Firm: Target Toning - Zero in Ten Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The DVD contains 5 ten minute sections:
Lean Leg Definer
Fearless Arms
Bikini Body Blaze
ABS-olute Core
Bun Burn
You can play all or create a custom workout. There are two differnt instructors Rebekah Sturkie and Emily Welsh, but only one per section. I thought Rebekah Sturkie did overall a good job leading the workouts with cues, but I noticed a little problem with form. She flexed her back when she did rows, and you are supossed to keep a straight back. Emily Walsh's workouts were so fast paced and not very many reps per move, so I had to rewind a few spots. I like that each section has a mix of "traditional" moves like squats, lunges, push ups, and planks, but they added new twists. They added intervals and isometric moves that burn a lot of calories. They also incorprate moves that work your core and balance. The short warm up for each section didn't bother me like it did a previous reviewer, when I did all the sections togegher, so I think that could be personal choice. I'm used to short warm-ups and cool downs per section from ten minute solution videos. In fact, I like to add a longer yoga or pilates warm up and cool down, so I will be less sore the next day. Therefore, I actually recommend doing more than what's on this DVD, if you do more than one section. I think this DVD could help raise beginners to the next level on the target areas, but may not be enough on their own for intermediate exercisers. I plan on doing all sections or adding them to other workouts.

Perfect Abs (2005) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I own just about every ab video/dvd out there. I got this one a few days ago, and I just did the first beginning ab bootcamp. It is great! The main things I like so far about this dvd are; 1. They don't fool around with 15 minutes of warm up. It is full on ab work beginning to end. 2. There is just as much work on the lower ab area (which I need the most), and that was just in the first segment. 3. There are six ab workouts, so I don't see myself getting bored in 2 months like I normally do.
I don't even know who has put this dvd out, but it is exactly what I was looking for, 100% ab work.

Dance with Julianne: Just Dance Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a DWTS fan, and owning Julianne's first DVD, I HAD to get this one.
This is Julianne's contemporary dance DVD workout, so no ballroom here. Again there is a warm up, cooldown and three dance segments, with a breakdown tutorial of the moves.
The three dance sections are: Work It, Flaunt It and Pump It. Each section features techno-y dance music, and starts with one move to add another etc until the routine is complete.
I have to be honest the first time I did this DVD, I wasn't too thrilled. I thought it was very difficult, and the steps were hard to get down, and yes I did watch the tutorial and I didn't find it a big help. I learn more by just doing the dance than breaking it down slowly; I learn more by doing the routine at full speed rather than a slow breakdown of the steps. But the first time, while the DVD was fun I found the choreo frustrating.
I gave it a second chance because it did my heart pumping the first time and LOVED it!! My advice to anyone doing this is don't worry about doing it perfect everytime. Just have fun with the moves, which are truly "music video" worthy. Don't worry how you look, don't worry if it's perfect just go with it and you will get a great workout! Some examples: in the "Flaunt It" routine you have to do kind of a drag running step which is impossible on a carpet so I just adjusted it and did what I could. And even though I have previous dance experience (about 25 years worth) I know the difference between an experienced dancer (myself) and a professional one (Julianne) So do the moves to the best of your abilties, remember you're not Julianne, and don't hurt yourself!
All in all this is a great workout and since it is so much fun the time flies by and by the end of it I am dripping sweat and didn't even realize it!
Excellent buy, so worth it!!
