For those who want their left brain to get a workout along with their bodies, Tamilee Webb's Science of Fitness series, including I Want That Body!, is are just what the personal trainer and professor ordered. Webb, an appealing and inspiring fitness instructor, includes scientific demonstrations conducted in a lab, showing how her exercises target each muscle group. This disc contains workouts for abs, arms, and buns, and each of those areas is divided into two 15-minute segments. If you're just starting out, do just one segment each; if you really want to up your results, go for both. Webb is encouraging without being off-puttingly perky, and she has the presence of mind, while doing very challenging moves, to calmly remind us of the science behind working each particular muscle. A small complaint: For the arms routine, all she says is to use some free weights; we don't know what size she's using, and there aren't different sizes for the different types of exercises, which can be a good modifier. But if you build in the option of lighter or heavier weights yourself, you should be able to proceed nicely. Extras include a quiz about common exercise forms, nutritional tips and different-angle shots of the routines. If you Want That Body, you better be prepared to work it, but Webb is an accessible leader and trainer and manages to inspire without being a cheerleader. --A.T. Hurley |

This will get you results! |
|
Tamilee's DVD will definately get you results, it's just making sure you do it regularly, as it is hard! I find myself picking this one last as I know it's going to be tough, and I'll be hurting for at least a couple days afterwards. If I do this one, I usually don't have the strength to do another DVD (cardio or otherwise) as my arms, butt or abs are usually exhausted! Try it, you'll see results! |

My Favorite Tamilee Video for Toning |
|
I had this video for some time, but felt the need to review it since I recently purchased the "Tight on Time: 2pk". I love all of her work out videos (also have the buns/abs of steel). I highly recommend all of them. This one is my favorite. It is tough and has two levels. The level two of the Abs is really tough! Love it! |

Almost Perfect |
|
I love this DVD. I love that there are six intense 15-minute sections I can pick from for arms, abs and buns/legs depending on how much time I have. I love to add these sections onto other workouts, mainly after cardio. I also love that she does about 3 sets of most exercises which makes that difference between 'toning' and getting the muscles really worked. I gave it only 4 stars because there is nothing for chest or back, but I still think this is an excellent DVD. It is somewhat fast-paced which gets my heart rate up if I use heavy weights, but still easy to follow and Tamilee is very friendly, natural and motivating. |

Great Exercise DVD! Perfect for those on a tight schedule! |
I moved to a city that didn't have a gym anywhere within 30 minutes. It's not that I'm not motivated enough to go to the gym, it's just that I'm always on a tight schedule.
At first I was really skeptical to get a workout DVD because of how cheesy they typically are. Not to mention, I honestly didn't think I would be able to get a good workout out of them. I was wrong!
For skeptics (like me) Tamilee describes in detail how she scientifically tests her exercises to ensure they are giving you good results. Even better, she tells you during the exercises which ones tested highest. Another cool feature is that you can turn the music/sound off when you feel comfortable doing the exercises without her guidance.
I WANT THAT BODY is so great!!! It provides you with six 15min workouts: 2 abs, 2 arms, and 2 buns. Program 1 exercises are actually fairly difficult. I consider myself to be a fairly athletic person, and they had me working and sore. Program 2 exercises are HARD! Don't get discouraged though, they look harder than they are, and the results are out of this world!
Friends and family compliment me on my toned body, and think I am lying when I say I don't go to the gym anymore- and "just" do a workout DVD. In all honesty, I look better than I ever did when going to the gym, and I feel better too! Lifting all of those heavy weights at the gym put a lot of strain on my back/shoulders/neck. Now I use (at MAX) 5lbs with the video if I feel like I want more of a workout. Although, to be honest, the video alone (without weights) is challenging enough most days!
I would recommend purchasing a yoga-type mat to do your exercises on, especially if you are doing them on hardwood floors like me. It's impossible to do her ab workout without a mat! I even put a small towel underneath my tailbone to prevent it from bruising as well.
Side note: Tamilee mentions putting your "mind into the workout" ... This is seriously the best advice I got out of the video. Once I blocked out all of things I had to do after I worked out and started focusing on what my body was doing... the results got even better! Especially in my abs! Try it!
If you haven't already... Get this video, it's well worth the money...
Good Luck! :)

Love it and it's a challenge! |
|
This work out is definitely a challenge even if you've been working out for a while. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to tone up. The workouts go fast and don't require any weights. |
