Summary: ANYONE can fit this into their schedule!!
Review: There are 3 different ab workouts, 3 butt workouts, and the last 3 are leg/arm workouts. You can program a well-rounded, varied strength workout or do intensive spot-training. I only gave four stars because I realy wish they had a 10 minute cardio segment to fit some real fat-burning in! I use these most if I don't feel like working out on the weekend - after 10 minutes of moving my body's usually ready for my jog or whatever. Also if I get back from the gym and feel I could have worked out a little more, I'll do a segment or two. Even if you just do one segment a day (anyone can find 10 minutes. ANYONE!)you'll see improvement soon. For some reason, I really like Minna. She's a terrific instructor, very down to earth and motivating. The other 2 are strangely not annoying, either. Any exercise will work as long as you stick with it! Commit to improving yourself, and use this DVD to help get you there!

Review: This DVD provides a balanced workout covering all problem areas. The dialogue is a little too cute but the exercises are easy to follow. The best part, it's a mix and match DVD enabling you to execute 10-30 minutes worth of body toning in any or all three areas.

Summary: TOO CHEESY
Review: Mina Lessig is an nnoying Denise Austin type. She tries soooooo hard at being cute or sexy that she BUGS ME immensly. Nancy Popp is good, but the workouts don't do it for me, they are repetitive and cumbersome. i'd recommend anything else.

Summary: Great for Variety.
Review: I HATE to exercise, and I think one of the biggest psychological downers of fitness videos is watching the clock, counting the minutes until I am through with a workout. This DVD is great because it divides 9 workouts into 10 minute segments and has a count DOWN timer! Seems simple, but I find that I complete more workouts and exercise for longer periods of time. I also like that they target multiple muslce groups simultaneously, making the workout more time efficient. Finally, I like that I can design a workout according to how much time I have by choosing the custom workout mode. I recommend this to anyone who needs variety and has little time to fit in exercise.

Summary: Don't waste your money!
Review: This video has three 10 minute segements. Each has a warm up period and cool down- so it doesn't leave that much time for actual exercise. The exercises weren't challenging enough to feel like I was getting much of a workout.

Summary: Good choice
Review: I used this DVD for the first time yesterday and I would definitely recommend it. I like the variety -- there are 9 10-minute segments to choose from, so you can change your workout according to what area you want to focus on or how much time you have. I did 4 of the segments yesterday and I am definitely sore today. The arms & legs workout was the most challenging, my only problem with it was that it wasn't the kindest on my knees, but then again, most exercises aren't.

It's the sort of exercise DVD that I can see myself using on a regular basis...and isn't that the most important thing?

Summary: One of my favorite and most used workout videos!
Review: I love that you can mix this up so you don't get bored. There are 3 10 minute segments of buns, 3 of abs, 1 of legs, 1 arm/leg combo, and one of only arms. I wish there were more than one option for the arms, but I can't complain because this is a great deal to get 9 segments on one DVD. It gives you the flexibility of squeezing in 10 minutes on a busy day, matching a segment with a cardio workout, or just doing a whole workout of toning. A few of the exercises are pretty easy and you have to focus on squeezing the muscle to get a burn, but some of them are also very challenging and the arm/legs combo especially gets the heart rate up. I have 8 workout videos and this is the best one.

Summary: Great Results
Review: I've had this DVD for 3 years now and still love it. I didn't do it for about 8 months and started to feel rather flabby around the butt and arms. So I pulled it out and started doing the exercises again. After only 1 week I noticed a difference. I do 1 x 10 minute arm, ab and buns session 4 mornings a week. This takes 30 minutes and the results are fantastic. I run regularly so get plenty of cardio excercise, I just wasn't as toned as I wanted to be in the butt and abs areas and of course running does nothing for the arms. This DVD combined with regular cardio work is the perfect combination.

Summary: Great results!
Review: Of all of my workout DVDs, I've gotten the fastest results from this one. It really works! I usually combine this with another workout such as walking, biking or yoga. This is the reason I give it 4 out of 5. The workout isn't "complete". You still really need to add on some cardio, back and calf exercises to make it complete. I had a baby a year ago and this had been the best for helping dropping that "baby weight". My other workouts didn't do it as well as this one. I really like the instructors. They are enthusiastic and make you want to keep going. They aren't obnoxious like some other instructors. I also love the variety in these workouts. You get three choices per target area. You can combine these in so many different ways, you can never get bored! You can do as much or as little as you choose. The abs workout is exceptional. Julie works those abs in so many different ways. You'll never get sick of it--there are no endless crunches here! I highly recommend this!

Summary: Quick, fun and flexible!
Review: I'd been doing the same at-home workout routine for a year and got sick of it. I wanted something new, fresh and flexible. This is definitely a flexible workout! The DVD has 3 ab workouts, 3 buns workouts and 3 arm/leg workouts. You can mix and match, do as much as you want, and the best part is they are all only 10 minutes each. EVERYBODY has 10 minutes somewhere in the day! Even doing 3 workouts in a row didn't seem like 30 minutes--it went by so fast! But if I need to spread them out I can. I like the style and presentation of the women, too. They're not overly perky or annoying, at least not to me.

I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 for two reasons:

1. They really need to stretch more before the workouts. Even if they did a 2-minute stretch before each workout, and THEN started the clock counting down 10 minutes, that would be great. Stretching is so critical, especially when you're working with weights. So I end up doing a lot of my own stretching before and after.

2. There are really only 2 arm workouts instead of 3, because the second arm/leg workout is just legs. They should have had 3 arm workouts, then added a legs segment with 3 workouts for just legs. It would have given the user that much more flexibility and choice.

I'm not slamming it though, it's a very good workout and I definitely feel it when I'm done. You don't have to do the same exact thing everyday so it keeps boredom away (hey, that rhymed!) There is no cardio though, so if you're looking for a good sweat, this isn't the DVD you should buy. If you want quick workouts with variety and targeting specific areas, this is a good one!
