DVD : Shape Toning Workout: Bikini Body All Year-Round |
- Good workout.I like that this DVD has a 20 cardio minute warm-up! It's effective in getting the heart pumping and has high impact modifications for really making the most of your cardio time. After warm-up cardio, I typically pop in this DVD when I want to work on toning a two specific areas (maybe thighs, arms on Tuesday and buns, abs on Thursday). The toning isn't especially hard; I'd say it is good for beginners, intermediate, and the uncoordinated. I like this DVD and use it regularly. It's very easy to follow and incorporate into your fitness routine.

- I was breathing heavily!I don't have much time to work out (mother of 3 under 3) so when I do, I have to make it count. Whever I do toning, I feel like I need to rev it up a little and get some cardio in. Whenever I'm doing cardio I think, "Gee, I hope this can stick with me the way that toning does..."
The thing that struck me right away with this program is that as I was doing the toning moves, I began to feel my heart pumping hard and my breathing was much heavier, as if I was doing cardio, too. That's a great sign to me, because then I can complete my workout in half the time.
I also appreciated that I could do a different body "segment" on different days, so I didn't overwork a specific area.
The bonus "cardio" segments are NOTHING SPECIAL, just your typical box steps and grapevines, etc. It's the toning segments that stood out.
I rented this through Netflix, now I'm planning to purchase it.

- Will Not Get Your Body "Bikini Ready"I was really excited about this DVD after reading the great reviews, but found it very disappointing. Although there are some good exercises in each section there are NOT enough repetitions of each exercise, and I did the entire workout without breaking a sweat. As a very busy working mom, I feel like this hour long workout (plus the 20 minute bonus) is a waste of time, as there are many more challenging and effective toning workouts out there (try Tamilee Webb or Kathy Smith). I guess this workout is probably targeted to an older, less fit audience (which I consider myself a part of), but I have serious doubts that it could get anyone's body into bikini shape. I didn't even feel sore afterward, and wouldn't recommend this DVD to anyone who's serious about getting in shape for summer!!

- great video for toning muscleThis video is awesome for toning your muscles. It really gave me a workout. I would not use it if your goal is to lose weight. But, for toning muscle, which is my goal,it is great.
