Summary: Just what I was looking for!
Review: I hate to sound like an informercial, but I absolutely loved this DVD. I already have tons of aerobics tapes at home (since I rarely have time to go to the gym), and I was worried that I wasn't getting enough weight training/toning in. So I came across TotalMix on Amazon, and figured that the mix 'n match aspect was exactly what I might need. I was right!

I tried it this morning for the first time (10 minutes of abs, then 10 minutes of arms), and it gave a whole new dimension to my workout (I popped one of my 30 minute aerobics tapes in afterwards). So now if I do strictly aerobics, I can then do 10 or 20 minutes of TotalMix abs, arms, butt or whatever, to get my toning in. Or heck, maybe a day of 30 minutes all abs...you get the picture, LOL. If you feel one of the segments is kind of short (like the Arms Blaster, perhaps) and you still have some time--just run the segment again (that's what I love about DVDs).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great for Toning
Review: This is the best toning workout that I have tried. The fact that you can choose which segments to do and how many, make it a very versatile workout. I like to use one of the glutes or legs segments as a warm up before running, and then I do an abs segment afterwards.

The abs segments are difficult enough that I can still feel them even after repeating them for a few weeks. Each segment has completely different exercises that work all of the major abdominal muscle groups. The instructor explains the exercises well enough that I could do them all easily the first time through, but not so extensively that I get bored sitting through the instructions when repeating the workouts. The middle section has some positions that I find awkward, but not too difficult. Cycling through the three workouts keeps me from getting bored.

The glutes and legs segments are great for warming up the legs, and they are good for toning as well. I didn't find them that difficult, but I could still feel the results. One of the glutes segments is done on the floor with a combination of pelvic tilts and dog style leg lifts. The arms segment is too short for weight training, but it's good for beginners, and the arms and legs combo starts to get my heart rate up.

Because each segment is so short, I find it hard to make excuses not to get a quick abs workout in before going to bed. I generally use theses workouts as a supplement to rather than in place of aerobic exercise.

Summary: Amazing!!
Review: Great work out concept .
As a full-time working women I am really short of time .
That's the reason I kept myself away from the gym .
Who wants to spend the money when you cannot commit .
* But this workout gives you that much needed "freedom"
The work outs are organised in neat little chunks of 10 minutes .
You can always spare 10 minutes? right ?:-)
*Also technically , instructors follow warm-up , excersize , stretching cycle .Which is good .
*As everybody says , you really like these instructors .
I used to do excersize myself , but that did not help me much , Because you need somebody to drive you past your limit , push you to do more ..that's what the instructors do .
*And finally it works !!
go ahead and buy it .. you 'll never regret it

Summary: How fast does workout go by!!!
Review: When I ordered this dvd I thought it was a high pace cardio workout because that is what I am used to, aerobics. But, when I received it and stared the dvd, I was dissapointed at first. Well, then I tried it and WOW! Unbelievable! I have been telling all of my friends about this dvd, especially because a friend of ours wedding is coming up. All, I can say is that I have never been so excited about doing a workout like I have with this one, NO JOKE. I am telling you the 10 minutes that each segment has goes by so fast it's unbelievable. I almost feel like I skipped something it's so fast. I urge everyone and anyone no matter what age or weight to try this video out, you won't regret it!

Summary: Love it. . .
Review: I really love this DVD. I am so unmotivated to exercise most days and time flies when using this program. You can choose to do only 10 minutes and on those amazing days when you have time and energy, you can do up to 90 minutes with the option to vary segments. Although sometimes I think the pace is too slow, I realized that the pace makes you concentrate on the muscle group you are working. It is concentrated and effective.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent video when crunched for time
Review: I absolutely love this DVD. There are many days that I can't devote 30-45 minutes on a workout. I am able to pick 1,2 or 3 workouts and tailor it to my needs. All the workouts really give results.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Love this DVD!
Review: Fast, efficient, and easy to change to accomodate my needs. I highly recommend this DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wow I feel it!
Review: I'm impressed! I just bought this video mainly for the lower body part of the workout. I did the three buns segment, the leg and arm segment, and the legs segment...and I could barely finish that last ten minutes! This is my second favorite exercise video/dvd... right after Weights II (Francesca Gern...a fabulous body sculpting video that is hard to find). Make sure you warm yourself up before doing this dvd...there is virtually no warm up or cool down!

Summary: Great, visible results
Review: This is the best DVD, it uses the technology the way it should be used. In fact, this is how all workout DVDs should be made. First of all, I can choose from 9 workouts and program any 3 I want to do. Then the exersizes are great, they fly by. I'm always aching the next day. Usually when I workout, I turn the volume down and put on a CD, but this dvd has such great form instructions and the time seems to go faster when I have thier sound and music on. This dvd is great if you want to tone and strengthen. There's no cardio workout or warm up but you can get the heart rate up on a couple of the leg workouts. Now I wish they would make a cardio workout just like this.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Workout for a Chaotic Life
Review: This DVD was recommended to me by a very picky, fitness instrutor friend of mine. As an incredibly busy mom of two and business owner/operator I needed a workout that would maximize the exercise time that I have and this video does just that. The format is my favorite feature. The entire DVD is broken down into ten minute segments which you can mix and match any way that you choose. This really cuts down on the boredom of doing the same thing day after day. The workouts do a great job at working large muscle groups AND getting your heart rate up. Focus and concentration is the key to using this DVD. It is definetly not one of those "bounce to the music" videos. It is very concentrated work that does its job incredibly well. I just love this DVD!
