Reader Reviews I have never used a workout DVD, unless you count the handful of times in college that I tried to do Cindy Crawford's workout video (aaah...the 90s!). I am NOT an exerciser and never have been. Anyway, I have been alternating this DVD with the "Total Workout in 10" daily for 8 weeks. I think this one is a little harder. I agree with the others that it's very fast-paced. However, since it is broken into six different segments (2 strength w/weights, 2 cardio, plus a warm-up and cool-down), it makes the time seem to go quicker. Even on the hardest set (which, in my opinion, is the 2nd cardio one), I can get through it because I know it will be only 7 minutes or so. Amy does a great job of encouraging and explaining things. I also agree that the comments and noises from the girls in the back can be annoying (especially at 5 a.m.), but I'm probably just jealous. I will admit that after 8 weeks of doing either this or "Total Workout in 10" every morning, I have NOT lost one pound. In fact, I think I've gained a few. However, when I started this, I said I was looking not to lose weight, but to tone up, and I think I have accomplished that. My legs are definitely firmer and my arms are almost looking even a little ripped! My husband has really noticed a difference in the way I look, and he claims the extra pounds are from new muscle??? If you're a beginner and have the stubbornness like I do (meaning you won't quit even when you feel you might die on the floor), get this one! I never thought I would get to this point, but now I can actually do this entire workout now and barely break a sweat. I NEVER thought anything would turn me into a true "exerciser," but this one might do it! Don't tell anyone, but I think I almost look forward to doing it every day. I don't know how it is for experienced exercisers, but for a beginner this is great! It kicks your hiney yet makes it just easy enough that you can force yourself to keep at it without getting discouraged! Go Amy Dixon!
