Move To Lose with Chris Freytag Review

Move To Lose with Chris Freytag
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a 3 disc programme. The first two discs have 5 ten minute routines on them, each have Upper Body, Lower Body, Cardio, Pilates (abs) and Yoga (stretching). Those two discs have the same order of routines but each routine is different (different abs to the first disc etc). Within those routines, I find it's a little short to be of major benefit. I think that if you do it on a regular basis though, you will feel better and possibly look better, but you should be looking for a minimum cardio workout of 30 minutes.
Chris is a friendly instructor. She has a body to motivate you. She over uses the word 'awesome', but she's motivating and outgoing and offers words of encouragement.
The third disc has tips on healthy eating and lifestyle and that's a great little bonus. Each of the first two discs has a bonus 'conversation with Chris', but that is the same recording on both discs.
Overall, this workout is good (to add to your existing routine). The thing I like most about it is that EVERYONE can find 10 minutes to do even one routine. It's not that hard to do. You will need a stability ball, weights and they use those elastic bands, but I do this with the weights, and they use a step for the cardio. This is worth a go for sure, especially if you are a beginner or if you want to add a little extra to your existing routines or if you are very time crunched.

I have tried 5 out of the 7 so far and they really give me a workout. No confusing dance routines. I tried them for about 10 days and saw dramatic results. Jeanette will certainly challenge you and get you in shape. You should give it a try and you will see what I'm talking about.

South Beach Box: Core And Upper Body Boxing Workout Review

South Beach Box: Core And Upper Body Boxing Workout
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was expecting a little more, however after I did the workout and referred back to the box, I realized I wasn't paying attention when I ordered it. It clearly states this is an upper body, ab workout. If you're just getting started working out you might enjoy this DVD for the simplicity, however if you've been working out a while and have done other kickboxing type DVD's you might be bored with this.
There is nothing technically wrong with the DVD. No audio or set issues.Guillermo is great. Unlike a lot of the other DVD's I have like the Tao Bo and Turbo Jam DVD's he's very pleasant to listen too. He's very calm, and you don't have to listen to someone counting to 8 over and over and over again.
He moves at a nice pace and is consistent and concise, although there were a few times it would have been helpful on the long combinations if he was queueing... it almost seemed like he was trying to concentrate himself. For such a beginner level DVD I felt like he should have went into some detail about form, like keeping your thumbs up. He was very consistent about mentioning to turn your hips for the cross punches. If you've never done anything like this, there is a really good Tae Bo (Billy Blanks - Tae Bo: Foundation / Energy) DVD that explains punching form in great detail which is important so that you don't causing injury to your shoulders.
Back to this DVD. You're basically repeating the same punches and then gradually adding on until you have a fairly lengthy combo. I think a person would quickly get bored with it, however if you do the workout and wear some type of weighted gloves you'll get a good workout for your arms and burn a few calories. He alternates the punching sets with some really basic jumping rope in place type cardio moves. As for the core work there's a small amount of standing abs which are side crunches and twists. I feel like the core section should have been longer and he could have easily incorporated some additional standing moves. The entire workout is 30 minutes.

STOTT PILATES: Express Series 3 DVD Set Review

STOTT PILATES: Express Series 3 DVD Set

I'm an experienced Pilates student and like the Stott style. Recently I got very ill. I lost so much muscle and weight, it's been a tough recovery. I started back to Pilates with these DVD's figuring they would be gentle. The first difference I noticed was feeling less blue. This helped motivate me to do more in life and with Pilates. I'll be graduating to the Fitness Circle workouts soon. These DVD's have been a great beginning.
Clear instruction, each DVD completely different than the other.

Minna Lessig - Total Body Toning - 1 Minute Workout (2006) Review

Minna Lessig - Total Body Toning - 1 Minute Workout (2006)
Average Reviews:

This DVD is really the cure to workout boredom. It's over 120+ one minute exercises vary each time to put in the DVD, so you'll even begin to look forward to seeing which one is chosen each time. You can vary both the length of your workout and the intensity - which various time intervals and a beginning and advanced skill level. You can also choose to focus on a specific area - such as upper body, lower body, and total body. I've read some of the reviewers say they didn't find this one challenging, but I found that I did - especially when I played the DVD for at least 20 minutes or more. I liked the options to workout in less time as well, as sometimes it's just a nice compliment to another workout. This DVD offers so much variety I'd say it would fit nicely into any routine.
