Summary: Great workout!
Comment: As someone new to exercising, I really like this dvd. I don't need to lose weight, but I'm out of shape, so the cardio session gets tough for me. I only do half of it now, and then just skip ahead to the strength training, but I'm sure I'll gradually be able to build up to the whole thing. As some others have mentioned, the dvd is quite long...But I don't even realize that while I'm doing it. The host is fantastic -encouraging in just the right way, not annoying or overly perky at all.

Summary: Women's Health Magazine Exercise Video
Comment: I viewed this exercise DVD as soon as I received it. The menu is in segments which makes it easy to pick and choose which exercise routine you want to do at that time, i.e. cardio, strength, core. It also has a yoga routine as a bonus at the end of the recording. Women's Health: Perfect Body Workout

Summary: Good instruction, tough workout for a used-to-be-in shape type!
Comment: Amy Dixon gives really clear directions and lead time before switching moves. Her voice and comments are more helpful than distrcting.
I like that the DVD is divded into segments: warm-up, cardio, strength, stretches. The two problems I have with it are first off, the Pre-built workout has some lag time in the transitions. It is basically palaying the whole DVD which leads to my second problem, which is the whole workout is too long for me! I'd like a nice balanced 45 minute or so workout for teh pre-built one, but it's over an hour. It's easy to work around with the remote, but that is why it is 4, not five stars in my book. The workout has me winded and sore- both good signs since I got it to get back in shape and lose some pregnancy pounds.

Summary: Another good one from Amy
Comment: I bought this DVD after doing Amy's UFB and TW10 DVDs for weeks on end and finally getting bored with them. This DVD seems a little harder than the other two, depending on how you do it. I will be honest and admit that I've never done this entire DVD in one sitting (not that I'm actually sitting. I wish!) It is 67 minutes long and, since I refuse to get up before 5:00, I don't have that much time. But I have been alternating, doing either the cardio and the core sections together, or strength and core together. Then on "slower" days I do just the core followed by the bonus yoga segment. I have never done yoga before, but I enjoy that bonus segment now and then. Feels really good but still makes you feel like you did something "extra". My trouble spot is definitely the kidney fat on my lower back. I saw results in my body tone while doing Amy's UFB and TW10, EXCEPT in my abs/back. So I was getting very discouraged. That is why I tried this DVD and always do the Core & More section. And I do think in the few weeks I've been doing it, I can feel some firmness finally happening back there. So if any of you are specifically looking for core work like I was, I would definitely recommend this DVD of Amy's over her other two. My one complaint is that, during the core section, Amy says to "Follow Stephanie for a modified workout." (She does that in all her DVDs, and usually you can notice that the modifier person is doing easier moves.) However, on this section, I don't see Stephanie doing ONE thing different than anyone else. So on days my body is telling me to take it easy, that is very frustrating and annoying. Otherwise, this DVD is another butt-kicker with a little different format than Amy's other two. So if you love Amy like I do but want something a little different, give this one a shot!
