Buy This Item Gilad: Total Body Sculpt Workout, Vol. 2 by Bayview Films  Available from Amazon  $17.99  on 11-29-2008     <b>GILAD TOTAL BODY SCULPT WORKOUT 2</b><P>Total Body Sculpt Volume 2 - This DVD contains three separate workout sessions from Gilad, each one targeting different body parts. In each workout, Gilad weaves the best of strength training, circuit training, cardio bursts, plyometrics, and core training into a one-of-a-kind routine that will work your whole body. Each workout begins with a warm-up, followed by circuit training using light to medium hand weights. After working your whole body, Gilad then focuses on the body parts indicated in the title of each section: Workout 1 - Abs, Buttocks & Biceps; Workout 2 - Thighs, Abs, Shoulders & Triceps; Workout 3 - Abs, Thighs, Buttocks, Biceps & Triceps. Gilad has been voted FitTV's "Instructor of the Year" four years in a row and was inducted in the National Fitness Hall of Fame in 2007. Reader Reviews I am a huge Gilad fan, and was delighted to find a whole series of short but effective exercises on these DVDs. My major complaint is that the DVD's are clearly taken from TV shows, in which presumably people are supposed to continue the moves while commercials are playing. On the DVD, however, the program just cuts to the next sequence, with the result that you could do 3 sets of exercises one one side and nothing on the other while the DVD moves on to the next segment. This is a problem with all 9 of the short segments on all 3 of the DVD series. To get the full workout on both sides with all the moves, you either have to stop the DVD, do the missing exercises and start it up again, or rewind it and repeat the exercises from the missing portion. It's very annoying, particularly given that Gilad and crew have been making exercise videos for 20 years - you would think they would know better than to do something so amateurish. Is it really that hard to put in the missing pieces in a video designed for the home market??? My other gripe is that they take FOREVER to play the TV series theme music at the beginning of each video and I can't figure out how to skip past it. On his previous DVD's (such as the Quickfit series) you can go straight to a menu and right to the exercises. Given that these are short, it would be nice to have the same functionality here, too. That much being said, the exercises are great. I will probably use these when I'm short on time, but if I have time for a full workout, I prefer his "Ultimate Body Sculpt" and "Quickfit" series because they are made for DVD users, not TV watchers.
