   The dvd is broken down to a quick warm-up, a 10 minute cardio/strength workout, a 10 minute pilates workout, a 10 minute kickboxing workout and a quick cool down. Weights are needed for the cardio and pilates workouts. They advise 2 or 3 pounds, but you can also use a heavier weight. If you use a heavier weight, Chris Freytag advises that you will fatigue. She gives good advise and shows “how to” thru out the workouts that a beginner or an advanced exerciser can use. Because the workouts are in 10 minute segments, you don’t get bored and things are definitely moving.

   I’m on a personal workout challenge. I’m working out every day for 30 days. I began with Jillian Michael’s 30 minute shred, but frankly it’s a bit boring and repetitive and too high impact at my weight. Just because she can get the Biggest Loser’s to do jumping jacks and suicide jumps, doesn’t mean it’s good for them. Anyhow, I’m not dumping the workout, but I do need something to mix it up.
   
   I’ve tried several other DVDs and this is currently my favorite. The instructor is friendly without being obnoxious, she has good cuing, and I work up a sweat.

   Excellent for my busy schedule. I can find ten-minutes at a time, plus it is excellent workouts.

   I have several Prevention DVDs, and I like them, but I didn’t like this one. Even though I am an advanced excersiser, I am 43 years old, and throwing weights around at the speed shown on this dvd is a good way to get hurt. The whole thing seems disjointed to me, and I thought it was dumb to put the Pilates section in the middle. Who wants to stop and take their shoes off, and then put them back on again? There are a lot better dvd’s out there that accomplish the same thing.

   This is a great sculpting dvd! I wish it were longer. This is one of my favorite Prevention dvds.
