(More customer reviews)When I first saw that Marisa Tomei was coming out with a workout DVD I laughed, or maybe "snorted with derision" would be more accurate . . . I love Marisa Tomei as an actress, but I just felt like the world didn't need another "celebrity" workout.
But, I was wrong.
This workout is actually really fun, well produced, seems to be very effective, and has that all too rare "it" factor that makes me want to keep coming back to it over and over again . . . no "dread factor" here. The instructor offers great cuing, and Ms. Tomei is personable and demonstrates good form.
As to the workout itself, it's not exactly traditional toning, but it's not Pilates either . . . it is very core-focused, and does work on lots of little accessory muscles that aren't normally targeted in more traditional toning workouts. There are no deep lunges or squats, but there are quite a few plank-based moves as well as traditional push-ups. Interspersed throughout all three workouts are little "speed and agility" bursts of skipping, hopping and side-stepping, so there is a (albeit minimal) cardio factor as well. The DVD includes a resistance band that you use looped around your ankles in quite a few of the moves - this definitely increases the burn, and is not "gimicky" at all.
There are three individual workouts. The first is about 25 minutes long, and targets the entire body, with a very long and intense ab section. The second workout, which is about 20 minutes long, is all about the legs, although it does work the core as well. The final workout, about 15 minutes long, is a mini total body workout, with some exercises borrowed from the first two workouts, but some other unique exercises as well. There is a brief warm-up and cool-down/stretch included when you play each individual workout. The "custom workout" option is a nice tool that allows you to play the individual workouts back-to-back, in whichever order you choose. In that mode, the warm-up in only played once, at the beginning, and the cool-down/stretch is only played once, at the end of the workout.
All in all, I must say I was surprised by how fun and effective this workout is. I am an intermediate level exerciser, and I found most of this workout very doable, but still challenging.
