Summary: Excellent
Review: Three twenty minute basic workouts, plus three advanced versions of the original three. Fits nicely into my schedule, and the instructor is energetic without being annoying. The dance aerobic segment can be hard to follow for the uncoordinated (that's me!) and you need weights for the circuit toning, but it's all good, baby. Great for beginners and 50 lbs. + individuals (that's me, too!) and overall an excellent bargain both in cost and time.

Summary: nice format but annoying background exercisers
Review: I like the format of 20 min. so I can fit in a tight schedule also I don't get bord. OI enjoy the 3rd part (cardio dance) the most. the first part (toning) is ok. i only get slightly bored. i think there's too much leg work, not enough arms. the second part is a little confusing for the first time because i'm not very familiar with the terms in kickboxing like jabbing. however, i picked them up easily. the camera angle occaionaly drifts away from Donna when she's changing steps. that can be confusing. but again, this is only a problem for the first time. my biggest problem is the background exercisers are way too noisy & irritating.

Summary: Fun and Easy to Get Through
Review: Even when I don't feel like doing anything, I find it easy to get through at least 2 of the 15 minute routines although I only intended to do one. My favorite routine is Kick and Jab.

Summary: I love Donna!
Review: I work out daily so I like a challenge and variety. Donna definitely gives variety and I would LOVE to see her add some advanced tapes to her collection. This video is great because it has 3 20 minute routines so you can use it no matter how much time you have. The circuit training segment is the least fun but definitely works your whole body. Kickboxing (2nd segment) is GREAT and I always sweat like crazy. The dance segment is really fun and I hate to do cardio so it's nice to feel like you're dancing rather than working out. Donna is a great instructor - lots of motivation and fun in her workouts. It might be hard to follow for a beginner but after a few viewings, I think any level exerciser can benefit from this tape.

Summary: 3 Day Rotation
Review: I found this video easy to follow. I like the idea of doing 20 minutes of exercise and being able to change the routine each day. The one thing that I totally detested, however, is if she said "I got your back" once, she said it at least 50 times in one 20 minute period. I have to mute the sound because I find it so irratating.

Summary: Donna Richardson Rocks My World
Review: I love this workout! This is a great DVD to get if you want to get fit! While Donna is perky and motivating, she doesn't grate on your nerves. The weight workout is well balanced and can easily be adapted to different levels by changing the weights. Its hard to believe you get such a thorough workout in only 20 minutes! The kickboxing section really makes you sweat and the dance section is funky and had some pretty good dance moves. As someone who gets bored VERY easily, I am always amazed how often I can do this! Donna is great at cueing and the camera doesn't do what alot of workout videos do. (WHY WHY do they focus on people's upper bodies when you are learning a new move???!!!) Anyway, even on days I am loathe to exercise, I can totally do this one, its fun!

Summary: Was hoping for better
Review: I purchased the video because I liked the idea of three different twenty minute workouts on one tape. The cardio segment I didn't like. It was too hip hoppy with hard to follow dance steps. The kickboxing segment was ok; I have done a lot better. The weight trainig workout was the best. It worked the total body with an extra emphasis on the lower body with lunges and squats. This one unfortunately sits on my shelf with a lot of other unused workout videos I bought.

Summary: One of the best exercise videos ever!
Review: Donna Richardson is magnificent! She is extremely energetic and positive throughout the entire workout. This video is great for women that are very busy. It has three workouts on the tape. Donna and the other ladies are very attractive and that was a motivating factor for me. She encourages you throughout the tape and it is an excellent tape for women trying to lose weight.

Summary: This isn't bad
Review: I purchased this title because I was looking for something that would take advantage of the DVD features. Other than the options to play whichever segment that I wanted, when I wanted, without having to rewind or fast forward, this is no different than a tape. I had been encouraged to use the Instructor Cam when starting out .. in order to zoom in on the instructor for a better view of each new exercise. Unfortunately, the person who created the Instructor Cam view apparently was not paying attention to the exercises .. because occassionally the instructor was talking about a leg exercise, while the Instructor Cam was zooming in on her face. It wasn't until I switched views that I discovered that I had been doing some of the exercises incorrectly, based on what she was saying. I do like the kickboxing segment .. this being my first experience with that type of an activity. I did feel rather lost at first, not knowing how to do some of the exercises that moved very fast. But now that I have caught on .. I'm grateful for the fast pace. I do work up a sweat .. and my heart is beating faster at the end. I have not exercised regularly for a year or so, and was somewhat out of shape. This DVD was not a bad choice to help me get back into the swing of it all. I do imagine that once I'm back in shape, I will move on to something a little more challenging.
