(More customer reviews)I bought this DVD because I wanted a workout DVD that can REPLACE my gym workout, not provide me with something a little extra on a "down" day. Lucky for me, unlucky for my muscles, I got what I asked for.
Program 1 is a cardio workout simulating hills so your heart rate goes up and down steadily. This workout is very intense, and I wouldn't recommend it if you have weak knees due to the jumping lunges and jumping jacks. Ouch. I am used to doing 50 min. of moderate/intense training on the elliptical, where I only produce a thin sheen of sweat--not with this one! I definitely had to stop in the middle to have some H2O. Everytime I do any of the Shape workouts I lose about 2 lbs of water weight. Interesting. I will also note that I go to the gym about 4-5 times a week and am not overweight. These workouts are challenging to people who are in shape, not just a moderate exerciser.
Program 2 is sculpting...I think there is a little too much emphasis on the arms in this one instead of the legs, but oh well. I also wish there was a section just for abs instead of them just telling me to squeeze my abs while I did the other exercises. After lifting for so long I could barely lift my arms and they do shoulders (full extension) towards the end of the weights section, which I think is a terrible idea!!!
Program 3 is a mix of kickboxing, sculpting, and drills. On my first rotation of the 3 programs, I had to take a day off between programs 2 and 3 to let my muscles heal, because after 2 I could barely stand and definitely could not do a squat or lunge! Now, this program is either the easiest of all three, or I'm getting the hang of these crazy workouts, because today I'm only a little sore. I was still sweating a lot during this one though (yup, 2 lbs of water weight gone).
Overall, I really like how there are a variety of workouts on one DVD; you can do it everyday without getting bored (so far). I am going to continue with the program they suggest of rotating the workouts 5 times a week to see if I tone up some. However, if I update my review and say that I lost like 10 lbs or something crazy like that, I'm still going to the gym like 4 times a week in addition--so, doing two workouts a day may contribute further to my weight loss, hah. Oh, and I love the resistance band that comes with the DVD. It really helps with the intensity.
