5.0 out of 5 stars My first video

K.D.H. · December 16, 2012

A little over a year ago I got serious about exercise, at 51 years of age as I realized if I don't start moving now I won't be able to move when I'm older. I started with a goal of 30 minutes of exercise daily and this was on the now defunct exercise tv. It's about 23 minutes long and boy is it great. I could not believe that I could exercise for 23 minutes and cover legs, arms, butt, thighs, stomach, shoulders and do some cardio too. She explains everything very well and is very perky, yet not annoying. I really like her and she also wants you to be successful without killing you but pushing you to move past your comfort zone. Easy to follow and does jumping jacks, jump rope as the cardio and the only thing I have a problem with is sometimes have to instead of jump up on 2 feet, just do one foot at a time as I do find it a heavy impact even with good aerobic shoes, but I'm a big lady, 220, but you still get a great workout, then squats, shoulders on floor, abs, she repeats the sequences and gives you little tips and it's great to do in the morning before work when I want a workout but haven't got a lot of time, she's great & wish she had more videos. Glad I started exercising, have more energy, stamina & deal with stress better.

I couldn't find much about this video that I liked. I know exercise routines are subjective, but I was disappointed after reading the high reviews(who is paying these people)! Here's what I didnt like: Instructor started off jumping rope, she talked unnecessarily throughout, and the music was awful, and... the yoga had same music as aerobic part..huh?!! I have bought many, many exercise videos over the years and admit I like fun or somewhat interesting ones. My favorites are Richard Simmons party off pounds, any leslie sansome, and tantric yoga. This one just didn't make the cut.

I ordered this after watching a friend use the yoga based workout. My husband and I did that workout together and enjoyed it but it did not really have a warm up and cool down. We plan to combine this routine with Rodney Yee's morning video which truly is a stretch and warm up prior to a more strenuous workout. Holly's other two workouts have too much jumping and running for us.

4.0 out of 5 stars It Is A WORKOUT!!!!!!

I got this after watching her on You Tube. I had been just walking to Leslie Sansone great beginner dvd. This one is much more powerful. Since I am not in good shape I can't guarantee this one for someone who is already been doing a changeling workout. If your looking for something with cardio and strength training this is for you. I was unable to complete the entire workout. But you can definitely feel it. So if you want to pump up cardio she uses 5-8 pound dumbbells and a yoga mat. Have your mat out and ready because by the the time I got my mat out I was behind, so that is just a nice thing to know in advance. She does hit most large muscles. I will get working on this one. I would recommend this one, I like this girl.

1.0 out of 5 stars It doesn't work in my computer OR my DVD player!

I wish I could return the dvd. I loved the workout. I rented it first, then purchased it. It worked once on my MacBook. After that I got a message saying that there was a problem with the dvd player in the computer. Used it with a dvd player and it worked for a week or so and then just didn't play.

I recently saw a segment of this workout on Exercise TV and loved it so much I added to my exercise DVD collection. This DVD has 3 20 minute segments - Cardio, Total Tone & Yoga Energizer. Holly is a wonderful instructor explaining each move with clear, precise instructions, and the equiptment you need is a set of weights and yoga mat. At the end of each segment Holly tells you how many times to use the workout to get great benefits, and for the exerciser you come away feeling you have worked your entire body. I workout 3 days a week along with taking a water aerobic class in the evening and this DVD is perfect for my Thursday workouts. I find some mornings when my muscles are a little sore just doing one of the 20 minute segments in the morning my soreness goes away and I feel wonderful.Whether you are a beginner or intermediate exerciser and are looking for a exercise workout that targets the whole body in 50 minutes this is the DVD to add to your collection.

I stumbled across this work out over a year ago on ondemand. I loved it right away it was perfect for time only 20 mins for 1 workout and it gets your heart rate up nice and works everything in your body. I remember after a week of doing it straight i felt in much better shape and could feel a slimmer me. Then on demand got rid of it and i was bummed! I should have j ordered a new one but i just didnt have enough time. But ill tell ya i contiuned to used some of the moves like the chest flys tricep tap back and my arms got in excellant shape not to too muscley but toned and defintion and with the moves stayed that way. I was so happy to see this workout again on my bluray Bolo tv. Ordered it right away!!

I did this once and was so bored, went back to Denise Austin in a flash! Having said that, I'm sure it would be a good workout but it's just every boring.
