched. But even if you have no kids, don't worry Mallett works you out just as hard! --YourExerciseDVDs.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to follow, March 7, 2008

By	TheCafeWriter (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Most times, fitness DVDs with short workouts are focused on one specific body part so that you have string together an hour's worth of segments to get any workout at all. Not so with this one.

The choreography/routines are basic, but the pace is quick. A beginner can follow it easily, but an intermediate may be more comfortable for the duration. The exercises she's chosen are very time-efficient, never boring, and can be done in a limited amount of space. Tracey's accent is very subtle and not at all distracting. (I had that problem with Lisa Kay's Southern drawl, Denise Austin's Texas twang, and Keli Roberts' Aussie accent.) Her cuing is excellent,and her encouragement is motivating rather than perky.

If you have the book, you'll recognize the segment titles. This DVD contains:

Warm-up
Quick Cardio Total Body Blast A
Quick Cardio Total Body Blast B
Quick Cardio Total Body Blast C

Quick Mind-Body Blast A
Quick Mind-Body Blast B
Quick Mind-Body Blast C

Quick Abs Blast
Cool-down

All the segments are 6 minutes, except for the warm-up and cool-down which are 15 each. There are two recommended pre-programmed week-long routines, or you can choose segments individually.

You'll need a pair of 3-5 pound weights and - since the cardio is mixed impact - I'd also recommend a good sports bra for the ladies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic workouts, May 22, 2008

By	G. Gabriela (Switzerland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is my first review I write about a fitness DVD, although I have nearly 50 DVDs at home. I am a perfectionist - I can't say it in other words - and my workouts need to be perfect. Most DVDs are unbalanced (for example too much biceps, no triceps) or the intensity moves from extremly high to boring in the same session.
Well, I'm lucky because I found the perfect workout for me! Tracey's workouts couldn't be better.
First I was very sceptical because of the length. How can I get a good workout in 6 minutes? It is possible! You will sweat, your muscels will burn! Big promise.
I mix an match both DVDs and train 24 minutes a day, 6 days a week. The effects on my body are dramatic. I am so happy, that I found a way to get fit, although I am a busy mother of a three years old daughter. My abs look better than before my pregnancy and I feel fantasic!
I also love Tracey's book. It's like your best friend is talking to you and tells you every secret about nutrition and training you always wanted to know. Tracey is very likeable, friendly, and honest. ... and I assume she is a perfectionist as well :-) Thank you Tracey!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Results Makeover... , January 22, 2008

By	S. Hanson "student for life" (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Tracey Mallett's 6 Minute Quick Blast Method-Total Body Calorie Burn My man hooked me up with the best workout dvd. I was amazed at the inches I lost as my body fat melted away just by following Tracey's program. Tracey developed these 'user friendly' programs and all I did was curiously follow her lead and in the short amount of time it takes to complete each workout - I was definately satisfied with my results. Tracey is fantastic at encouraging me to work through the burning muscle squeezes and to keep going!!! ...oooh feel that burn - and I sure did!!! It was refreshing how I could choose each routine to focus on my own personal goals. I would highly recommend this dvd to anyone who wants to change their own body image and feel physically stronger and look leaner. The supplimental book 'Sexy in 6' goes into more detail and helped clarify for me the reason why making a physical change with the DVD brings with it that feeling of the mind-body connection coming into balance. Thanks for a great product!!!
