Donna Richardson: 3 Day Rotation 2000

Summary: Awesome workout!
Review: All 3 of the segments (rather done together or independently) give you a great workout and best of all they allow for a workout between 20 and 60 minutes! In 20 minutes you can get your heart pumping and start feeling good without having to sacrifice too much time. I alternate between 20 and 40 minutes workouts on this DVD and some of the other videos in my collection (Denise Austin, Jane Fonda, Tae Bo...). None of them work it like Donna Richardson though!

Summary: Good Beginner's Workout
Review: This workout was great for me, because I'm a beginner. But the DVD will remain useful for a long time because of its versatility. You can do anything from one basic workout (20 minutes) up to three advanced workouts (60 minutes). You do need a pair of dumb bells to do the toning workout. I wasn't sure I would like the kickboxing workout, but it turned out to be a lot of fun. My only problem was with the dance workout. I do not like funk and don't like having to sway my hips around. The other two workouts and the versatility of this DVD still make it well worth the $...

Summary: LOVE IT. WORK IT DONNA
Review: I love this tape. Donna is motivating, energetic, and a great trainer. The routines are fun, effective, and varied to prevent boredom. I usually combine the workouts to get a full workout, but I like the option of a short workout when I am pressed for time. I am an experienced exerciser, and primarily work out to videos. I like a lot of variety and "spunk" without the Barbie factor. If you are looking for a fun, compact workout led by a spunky gal you'd like to hang out with after class, this is it. I also highly recommend her 4 Day Rotation toning series. But hey, I like (and own) all of her videotapes. Happy exercising!

Summary: Excellent work out for those who have short attention spans!
Review: Getting back in the swing of being fit is always hard. Donna Richardson's 3-Day Rotation is a great way to do it. I enjoy this one. I can't stand some of the regular blonde instructors who seem to babble during the work out and don't get you anywhere. This works your whole body in three different ways. The kick and jab is intense while the dance and toning are not as intense. This is great for any level. I will buy more of her tapes.

Summary: short and effective
Review: this video has 3 sections, each 20 minutes long, with their own warm-ups and cool-downs. the toning section is good, though you won't always break a sweat. it does a good job firming up most of your body. the kick and jab will definitely get you sweating, though she probably doesn't really know what she's doing, and the whole "i've got your back" thing is redundant and kind of annoying. i just try and ignore it when she says that. as for the dance section, i watched it once and that was enough. too low-impact for me, but if you're a beginner, you might like it. i only use the first 2 sections, but i think they're great.

Summary: Not bad
Review: I really enjoyed the toning and kickboxing segments, but the dance aerobics was a little too advanced. Richardson has a good approach and is upbeat without being annoying, although if you want to amuse yourself, count how many times she says, "I've got your back" during the video, particularly in the toning segment.

Summary: Effective and fun workouts in manageable chuncks of time!
Review: I am very impressed with this video. I was a regular exerciser last spring (spinning, aerobox routines, treadmill and weights) but fell off the exercise wagon. These routines are plenty challenging for me and will probably remain so for a while. They are challenging but do-able and the variety keeps it fun. The choreography is clear and easy to follow and Donna Richardson is a motivational leader. Worth every penny!

Summary: good workout, entertaining
Review: This tape was a good workout - the three sections make for some variety, which helps keep you from feeling tired. The weight section wasn't as intense as I would have liked, but was nice low-level toning. The boxing and dance party segments are surprisingly fun, and the music isn't half bad (mellow-funk-latin-jazz), esp. when compared with many other videos. Good for all levels - if you aren't familiar with boxing, you'll need to pause a few times.

Summary: Even an old lady can do it
Review: Until my daughter moved in to look after me, I never exercised. I am a mature woman of 55 and did not want to go to the gym. My daughter introduced me to workout videos. I recently purchased Donna Richardson's Three-Day Rotation video and love it. I haven't moved to the advanced level yet but I really enjoy the other two segments. It's great that there is an exercise video an older person can use.
