Rating: Summary: One heck of a workout! Review: I consider myself to be in pretty good shape, but 20 minutes into this workout I was sucking wind! The music is boring, David keeps repeating his "mind, body, spirit" mantra--which can get irritating--but overall, this is a great workout that will challenge you and get you results.

Rating: Summary: Best Workout I own Review: I had hit a workout plateau and needed something to give me that extra boost. When I tried the Boot camp workout, I was so relieved that I hadn't wasted my money on another workout video that I wouldn't use. David Kirsch's Ultimate Fitness Boot Camp is by far the best all around workout I own. The music is easy to move to, the setting is fantastic, and the workout is intense. I noticed results within the first week. If you are looking for the workout to push your routine over the top, this is it. But beware, if you are not an experienced exerciser, this workout may be too much.
Rating: Summary: Finally... Review: I have been looking for a good exercise DVD for a while now. I can't do most of them because they tend to be based on a kind of dancercize dancing steps that I can never keep up with (ok, I have no sense of timing!) This however is a great workout with a good balance of muscle and cardio. I love it!
Rating: Summary: Effective, challenging workout with great instructor! Review: I have to admit that I had never heard of David Kirsch before searching for new and challenging fitness DVD's. After reading the reviews on this one, it seemed perfect: a challeging workout that whips your butt into shape! This is no joke! David provides great motivation and inspiration guiding you through this workout. It's a tough one, but well worth it! There are alot of ordinary workouts that become easy after a few times, but this one provides challenges and new moves. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a great, effective total body workout! I am glad I took a chance on this one, and am now a big fan of David Kirsch's exercise and wellness plan.
Rating: Summary: Strength training and aerobic workout in one! Review: I highly recommend David Kirsch's motivational Boot Camp for int/adv exercisers. It's an intense 45 minute workout that focuses on strength training, but also gets your heart rate up enough for an aerobic workout. I wore a HR monitor and was surprised to see that my avg heart rate for the session was up in my aerobic range (which never happens to me with regular strength training videos). What to expect from the workout? isometrics, squats, lunges, jumping jacks, curls, push-ups, crunches ... some combined with 2-5 lb weights. Never a dull moment! There is also a short warm-up & cool down/stretch. Only con: a lot of times, the reps were not done in time with the music. Slightly annoying, but easily overcome.
Rating: Summary: Quick Pace, Needs Better Cueing, Heart Thumper Review: I like David's style in that he is trying to get the viewer to not only work on performing the exercise he wants to get yo to think about visualizing what it is you are trying to achieve. So he is constantly asking the exerciser to do a mind and body connection. I would have given this video 4 stars had his cueing and pacing been consistent. I do a lot of home videos and so have seen good and bad. They perform on the sand on a beach and this may be a factor in how well he paces some of the moves. For instance he does an exercise where you swing your leg out in front of you in an arc and then do a squat. Well he does some of them at one speed then another speed and then yet another speed. It's means you find yourself out of sync with him if you keep a consistent rhythm going. This happens in at least three of the routines. The other point is he miscounts. He will say you have 5 more to go and then end in 3. Not a big thing but it is just one more thing that might annoy some. I liked the actual exercises they are indeed going to make you feel like you have exercised. I usually use between 8 to 15 pound weights with most exercise training videos but not with him. Believe him when he tells you to get light weights. I use 3 pound weights and towards the end they seem impossibly heavy as he does a lot more shoulder work than most videos. High repetitions while also working the lower body will definitely make you feel it.
Rating: Summary: A wonderful total body workout! Review: I love this workout DVD! In 45 minutes, David really works your entire body - and makes you sweat. It's one of my favorite workouts, and I highly recommend it. I would recommend getting his book, "Sound Mind, Sound Body" to compliment this DVD.
Rating: Summary: Very impressed! Review: I purchased this DVD about 2-3 weeks ago and have been using it every day since I bought it. Since the day I started, I have seen dramatic results, especially in my legs and thighs. It has done a wonderful job toning and tightening my body overall and I would recommend it to everyone. :)
