(More customer reviews)This DVD consists of four 15 minute sections:
1)BUTT & HIPS: effective standing lunge and squat variations with weights and floorwork.
2)ABS: innovative crunch variations and reverse curls that work upper and lower abs and obliques
3)THIGHS: all standing exercises (no weights). Not your average squats and lunges - interesting combos and balance moves
4)UPPER BODY: you'll need a chair and 2 sets of weights. You'll work biceps, chest, triceps, shoulders and back.
You can choose each segment individually, pick a few or just let the DVD play all the segments and if you do that the order is how I listed it above. you can also select the order of exercises within each section or let the DVD shuffle the order.
Each toning section has 8-10 exercises and they are very effective BUT there is a pause between each set. The workout stops and you see a Shape screen with a beach. Then it goes back to the workout and the next exercise. The pause is only a few seconds but it's annoying and makes the workout choppy. I guess it has to be that way so you can select the order of exercises. One exerciser shows modifications and there are tips that pop up onscreen.
There is also a 20 minute aerobics section. I didn't do that, so I can't comment. I wish there was a stretch section instead of the aerobics. There is a warm-up and cool down before each segment, but it's less than a minute. I felt I needed a good stretch, especially after the legwork.
