Great Workout DVD |
|
I like the short and simple workout sessions divided into ten minute sessions. I can do one or two sessions at a time since I am usually crunched for time. It does get me sweating and sore after 20 minutes. |

Great for a quick workout |
|
I just did this workout for the first time. I thought 10 minutes wouldn't be enough to feel like I really worked out, but the 10 minute cardio I tried and then the upper-body exercises made me feel like I really worked out. Amy Dixon gives good instruction and she isn't annoying like so many of my other videos. I think this is perfect if you are trying to fit in a short workout in a busy day. |

Women's Health: Total Workout in Ten!
I liked this DVD because I can choose how many of the 10 minutes sections to do according to the time I have each day. Amy Dixon is full of energy and encourages you to keep going without being annoying. I bought several DVD's but this is one of my favorites. My daughter also liked it and sometimes we do it together. I really recommend it. |

This girl kicks [...]! |
Get this video; you won't regret it! It does what it says - you get a great workout in ten minutes. Trust me, you will feel it.
I recently lost 30 pounds and decided it was time to start working out to keep stuff from "hanging." I don't have a lot of time on my hands and even though I have other fitness videos that contain short workouts, I found them either too short to feel effective or too complicated for a virtual beginner like me. I took a shot on this video and I'm so glad I did. Amy Dixon is a great trainer - I think her directions are clear and easy to follow and she's funny and encouraging without being overly chatty or obnoxious (Denise Austin and Kathy Smith are good trainers but Denise yaps too much and Kathy tends to yell). And the workouts themselves pretty much fly by - before you know it, you're done - but they make you work! Last night I did Denise Austin's cardio dance for 20 minutes and broke a light sweat. I did this video's upper and lower body sequences right after and was dripping sweat within the first three or four minutes. I like the fact that Amy has someone with her that does the beginner modifications - this works great for anyone who doesn't quite have their balance yet or who, like me, has arthritis and can't always do all the movements as shown.
I absolutely love this video and recommend it highly to beginner and experienced exercisers alike. Amy recommends starting with 3 pound weights but you can move up in poundage as you progress and get stronger. As I said, Amy is great and I'd love to get her other videos but I'll need to work up to them. The only thing I don't like about this video is the whooping and hollering by the ladies behind Amy - I find that extremely annoying but that's just me. All in all, this is a great workout video! You will definitely feel like you've done some serious work in a short amount of time. |

Fabulous, efficient workout! |
This video is fabulous. I've done it 3 times per week for 4 weeks and I already feel more toned and more energetic. You don't need any special equipment, just roughly 50-60 square feet of carpeted space and two 3 pound weights. In just over 40 minutes, you get a wonderful, comprehensive workout. Amy Dixon is very likeable. She is encouraging and enthusiastic without being overly bubbly and sweet. The five women who join her on the video are fit, but clearly women who have real lives apart from working out and worrying about their abs. The workout has four segments that you can do separately, or you can do all four in a row for a comprehensive workout. The first segment is a fast paced cardio workout. The second focuses on lower body. The third focuses on upper body. And the fourth is a combination of yoga and ballet moves that improve balance and flexibility and provide a cool down. I love doing all four in a row. Everything is set to a simple dance beat, so it's easy to keep with the pace. Many of the moves are downright fun. A few were a bit challenging the first time, but they are easy to learn after a few times through. One of the women on the video does modified versions of some of the moves that require a bit extra strength, balance or flexibility. I am in my mid-40s, a mom, and a full time professional. So I can't commit to long workouts at pre-set times. I was thrilled to find an at-home workout that gets my heart rate up for 40 minutes, works on all the muscles in my body and is (amazingly!) so fun that I look forward to it. Thank you Amy Dixon and Women's Health.
