Customer Reviews

great workout for those who aren't into dancey stuff!
I bought this because I liked the cardiobox section of Davina's 30 minute workouts, and she hasn't been back in the player since! This dvd is great-a top-class instructor and workouts that really work. I'm a moderate exerciser- not amazingly fit - and I found it both at my level and allowing for improvement because of its flexibility.
The dvd has 5 sections of 10 minutes each which you mix and match to whatever time you want to do. I usually do 4/5 (see below)
Basic Training is a good warm up and introduces the kickbox moves slowly so you can get your technique right.
Ultimate Buns and Thighs targets the lower body with kicking and squats and lunges
Arm and Shoulder Sculptor uses weights and punches and some triceps work. Beware using too high a weight on the punches though when you are starting out as your arms can get tired and compromise your technique.
Washboard Abs is a reasonable abdominal workout and my cooldown.
Fat Burning Blast is exactly that and much much harder than the other sections. I'm not up to that yet, it's hardcore.
Keli Roberts does *not* "look like a man" as one listmania reviewer sniped- she looks like a tough, very fit woman and I would kill for her muscles! She's encouraging and her instructions are clear and concise.
My only negative is that there's no structured stretch and cooldown section: each segment has a short stretch at the end but it's quite brief and I spend another 5 minutes or so doing stretches from my pump class to finish

Great all over workout
I bought this DVD because I am going off all the 'celebrity' DVDs and just wanted a good workout which would work all my muscle groups, give me a challenge and not be too aerobic that I can't do it at any time of the day. It delivers all of this. There is lots of punching for arms and kicking, squatting and lunging for legs, but they are well broken up so you get a great work out without being too fatigued. Makes a great change and ther are lots of combinations and moves that I haven't seen on other DVDs.

Great workout, even with dodgy knees!
Because of the breakdown of this DVD I would imagine it suits both the beginner & the intermediate exerciser. I'm fairly fit (despite the knees!) and work out 3 to 4 times a week. I tend to do the entire DVD but really know I've worked hard by the end of it! After several weeks of use I'm still finding it interesting and challenging which is a very positive sign for me!
Love the instructor, she's straight forward, encouraging and blessedly free of irritating 'whoo yeah' noises!!
Agree with a previous reviewer who points out lack of proper warm up. I find that I need to target my stretches to weaker areas before starting, but once I've done this I'm ready to go. Having said that, my sister finds the warm up sufficient so it might just be me! The workout is also thankfully free of too many lunges which play havoc with my knees!
Rate this DVD highly and would whole heartedly recommend it.
